Tundra 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 81,500 miles
While driving down a gravel road the brake pedal went to the floor. I was able to slow the truck down by using the emergency brake pedal and shifting down. I took the truck to my local mechanic who replaced one of the brake lines at the rear brake valve but told me there was major rust and to see the dealer. I went to the Toyota dealer in bristol Tennessee and talked with them about the rust condition. They said the truck could not be repaired and they would consider a trade in but the truck would then be sold for salvage. They gave me $4,000 for the truck and I purchased a used Tacoma.updated 10/21/09. Updated 10/20/09
