2007 tacoma 4x4 4 door trd. Driver approached red light attempted to step on brakes to stop and they did not work. Driver ran through red light and noticed black smoke from engine compartment, then flames. Took about a mile, while the engine was on fire, to stop the vehicle by downshifting and e-brake. Had no prior brake problems with vehicle. Insurance is doing investigation at this time. Fire department advised the heaviest fire damage was located near the brake line and master cylinder area.
I own a 2007 toyota tacoma double cab 4x4 pick-up truck . I have been experiencing the following situation : when stopped in traffic my foot on the brake with either the heater , fan , or AC on ( one of these components on ) the engine will periodically surge and you can feel the truck want to move forward . It sometimes feels like someone tapped me from behind. My foot on the brake pedal stops the truck from moving forward. This only occurs when one of the above mentioned components is being used.
