Your truck's brakes pulsate like warped rotors when descending hills at speed, forcing you to reduce braking pressure to prevent overheating—a safety concern your dealer says they can't find. Additionally, your truck has never met EPA fuel economy ratings since new, and you're concerned the engine may experience the same bearing failure that affected 2022-2023 models and triggered recalls. Resolving the brake issue may require rotor replacement or brake system inspection, while the engine concern would require diagnostic testing or replacement under warranty.

Your brake pedal went all the way to the floor when you pressed it while driving, and your truck didn't stop right away—you heard an abnormal sound but no warning light came on. The dealer said your front brakes needed replacement, but the parts were backordered and the problem happened again before they could fix it. Getting the front brakes replaced should resolve this issue.

Your truck's brakes are behaving unpredictably. When braking at 30 mph, your rear end swerves side to side and the rear wheels periodically lock up, causing the truck to skip and bounce. At highway speeds (65 mph), the brake pedal sometimes sinks all the way to the floor before the brakes engage effectively. No warning lights appear, and the dealer has been unable to reproduce or diagnose the problem after multiple visits. The issue likely involves the brake system's anti-lock braking (ABS) or pressure distribution components that may need inspection, testing, or replacement.

Filed: Oct 2025

Your truck's brakes are engaging on their own even when nothing is in front of you, and the forward collision warning system activates in rain without any obstacles present. You've also noticed the engine hesitates when coming to a stop at traffic lights, and your panoramic roof leaks during rain — the dealer has been unable to reproduce these issues despite multiple visits and your video evidence.

Your truck's brakes squeak, and you've reported this to the dealer and Toyota's corporate office multiple times over the past year without resolution. Toyota has acknowledged it's a known issue but says replacement parts aren't available. You're concerned about your safety since this involves the braking system. Fixing this will likely require replacing brake components once parts become available.
