Brakes Failed Problems of Toyota Tacoma

Knocking noise from vacuum pump after engine is warm. Base on the NHTSA id 10133645 - Toyota technical service bulleting t-sb-0316-17. Because of the safety hazard involve in the probably defective part, and because of my medical condition at the time of the Toyota service bulleting I could not take the vehicle for the technical service bulleting to DE Toyota dealer until 11/18/2019 ( after the applicable warranty of 36 months or 36,000 miles - customer number 192461 at adriel auto in rio grande puerto rico. There the vehicle was inspected by a technician # 443901. At the moment of the inspection the technician did not found the condition that I was concern about. I was told that that knocking sound from the vacuum pump was normal. That I should not to be worry about it. Because of my medical condition and treatment. I was not able to follow up my complaint at Toyota DE puerto rico. Now that I am feeling a little bit better I am reporting this to you with the hope that a solution be found. I have never own a vehicle from any manufacturer that had such a knocking sound from the vacuum pump. I am concern about my safety and the safety of others if my brake system fails and someone gets injure or kill. It is my perception that the knocking noise from the vacuum pump is a safety hazard and that Toyota corporation must replace the defective part. My vehicle have only 10,000 miles because of my illness and also because I do not feel safe driving it. I know I am a bit late to report this condition on my vehicle and that the warranty period have expire. But the problem persist, as a remedy I am requesting that all of the Toyota vehicles that present this knocking noise from vacuum pump should be recall an repair under an extended warranty. Thank you.

Parking brake sleeve broke at rear wheels causing the cable to seize in the sleeve and making the rear wheels lockup or parking brake to fail.

Was approaching a red traffic signal, coasting in case the light turned green before the need to stop. Light was still red, so I stepped lightly on the brake pedal. The was no sign of braking. I then increased pressure on the pedal, with no braking action. Surprised and concerned, I then set my left foot on the brake pedal and pushed with all I had with both feet, but there was no braking action that I could feel. The truck stopped as it bumped the vehicle in front of me. Engine speed was normal when the event began, and when the event ended. I did hear a relatively minor increase in engine speed during the event. The brakes worked properly before and after the event. One additional note. For years I have noticed a few times per year a momentary increase in engine speed immediately after stopping at a traffic signal. You never know when it will happen. The speed increase is greater that an a/c speed pickup, but lasts only briefly, then returns to idle. I keep my foot on the brake pedal with enough pressure that the truck does not move forward. Had truck towed to dealer following the incident. Dealer found nothing wrong. They spoke with Toyota reps and were told Toyota was unaware of any problem. Unable to trust the truck and having been advised that Ford had similar brake failures in the past caused by abs brake actuator, I paid the dealer to replace the actuator. After spending more than $1200 for repair, I still do not know if the brakes will fail again. A brief internet search indicates to me that this was not a loan, random event as indicated by Toyota reps. The consequences of brake failure are serious. The dealer did provide me with the original actuator that was removed from the truck during the repair work. I will provide the original actuator for any legitimate agency to check it out if that could be helpful.

The brakes on my 2008 Toyota Tacoma pickup are very scary. Several times, when just beginning to drive forward from a stop, I have had to slam on the brakes because of an unexpected vehicle or pedestrian. The vehicle stopped, but the brake pedal slowly went to the floor. This made me think the brakes had failed because of a sudden loss of brake fluid. Which was never the case, but very frightening. Also, the anti lock brakes engage even at very low speeds when not expected, for example on gravel, and often when there is no reason they should engage. Almost always when the roadway is dry. Often when slowly coming to a stop at a stop sign. Additionally, when applying the brakes for a sudden deceleration at highway speeds, excessive braking pressure is required. And very scary.

Brakes failed causing a crash. The vehicle was totaled.

On two occasions the brakes have failed in wet conditions. The first occurred when going through standing water of about 5" under normal temperature. The second occurred after going through a car wash in temperature of 39 degrees. After going through the car was I was traveling about 5 mph through a parking lot to park in front of a convenience store, the truck stuck the curb, and nearly struck propane tanks stored in front of store. After drying the vehicle and waiting about 15 minutes I proceeded to the intersection in front of business and brakes failed again.

Dt:total brake failure. While driving in parking lot at low speed hit brakes and brake pedal went to floor. Vehicle finally stopped after being steered on concrete abutment. Did not have any property damages or accident, but there was brake failure. Had towed vehicle to dealership where he purchased vehicle. Dealer tested it, and could not duplicate the total brake failure, but did note that the brake pressure was weak, and the pedal had to be put to the floor to stop. Because they were unable to duplicate total brake failure they could not repair.
