Stepping on the break sometimes I have a good firm brake pedal others seem to go almost to the floor. Talking with a mechanic he had told me that there was numerous Toyota tacomas with the same issue. I have tried bleeding the brakes and still have the same symptoms I would think this would be a safety issue.

While driving 70 mph on the interstate, my drivers side brake line completely broke off. This was due to excessive rust. The truck is only 8 years old. The truck frame had been sprayed with the anti rust coating by Toyota a year prior. The brake line was not covered in the Toyota frame rust recall. This is a very serious condition and I had no prior indications that the brake line was faulty.
