| Description of the problem | Two failures of complete brake failure. First time, maybe a month ago travelling 5-10 mph, applied brakes and pedal went to the floor. Same time as trying to brake saw a flashing yellow light on dashboard. Slowed vehicle with parking brake, stopped and started vehicle moving again and had normal brakes, tried to duplicate problem and no luck. Tuesday, june 6, driving 45 mph and approaching construction zone with maybe 40-50 cars backed up had no brakes with three passengers in car. When i hollered i had no brakes, wife heard a bell go off and saw a yellow light on the dashboard but i saw nothing. I swerved right onto the dirt shoulder, pressed down on parking brake with left foot, passed maybe 30 cars and at less than 5 mph had normal braking again, and no lights or bells ringing. Toyota dealer flushed brake system, found no debris, cannot duplicate or solve problem. We will trade vehicle in within a few weeks and tell the dealer about the problem. Has anyone else had this problem ? Appreciate a reply. |
