| Description of the problem | Got in truck, started it, brake light remained on. While driving, brakes were soft. Checked brake fluid reservoir, low on fluid. Added brake fluid, pumped brakes- pedal went to the floor. Fluid under right front wheel. Had truck taken to my mechanic - brake line rusted out, all all other lines rusted as well. Recommended all get replaced as a safety issue. Not only rust issues with this vehicle- was in the toyota chassis recall- chassis coated with rust inhibitor. Differential rusted out- replaced at my cost. Toyota took no responsibility. Also replaced the hood release cable, emergency brake cable, as well as the two cables supporting the tailgate- all rusted out. Rear bumper rusted out too. |
