Issue ID	938122

Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	RAV4
Model Year	2006
File date	25/08/12
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	At first, when the brake pedal was depressed, a hissing sound appeared to come from inside the vehicle. The vehicle still braked normally, requiring the usual distance to stop. However, after some time, the "brake" light came on, and braking feel completed changed, requiring the pedal to completely be depressed just to slow the vehicle down to a stop. The brake fluid level in the master cylinder was at the proper (maximum) level and no leaks appeared around the brake calipers / pistons and ground. It seemed several owners of this generation of rav4 (3rd generation) had exhibited similar symptoms pointing to a "brake booster" failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent, reliable shop and the "brake booster" was verified to be the problem.
