Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function. Leaks can occur in the brake lines, master cylinder, or wheel cylinders, leading to a loss of braking efficiency.

Brake pads and rotors wear

Over time, brake pads and rotors can wear out, leading to reduced braking performance and the need for replacement.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder is crucial for converting pedal pressure into hydraulic pressure. Failure can result in a spongy brake pedal and reduced braking power.

Brake caliper issues

Brake calipers can seize or leak, affecting the ability to apply the brakes effectively and causing uneven wear on the brake pads.

Abs sensor malfunction

The Antilock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail or become dirty, leading to the ABS warning light coming on and reduced braking performance.

Vacuum booster problems

The brake booster uses engine vacuum to assist in braking. A failure can result in a hard brake pedal, making it difficult to stop the vehicle.

Brake light switch failure

The brake light switch can fail, preventing the brake lights from illuminating when the brake pedal is pressed.

Brake line corrosion

Over time, brake lines can corrode, especially in areas with harsh winters. This can lead to leaks and brake failure.

Engine misfire

The 5VZ-FE engine in the Toyota Tacoma can experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
