NO. 1001130208 FILED WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 1/21/10 ) ----PROGRAM IS IN PLACE FOR 1995 - 2005 TRUCKS WITH SAME PROBLEM.

WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM WORK I WENT TO USE THE BRAKES, THERE WERE NO BRAKES AS THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE I FOUND A METAL BRAKE LINE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ASSEMBLED SO AS IT MADE DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE METAL FUEL PRESSURE RETURN LINE. THE TWO LINES SUBSEQUENTLY WORE A GROOVE IN EACH OTHER WITH THE BRAKE LINE WEARING THROUGH THUS LETTING ALL THE APPLIED BRAKING PRESSURE TO ESCAPE FROM THE WORN HOLE IN THE LINE. I WAS AN ASE CERTIIFIED AUTO TECHNICIAN FOR MANY YEARS IN MY LIFE AND IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL DIAGNOSIS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ASSEMBLED THIS WAY FROM THE FACTORY. THE FUEL PRESSURE RETURN LINE SHOWS SEVERE WEAR AND COULD PROVE TO BE A FIRE HAZARD IF IT RUPTURES. *AK

16 of 16 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
