Problems with 2004 Toyota Tundra SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

2004 toyota tundra with 44000 miles has developed a brake problem. air repeatedly gets into the brake lines with no loss of fluid causing the brake pedal to go to the floor when braking. the tundra has been at the dealer for four months trying to be repaired, the toyota rep has visited on five separate occasions, called the factory engineers and it is still not fixed! repairs cost to date are over $3500, toyota picked up $2,000 leaving me out of pocket $1500+ and a truck that has a defective braking system that must be bled every 75 miles to remain drivable. this problem started in mid january 2008. *tr

Front disc brake rotors subject to repeated warping causing front wheel to vibrate when braking and making the vehicle hard to control. *tr

My abs brake system light comes on under conditions of cold (around freezing) and damp weather. once the vehicle has warmed up the light goes off, but the ats doesn't work until that happens. toyota refuses to address the issue. they claim no one has filed a complaint. the truck is under warranty and they will not replace any parts. *nm

i have a 04 double cab toyota tundra. wife was driving and trying to stop .when she pressed the brake pedal truck kept on rolling and smashed into the car in front of her. an inspection was done on my truck and they said nothing was wrong but it was totaled by the body shop so there was nothing to change or fix. i've been looking at a web site called tundra solutions and there is more people with this same braking problem or brake fade as the call it. please feel free to call me to get more info. *nm

1) normal everyday driving. 2)front rotars warped and rear drums warped caused erratic stoping ability and vibration. 3)recut rotars and drums. new pads in front. problem is back after about 500 miles.

While drivingthe vehicle skidded into the right lane. driver applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor. driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and took vehicle to the dealer for inspection. however, mechanic insisted that the problem could not be duplicated. *ak

Vehicle is experiencing brake failure. while driving down hill in light snow the vehicle was picking up speed as the brakes were applied. took the vehicle into the dealership, and was told that this was the normal function of the brakes, and everything was working correctly. *ak

The brakes on my 2004 toyota tundra double-cab do not work properly (and never have). when you press on the brake pedal, the brakes make a loud noise (not the typical anti-lock brake noise) and do not stop effectively. i've almost ran into cars in front of me. i took it to stevinson toyota, but they said the brakes were fine. they weren't. i took it pep boys and they replaced the pads & turned the rotors. it is better, but still bad. i think i'll get rid of the truck. someone is going to get hurt with this brake situation on the truck model. *tr
