| Description of the problem | Brake pedal goes very low to the floor before engaging. Seems to be a common problem that i have heard lots of complaints about for this model. In other similar cases toyota has told customers is normal. Since this has started the brakes have been bled with no improvement. Also (probably a separate problem) both the back brake calipers had to be replaced because of leaking, first the right rear and later the left rear. Brakes were again bled each time, leak was gone but still a very low pedal. |
