 Description of the problemWas approaching a red traffic signal, coasting in case the light turned green before the need to stop. Light was still red, so i stepped lightly on the brake pedal. The was no sign of braking. I then increased pressure on the pedal, with no braking action. Surprised and concerned, i then set my left foot on the brake pedal and pushed with all i had with both feet, but there was no braking action that i could feel. The truck stopped as it bumped the vehicle in front of me. Engine speed was normal when the event began, and when the event ended. I did hear a relatively minor increase in engine speed during the event. The brakes worked properly before and after the event. One additional note. For years i have noticed a few times per year a momentary increase in engine speed immediately after stopping at a traffic signal. You never know when it will happen. The speed increase is greater that an a/c speed pickup, but lasts only briefly, then returns to idle. I keep my foot on the brake pedal with enough pressure that the truck does not move forward. Had truck towed to dealer following the incident. Dealer found nothing wrong. They spoke with toyota reps and were told toyota was unaware of any problem. Unable to trust the truck and having been advised that ford had similar brake failures in the past caused by abs brake actuator, i paid the dealer to replace the actuator. After spending more than $1200 for repair, i still do not know if the brakes will fail again. A brief internet search indicates to me that this was not a loan, random event as indicated by toyota reps. The consequences of brake failure are serious. The dealer did provide me with the original actuator that was removed from the truck during the repair work. I will provide the original actuator for any legitimate agency to check it out if that could be helpful.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

    Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
