Brakes/pads on new 1998 truck were at 30% at first 12 months and needed to be replaced and rotors turned.

I have a great concern for the safety of my family while driving my 1998 Toyota Tacoma 4wd extra cab. Dealer stated that there have been several brake replacements on similar vehicles from 7000-16000 miles on vehicle; however, due to no formal complaints, nothing can be done. Due to this fact, it will cost from $300-400 to repair, becuase warranty ends 12month/12,000 miles.

13 Brake Foundation Components problem of the 2000 Toyota Tacoma

This vehical and I think many other Toyota vehicals falsly show a dash light to indicate a brake system problem when there is no problem. When I took it to the dealer they said the brake fluid was low but it was between the min/max levels indicated. I pressed the dealership and they admitted that the fluid level had to be at the max mark or the dash light would come on and they said that they have a bunch of people come to the dealership due to this false indication. In my opinion the vehical should not give a false indication of trouble with the braking system when the fluid level is correct. I think many people are wasting time going to the dealer due to this manufacturing defect.
