    Parking brake cables fracture of the housing at the point where cable enters rear brake backing plate. Rust and corrosion prevent the rear brakes from releasing or applying. Have seen on numerous other toyota vehicles with this design cable system from 2004 to 2012 model years. Rear brakes can overheat and cause fire or uneven brake operation and low pedal feel. *tr
