    At about 28000 miles, without warning the brake pedal went almost to the floor during a routine stop. The brake pedal has been soft like that ever since. The dealer said that it might be fixed by a brake fluid flush and replace. I had ithat done at the dealer and if anything, it's slightly worse. Apparently the mechanic told the service writer that it's just a flaw in the vehicle andnot a fluid change or anything…

Truck was taken…

    1) the guy who complained about the brake pedal being too close to the gas pedal is right. My foot gets caught under the brake pedal when i'm trying to take my foot off the gas and go for the brakes. I guess i'm still used to my '99 4runner. He also complained that the brake pedal depresses so far that he sometimes also hits the gas. He's right on that too. The dealer says for some reason after a while the brake…

    Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). I have experienced on multiple occasions, upon breaking, having sudden unexpected acceleration. This occurs when i am braking for a stop on city streets, stopping in traffic, stopping in a driveway. I suggest the cause is the proximity of the break pedal to the accelerator pedal. When the brake is depressed, the level of the…
