Brake fluid leak seeping from brake master cylinder, leaking from actuator to brake peadal and drips of fluid found on floor of vehicle. This is an obvious safety risk as not only is oil/fluid dripping on to the brake pedal, if the master cylinder goes out the brakes could stop working completely. This component has been inspected and confirmed by a Toyota dealership and there are other examples of this same issue happening to other Tacoma owners. This issue has been recalled on 2018 Toyota Tacomas, however, the recall needs to be expanded to more years as it is obvious that other Tacomas are being effected.

The car was put in reverse in order to get out of a parking space. As I turned the wheel as it was in reverse the car began to act weird and the brakes did not seem to work. I pumped the brakes 3 times, but it was too late and the car parked behind me was hit. I was going slow when I reversed, however my whole bumper snapped off and my taillight shattered. The truck seemed to have accelerated without the gas pedal being used. . . . The brakes seemed to work just fine after, however dealership told me there weren't any codes indicating a loss of brakes. There was no fluid or leakage on the compartment either. Everything was fine I was told, but it doesn't seem to add up for me. This truck was second-hand from the dealership, so I am not sure if it was part of the trucks that had a recall on brakes. The current recall on it had to do with the pump which there is no remedy for.

About 1 month ago I noticed my brake pedal felt spongy. Checked fluid level, pads and shoes, ok. No sign of a fluid leak. 1 week later I was doing 65mph and had to come to an emergency stop. My brake pedal faded all the way to the floor and I had no braking at all, couldn't pump them up and steered for the open shoulder. I limped home, changed my shorts and looked up the problem on several Tacoma forums on the web. It seems to be a very common problem and nobody has an answer, people have replaced every component including the fluid with no luck. I hooked up my obd2 reader that has abs functionality and it showed no fault codes. This seems to be a common problem and everybody is just guessing what causes the failure. It is the brakes!, the most important safety feature on any car. My truck has been parked and will stay that way until someone (hopefully Toyota) figures out what is wrong and why.

The rear brake lines that connect over the rear axle rusted into and caused the brake fluid to leak from the braking system. When the truck was taken into a local service center for repair to the brakes the service center representative informed me that they could not repair the brake lines because the frame was rusted so severely that if put on a lift the frame would fall apart and the truck would break in half. The service center determined also the truck was not safe to drive. Service records at the dealership are on file where the truck was taken to the dealership for inspection of the frame and reported the truck did not have a rust issue as described in the letters I received and heeded the warning to have the truck inspected.

The rust on the rear end assembly is so severe that the brakes are compromised, and the back up emergency brake system has failed. The rust on the differential housing is so severe that the fluid has leaked out and the gears are at risk for catastrophic failure. The spring mounts to the axles are also rusting severely, creating a risk of lost control should either side break away. It takes great effort when braking, and the vehicle pulls severely due to rust causing the loss of integrity of the braking system. The brakes, once applied, do not release evenly, creating uneven brake wear, shuddering and shaking, resulting in poor control, excessive and uneven tire wear, I. E. , tires locked and dragging, scalloping. On wet, and I fear, icey, surfaces, the truck has slid sideways due to one or more wheels not releasing.

The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that brake fluid was leaking inside the vehicle. In addition, when applying the brakes, the brake warning light would illuminate. After inspecting the brakes, he noticed brake fluid leaking on the carpet of the vehicle. The vehicle was being taken to the dealer where the contact was awaiting diagnosis of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,000.

While descending a moderately steep dirt road we experienced a total failure of the hydraulic and emergency braking systems. Vehicle was coasted to a stop on a flat area of road. After approximately 45 minutes brake system slowly returned to normal operation. Local dealer inspection revealed no apparent cause for the malfunction and no suggestion as to what possibly could have caused both brake systems to fail. No evidence of brake overheating or fatigue, no fluid leaks or stored computer fault codes. Dealer suggestion, "drive it till it fails again and bring it back".
