| Description of the problem | I got into truck to drive and had no brakes. They had "gone" out overnight. The truck was towed to dealer and we found out that a brake line had rusted out. Less than three months later the same thing happended again. Now it is an additional two lines that have rusted out. Toyota is telling us that its normal and not unexpected for this to happen with a truck that has almost 50,000 miles on it. In addition, since there are several brake lines on the truck, the others could go at any time. This is an extreme safely hazard as the brakes could stop working at anytime the truck is driven. |
