2004 Toyota Tundra Brakes Problems

“When we drive the truck, when you press the brakes they often go all the way to the floor. Driving while on city streets as well as on the freeways. You have to pump them in order just to stop before hitting anyone. After driving 30 miles, we have to refill the master cylinder with brake fluid.

We do not feel safe driving this vehicle in this condition. …”

“Toyota recalled my Tundra for a rusted frame. Dealer took possession of the vehicle in april. They provided a rental car, but no other update or contact until a week ago when the frame arrived. Now nearly complete, they want to charge me $8000 for additional parts not covered by the recall which they claim is necessary to make the vehicle pass inspection and roadworthy yet many of these parts were unaffected prior to the recall. At no time did Toyota ever inform us of additional costs not covered by the recall. Two of the items are critical to the value and drivability of the car. …”
