| Description of the problem | 2004 toyota tundra with 44000 miles has developed a brake problem. Air repeatedly gets into the brake lines with no loss of fluid causing the brake pedal to go to the floor when braking. The tundra has been at the dealer for four months trying to be repaired, the toyota rep has visited on five separate occasions, called the factory engineers and it is still not fixed!
