I was driving home in my 2003 Toyota 4Runner and just got off the freeway then a few miles later reached my destination and pulled into a parking lot when a beeping sound and the ABS TRAC and VSC lights went off on the dash. I parked the car and did not know what the issue was and just figured it was a sensor and just left it for the night. I went on the internet to see if anyone else has had this happen to them and found that several people have had the same issue. There were various comments with some saying this is a serious issue and these vehicles should be recalled.

The next morning I checked the brake fluid and it looked normal, so I thought I would drive it over to the nearest auto parts to see if they could connect their computer to it to see what codes came up. I started to back out of the parking stall and realized that I had no brakes and immediately pulled back into the parking stall. I called for a tow truck and had it towed to a local Toyota dealership. They diagnosed the problem to the "Brake Booster Pump" and the cost to repair would be$3,500. I told them that this was unsafe and in my opinion is a manufacture defect and should have been recalled and repaired by Toyota. The dealership offered a few hundred dollars of the repair to help my out but beyond that I should contact Toyota Corporate. I contacted corporate and they told me that it was out of warranty and there was nothing they could do.

This is a serious issue and needs to be corrected by Toyota, for anyone that owns these vehicles be aware that your brakes could fail if you hear the beeping sound and ABS/VSC TRAC lights go off on the dash.

I was driving on the freeway in rush hour traffic when the cars in front of me began to stop. I tried to stop and the brake peddle went all the way to the floor and I was not able to stop in time. I hit the car in front of me which then hit the car in front of them, ultimately pushing him into a truck. The master cylinder brake system failed. Two cars were totaled and mine is pretty damaged as well. I am reading about many other complaints just like mine.

Why has Toyota not recalled one of the MOST important safety features on a vehicle? This was an extremely scary situation and could have been fatal. What will it take to get Toyota to recall this severe issue to the brake system? I am looking into filing a class action lawsuit against Toyota. Please do something about this issue.

While driving at approximately 30 mph on a city street, with my little girl in the vehicle, brakes failed and loud cabin alarm sounded and ABS, VSC and TRAC dash lights came on. We were close to home so we got it there into the garage by applying the emergency brake and using the shifter in order to stop and avoid crashing. Had vehicle towed to dealership twice as they said they fixed it after only having it 30 minutes and said the accumulator pump was blocked up. Came home, drove it twice and the one week later all the bells and whistles go off again. Had it towed once again and now being told that it will cost us $4000 to fix. Very odd, Toyota goes from a thirty-minute charge and fix to a three-day process because they have to order part and cost us $4000. Supposedly the ABS pump brake master cylinder is bad and has to be replaced. I have read 1000s of posts and threads in blogs from Toyota owners with similar issue, and some that caused accidents. I had just come off the highway, so this could have caused a serious accident just minutes earlier. This seems to be a very common occurrence and Toyota is very aware of the situation but no recall. THIS situation Merits an investigation by TOYOTA and a recall should be awarded before human life is lost in an accident. They should also find a better less expensive fix. Generations of my family have put our faith into Toyota vehicles and to be screwed like this is just not fair. The economy bailed car dealerships out when they were going under and they can't do the right thing taking ownership of this known issue. Will analyze my options when buying another TOYOTA.
