Brake pedal went to floor. Brakes had worked fine when vehicle was parked. When I started the vehicle, there was no warning light on dash, no indication that brake booster assembly (Toyota part number 470500c03) had failed or was failing. Vehicle was towed to dealership and showed diagnostic codes c0200,215 and 1223. Dealer confirmed no warning lights to indicate this catastrophic brake failure. Under different traffic or driving conditions, this could have been a serious or fatal event. This vehicle has been serviced only by the Toyota dealership where it was purchased new, at every recommended interval, and never missed any scheduled maintenance. I contacted Toyota customer service today at 800-331-4331 (ref #[xxx])and was told they had no record of similar complaints. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the brakes faiedl when he depressed the brakes. The pedal goes all the way way to the floor. The brakes failed a couple times. The last time he hit a deer and damaged his vehicle because the brakes would not stop the vehicle. He has taken the vehicle to the dealer numerous times but they cannot duplicate the failure. He finally contacted the Toyota manufacturer and they stated that is the way the brakes should be operating. The failure mileage was 42,000. The VIN was unavailable.
