Description of the problem	This is a 2008 tundra v8, 4. 7l. I purchased the vehicle in may of 2009 brand new. It currently has 17,000 miles. Approximately sept 11, 2010 the dash light warning for brakes started blinking. I stopped turned off engine and restarted. Brake light came on steady. I pushed in the emergency brake and then released. Still brake light on. I drove for couple of hours with light on. Brakes did seem to work correctly. I had an oil and service maintenance completed in july 2010, and nothing was noted. On sept 20, 2010 the brake light was still solid red, so i took the vehicle to the dealership where i bought it from about 18 months ago. Service rep first checked brake fluid and it was near empty. A few more days and probably no brakes at all according to service rep. I get a call later in day and told "master cylinder and brake booster need replacing, under warranty".
