2019 Toyota Tacoma service brakes problems

“The brakes failed, out of nowhere, no codes and no warning. The vehicle was taken to lithia Toyota of [XXX] on XXX for inspection and they say they couldn’t recreate the issue. 5 days later the vehicle was taken to Grants Pass Toyota and they have isolated the issue to be a faulty master cylinder. My safety and everyone on the road was at risk because one dealership failed to correctly inspect and diagnose the issue, all documentation is available. The issue was reproduced by Grants pass Toyota in less than 5 minutes of arrival to their service department. The master cylinder for like vehicles were recalled and mine was manufactured within 4 months of those models that fell into the J16/J06 recall. The exact symptoms that my vehicle experienced. However, my vin was not included in that recall.”

“Brake Master cylinder. The brakes lose all pressure and do not stop the truck all of a sudden. This is an open recall on many of these trucks but apparently my specific truck isn’t included in this. Because it just happened we are looking for the parts to fix this. Although it’s to the tune of over $1,000. There are no warnings, no lights nothing. Just went to pull out of my driveway and have no brakes. Although the pads are brand new and professionally installed.”

“Brake pedal started sinking to the floor. Inspected and no fluid leaks present. If brake pedal is pumped, it will build pressure. Then the check brake system light comes on. That is a sign of brake master cylinder failure.”

“I have the exact same issues as the big recall done with the Toyotas for the brake master cylinder. My Tacoma is leaking brake fluid from the inside of the cabin! I contacted Toyota showed the pictures and evidence, I have the exact same issue as all the other trucks with the recall, Toyota refused to help me fix my truck, even tho everything is exactly the same. They argued that because the date my truck was assembled is why they wouldn’t help. They cannot track which parts are used for which dates! It’s not fair, they know this is a huge problem which is why they had a large recall for the Tacomas. My truck barely had 55k miles on it, I shouldn’t be having brake master cylinder issues at this mileage, it’s a 2019, it’s way too new for these problems! This should be covered under the recall. It’s a faulty seal from the inside of the brake master cylinder. Toyota refuses to help or fix it. This is a severe safety issue and concern, I could have crashed or killed myself. My warranty just expired in December. This master cylinder is only made by Toyota and it’s a $1600 part. This should all be covered by Toyota under the recall for safety! This is now going to…”

“Brakes pedal inside car was dripping brake fluid and there was a loss of power when breaking.

There was no warning lamp or messages of the problem prior to brakes having loss of power when breaking and fluid dripping from brake pedal inside of vehicle.”
