| On sunday, july 25, 2004, i was pulling from a driveway to a tar road and when applying my brakes the vehicle did not slow down and made a very loud ticking noise in the rear of the car. i assumed it was my abs system making the noise. i was not going more than 2 miles an hour and was able to just accelerate and go on my way. i used the brakes in my vehicle at least 5-10 times on my way home. i pulled in my driveway and parked my vehicle. approximately 6 hours later, my husband got into the vehicle to move it in the driveway about 10 yards forward. i was in the house. in the house i heard that very same ticking noise and then a loud noise and i knew that my husband had crashed my car. the brake pedal went right to the floor and the car smashed thru our garage. i got into the vehicle and pressed the brake pedal and it again went right to the floor. i called my toyota dealership the next morning and they agreed to come pick it up. before the car left the yard my father in -law came over and watched the brake pedal go to the floor. toyota can find nothing wrong with my vehicle and want me to take it back and drive it. i will not drive that vehicle unless they can tell me what happened. i have 4 other witnesses who heard the ticking noise in the car before it hit our garage. there is something wrong and i need some help. i have asked toyotaa for another vehicle and they refuse. my car has 4000 miles on it. i believe it is unsafe and could pose danger to other owners.*ak | |||

| When stepping on brakes, pedal vibrates and gets very soft. vehicles stopping distance is marginal at best. rotors have been cut already with just 13k on the vehicles due to rust build up.boch toyota in norwood mass. tells me that the brake issue is normal !! there is also a loud whining noise when applying the brakes. they tell me this is normal also ! also, the tires had to be rebalanced at 13k as i was told they where cupping. sounds like there is a front end issue with the 2004 4-runner.*ak | |||

| When coming to a stop & braking, car accelerated forward. this caused me to have an accident with much damage to the front of my car. this caused me to hit the building in front of me with extensive damage to the building. it was amazing part of the building did not fall down on the top of my car which would have caused me serious injury.*ak | |||

| Break pedal vibrates every other time it is pressed down. it makes no difference how hard you press. it goes away after few seconds. it is not an abs related vibration. *la | |||
