Brake pedal goes to floor. At stoplight pedal goes to floor and will not hold vehicle. Told it was a master cylinder. This is a $1500+ job. Dealer told me this never fails but out of warranty so their defect is my loss. *tr

The 4runner pulls to one side and does not stop as quickly as it should. The pistons in both front calipers have frozen up to some extent. I have checked many forums on the 4th gen 4runners and many people have had the same problem. I went to the dealer why my car was under warranty and they said that it wan not a problem and it would not be covered. I purchased remanufactured calipers and had them installed and…

My 2006 toyota 4runner brakes have failed when hitting an uneven surface- ie- pole. When the brake pedal was depressed, the pedal went all the way to the floor and released. The wheel spun freely without control. The brake did not activate. *jb

I had a 2006 toyota 4 runner, limited. The brake system never was right and that is why we got rid of the car. At a light, car would continue to inch forward. I complained to the dealer several times and when it lurched forward when stopped in a school zone this past spring, we immediately got rid of it, since the dealer kept telling me nothing was wrong. *tr

Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip · Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Anti-lock brakes too sensitive. Under certain conditions, especially if i hit a bump while braking or if the road is wet, the abs kicks in and the vehicle loses braking power (while brake calipers oscillate violently) thereby drastically increasing the stopping distance. I've recently experienced the vehicle stopping from 35 mph in over 200 feet. I wound up in the middle of the intersection. This problem has become…

Abs system failure: 2006 toyota 4-runner limited. In feb. 2009, i was driving on slippery road conditions, the abs system failed, my brakes locked, and the car sped up instead of slowing. I couldn't get the car to stop. Instead of hitting the line of cars in front of me i veered off the road through a snow bank. The car eventually stopped after traveling another ~100ft through 8" of snow. There were no injuries and…

We own a 2006 toyota 4runner - during the first year we took it in three times and told them that when we are at a stop the suv would shift fwd while still applying the brake. We took it back again the 2nd year, still with the same complaint. Each time they had no answer as to what the problem was cause they could never get the problem to repeat. To date the suv still does it and would say at least once every two…

Starting at this date: its happened 4 times since while driving when needing to apply my brakes suddenly. I apply the brakes, medium hard tension, opposed to jamming on the brakes, then momentarily let off brakes and then taped brakes to more gently ease off the situation. The car then bucks violently as if hitting something. Extremely shocking. One time i had a passenger and as she was shocked too, asked me what i…
