Approaching an intersection on city streets I experienced temporary brake failure. When applying the brakes to slow down the pedal went all the way to the floor and did not slow down the vehicle. After rolling through the intersection without incident I pumped the brake pedal a few times which returned the brakes to an operational status. This has happened 3 times in 2 days. Other Toyota 4runner owners have also reported the same or similar issues in the last 12months.

Complaint 11043597. Experienced complete loss of brakes. No warning light. Brakes were reset? after vehicle arrived at dealer. Ecu did not download any warning codes. Based on this, Toyota will not repair/replace corresponding brake components and want me to drive the car. This was a complete brake loss with pedal to the floor and no brakes. Used parking brake and transmission to stop car. Checking the net, there are other 5th generation 4runners with similar brake failures and similar no action from Toyota.

Brake failure. Approaching 4 way stop. Went to apply brakes, heard-felt a pop and pedal went to floor and lost all braking power. This is a new vehicle. Had to use parking brake and transmission to slow to stop. Fortunately only going 30mph. . . . . . . . Still rolled into center of 4 way intersection. Thank god no cars in front of me or there would have been an accident.

Partial brake failure in high ambient temperature. Driving on interstate i5 through nevada. Ambient temperature 100 degrees f. Engine temperature gauge read normal. Stopped for gas. On restarting engine the brake booster system did not recharge the hydraulic accumulator. Brakes were functional but pedal position was halfway to floor and excessive pressure required to activate brakes. Almost collided with kerb because of the surprise. No local service available so continued to drive. Next morning at 70 degrees f temperature the system had recovered and operated normally. Subsequent check by dealer showed no fault codes or evidence of failure.

Perpetual rear brake failure due to leaking rear axle grease seals which throw grease onto rear brake shoes. Soaking them and rendering them useless and innefective. Causing unsafe braking. According to Toyota dealer, and sears auto service in dover, delaware. , repairs similar to this are being performed on similar vintage Toyota four runner models on a weekly basis. The average repair cost is over $1000,. This appears to be a vehicle manufacturers defect not a standard maintenance issue and could result in injuries or death.

Suffered sudden, catastrophic failure of vsc/abs brake system while driving. Vsc, abs, brake dash indicator lights illuminated with an audible alarm. Vehicle operated normally for about 1 mile, then lost most braking control. Narrowly avoided collision with another vehicle due to having minimal brake system. Had to use evasive steering and emergency brake maneuvers to slow and stop vehicle. After researching this issue on auto repair blogs there seems to be a common issue with the vsc/abs system in most Toyota vehicles, especially camry's. Replacement of the defective part costs $3200 and Toyota refuses to acknowledge the problem or help pay for the repair since my vehicle is out of warranty. Catastrophic brake failure should not be tolerated by any manufacturer. Personally, I believe a recall is needed on all Toyota vehicles using the vsc/abs systems before more serious accidents, injuries or deaths occur.

My 2006 Toyota 4runner brakes have failed when hitting an uneven surface- ie- pole. When the brake pedal was depressed, the pedal went all the way to the floor and released. The wheel spun freely without control. The brake did not activate.

I drive a 2007 Toyota 4runner sr5 and believe it has the same issue with brakes as the Toyota prius. When I try to brake on a bumpy road, the brakes do not properly work when I have to stop going more than approximately 25 miles per hour. The car makes a beeping noise then the car's brakes fail, then they overcorrect by becoming extra sensitive once off the bumpy section of road. This has happened on numerous occasions - I was just not sure it warranted a complaint - I was not sure if that was normal. I do not feel safe driving my car on bumpy roads as it is not safe.

Toyota recommends in the owners manual that brakes be inspected each 7500 miles. I did not see this in my manual. This is the only notice an owner receives. At 19,900 miles my rear brakes failed because adjustments had not been made every 7500 miles. I did not get any warning lights, only rear brake failure. If the general maintenance is not performed each 7500 miles the brakes can fail and mine did. The manufacturer will not cover this under the warranty. There is no warning before rear brake failure. The owner must rely on their memory to ensure safe operation of rear brakes.
