What owners wrote
A some times low brake pedal, never takes hold at the same hight. Some times as high as just a 1/2 inch. The next time below the throtle by an inch. I have hit a pick up in the rear and a boulder. The dealer told me this is normal. Who do I belive.
I own a 2009 toyota tacoma pre runner double cab. The brakes are very soft and become softer when driven. They only catch when pushed all the way to the floor. I'm very cautious when I drive the vehicle, spending most of my time judging distance. I'm afraid this method used to operate this vehicle will fail me soon.
