Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2006 Toyota Tacoma

Excessive corrosion and rusted through frame that is unable to support weight of vehicle. Had a brake line bust due to being rusted or corroded out. Also suspension shows excessive rust and corrosion. Cooling lines corroded. Power steering lines corroded. Transmission lines corroded. Any metal line is that's attached to this vehicle are corroded. And all brackets and hardware attached to frame and even the metal pulleys all excessively corroded.

The brake lines are all rusty on my truck. I had to have one brake line replaced and all are in danger of leaking at any time. There is so much rust on the underside of my truck that more of the brake lines are going to break and cause an accident. Also I just had to have the steering rack replaced at 63000 miles and the lines to the steering rack were rusty and had to be replaced.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that after the vehicle was repaired under a manufacturer's recall. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake warning indicator illuminated continuously. The contact stated that when the ignition was turned to the off position, the engine did not turn off. The contact had to press the remote start in order for the vehicle to turn off. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake lines were leaking and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Sg.

Complete loss of braking when pressing down on brake pedal. Vehicle was inspected by Toyota dealership service department and they stated the condition was caused by loss of brake fluid due to extensive corrosion/rust of the brake line and the entire brake line needed to be replaced. This is a serious safety issue which can result in loss of life when brakes fail due to the defective material that is used in the manufacture of the brake line. A recall is necessary and must be implemented as soon as possible as this is such a serious safety issue which can result in loss of life. A case has been opened by Toyota and at this time they have offered me 50% of the repair cost, so it is evident that they realize there is a material defect problem, but anything less than a vehicle recall and 100% reimbursement of the repair cost is not acceptable, especially due to the seriousness of this problem.

Driving from back yard to driveway to position truck for long trip. Driveway is slope. Unable to stop truck with foot brake; pedal went to floor. Had to stop with emergency brake. Refilled brake master reservoir, still no brakes. Towed to shop. They found steel brake line rusted through. Replaced steel lines with copper nickel lines. Don't think brake lines should rust through at 39,000 miles. Had failure happened at speed on highway there would have been an accident.
