I bought a 2008 Toyota Tacoma (new). Unfortunately, last year I began having some braking issues. Even-though it was not scheduled, I had my mechanic change out the original front disc brakes to better quality pads. When this took place, my mechanic advised me that my brakes were over-heating and turning the fluid brown. There also seems to be problems with the quality of the rear drum brakes. My truck experiences inconsistency every time I stop. Toyota says nothing is wrong. I believe this is another issue with quality as I and many others have had with the unintended acceleration.
