| Description of the problem | Everytime i came to a stop light or sign, the brakes would lose pressure and then the car starts going through the light, while i am still holding the brakes. The would also lose pressure to where i could not stop in the middle of a hot day. Problem was consistent first thing in the morning on the way to work. Took it to toyota dealer and they could not figure it out at first. They had me replace the brake pads, and rotors and bleed the lines numerous times. This still did not work and they said i needed a new master cylinder/brake booster. This assembly is all in one so the whole unit had to be replaced costing over $2,000 for the parts not including labor. The truck is a 2005 toyota tundra with only 60,500. They told me i was out of warranty and had to pay the cost because they have never heard of this failure before. |
