2014 Toyota 4RUNNER Brakes Problems

“When driving I have trouble stopping the vehicle. I had my brake pads replace in february, but this still did not help. My brake pedal will go all the way to the floor barely stopping the vehicle. I have taken it to two mechanics and both have concluded the master cylinder needs to be replaced due to a leak. Parts alone costing $2500 from Toyota.”

And if I'm driving at highway speeds the vehicle is extremely hard to stop. I have had to swerve around the vehicle in front of me numerous times because my brakes could not stop my vehicle in time. In an attempt to fix this issue I have had a certified mechanic replace the front rotors at 71k miles, 83k miles, 100k miles with the last time being with genuine Toyota rotors. …”

When the truck computer interprets your pressure and speed of that pressure on the brake pedal is urgent , brake assist takes over, and in my opinion, locks up the brakes! This is terribly dangerous! …”

“The vehicle is hard to stop and the brakes are spongy, ive driven a few 4runners and they are all like that and its dangerous. You have to push the pedal to the floor. The engine makes a horrible ticking sound when idling and sounds like the engine is going to blow up”
