In motion, from street turning into store parking lot, brakes faded completely to the floor. Lifted off and applied pedal to stop. No leaks, plenty of fluid. I will check with another dealer. There are quite a few cases of this on the t4r forums. Dealers can not duplicate. This is very dangerous to not have an answer for. Opinions are electrical antilock issues.? (there is no air in lines, no leaks and no codes)

Vehicle bought new 8/2017. Has approx. 7,000mles. This is the 3rd or 4th similar incident but the most severe. Driving on i-95, approx. 60 mpr, today, when i applied the brakes they seemed to lock and although my first thought was that the car also accelerated it may have been only my expectation of slowing down and that wasn't happening. The brake pedal only seemed to compress about 2-3". Luckily i was able to pull…

Other toyota 4runner owners have also…

This is extremely dangerous vehicle when the brakes are applied with hard force at speeds at around 35 mph or higher. Luckily i am a very experienced driver and car handler and was able to react quick enough to control the vehicle one time…

I pulled up to a stop light and applied the brakes. I stopped but while i was sitting with the brakes applied, my 4runner started rolling forward. I had to push the brake peddle to the floor to a point i could barely reach to get it to stop again. I took it to the dealership and they agreed the brakes were not acting right. They could see on the computer that something was wrong as well. They said i would need a new…

Re: complaint 11043597. Experienced complete loss of brakes. No warning light. Brakes were reset? After vehicle arrived at dealer. Ecu did not download any warning codes. Based on this, toyota will not repair/replace corresponding brake components and want me to drive the car. This was a complete brake loss with pedal to the floor and no brakes. Used parking brake and transmission to stop car. Checking the net,…

Brake failure. Approaching 4 way stop. Went to apply brakes, heard-felt a pop and pedal went to floor and lost all braking power. This is a new vehicle. Had to use parking brake and transmission to slow to stop. Fortunately only going 30mph........still rolled into center of 4 way intersection. Thank god no cars in front of me or there would have been an accident.
