Another vehicle cut in front of me and slammed on the brakes, I also applied my brakes. The brakes did not stop the vehicle and I hit the highway divider. The rear hub assembly broke off as a result of the accident. The front left quarter panel was heavily damaged. I have reported the brake problems multiple times to the dealer and each time was told that the brakes are "in spec". However, another repair facility found that the master cylinder push rod was too long causing excessive pressure required to stop the car.
Loss of brake effectiveness, pedal travels to floor, spongy brakes. Pedal clearance is 0. Inches (minimum 2. 8 inches at 100 lbf with engine on). Rakes less effective in hotter weather. Many close calls in stopping before hitting someone. Vehicle is unsafe! took vehicle in 5 times to dealership, called Toyota hotline, no fix yet they are stumpped! tried cleaning, adjusting, bleeding and master cylinder.
While the consumer was driving, the brakes failed and the consumer bumped the vehicle in the front. The dealer found out that the master cylinder had failed and there was an internal leak.
