Braking inconsistency, usually in stop and go or unexpected traffic stops, say at traffic lights and intersections. Occasionally the efficiency of the brakes varies, usually causing concern that one might / will not be able to stop short of a collision. Ie near misses.

This vehicle has what i consider to be a break problem. The pressure and length of pedal depression required to stop the vehicle is dangerous. I have to depress the pedal to the floor in order to stop under average driving conditions. It actually feels as though the pedal has not fully engaged the braking system when completely depressed. The length of travel in the pedal from the point where breaks initially engage…

Purchased new toyota tacoma trd sport in aug 2009 with zero miles. All seemed ok, other than a few frustrating cab rattles here and there. However, i also noticed that as my truck neared more miles (7,000 current), i now have to press on the brake pedal a bit harder, yet when i brought this up to the dealer, they stated all was normal and could not replicate. I've had a couple of instances where i've had to press…

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota tacoma. When he attempted to apply the brakes, the brake pedal would become stiff. This condition caused him to increase his stopping distances. On one occasion the brake pedal fell to the floor, which disabled him from pushing the pedal. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for inspection. The technician could not provide a remedy because he could not duplicate the failure. The…

The brakes on my 2009 toyota double cab are very spongy and down right scary. After several minutes of driving the brakes become very soft, the height of the pedal decreases and the vehicle pulls to the left or right before it finally comes to a resting stop. The vehicle stops only when the brake pedal is pushed inches away from the floor. The vehicle is very difficult to stop when loaded with cargo or traveling…

I have a 2009 toyota tacoma double cab pre runner. The brakes are spongy and become even softer when driven. The brake pedal slowly loses height, sinking towards the floor. Stopping distance becomes unpredictable and the vehicle becomes more difficult to stop. I've complained to the dealer several times, and filed numerous complaints with you guys. Will you please help me resolve my braking issue. *tr

I own a 2009 toyota tacoma pre runner double cab. The brakes are very soft and become softer when driven. They only catch when pushed all the way to the floor. I'm very cautious when i drive the vehicle, spending most of my time judging distance. I'm afraid this method used to operate this vehicle will fail me soon. *tr

I notice the brake pedal goes all the way down before the brake feels that is applied. I've taken back to dealership and they found nothing in error. I disagree. I've had several other people drive my car-with the same concern. Brakes don't grab. My brother who is ups head mechanic said the same, a fault with the brake pedal. Shouldn't have to go to the floor before the braking system is applied. Just want you to…
