| Description of the problem | Since day one that i have purchased the truck i have complained that the brakes don't slow the truck down as it should. That you have to pump it at least one time for them to act normal when slowing down. Some times it is over half way to the floor before you stop. And that is with out pulling a load. When i talked to the dealership (jay wolfe toyota of k. C) was told that "it was magic brakes" , i have had to go back to the days of old where you give it a pump then it works. I have almost rear ended several people. These brakes are dangerous. And i paid $50,000. For that. They did not consider this to be a problem that maybe i needed to get use to the truck. |
