December 16, 2006 - clear sunny day, great road conditions. i was 40 feet behind a vehicle going 35 mph when a suv slammed on brakes. my 2004 toyota prerunner brakes went to the floor and my truck would not stop. after hitting the suv and coming to a stop, i released my foot from the brake and the pedal went back to it's normal position. *nm

During a 23000 mile servicing, camelback toyota informed me i would need to have the brakes serviced, because 95% of the pads have worn down. i am aware of a recall on these trucks lower ball joint, but the service agent did not tell me that at the time i brought it in. i was never informed by the dealer of this recall. now, i am being charged for repairs, while the vehicle is still under warranty, for brake system failure (excessive/premature pad wear), and i believe this damage is because of the recall suspension issue. *jb
