I have owned a 08 tacoma for about 4 years now, and have noticed a possible problem with the toyota abs system. If when braking you hit a bump, pot hole, object, etc the abs system does not know exactly how to react and increases braking distance. I live in louisiana and our roads are not the best. I have noticed several times that i will be braking to avoid hitting something/someone, hit a bump, and my braking…

I used an inclined drive way, for a bay door, to pull into so i could turn around and park. When i applied the brakes my abs engaged and started whining.

When applying brakes on my 2008 toyota tacoma extended cab 4x4 to come to a stop, the brake pedal goes down almost to the floor, about 2 inched from the floor. This has happened since the vehicle was new. At about 18000 miles i reported the issue to the dealership and they checked the vehicle brakes and stated the pedal movement was normal. I had the front breaks replaced at 47000 miles and the problem persist. The…

I have a 2008 toyota tacoma. The way the brake and gas pedals are configured i frequently hit the gas pedal along with the brake pedal. The brake pedal when depressed goes almost to the floor. The pedals are so close together that the gas pedal is sometimes caught by the edge of my shoe while braking causing the engine to race. This especially happens when backing up and my body is contorted to see out the rear…
