    I have been to a Toyota dealer they inspected the car, I received a written report. read on >>>>>>>

    This letter is to confirm that your vehicle Reg number *** which you have presented to us for inspection of the braking system.
    The concern you have with the vehicle is that the brake pedal is traveling to the floor when stationary. [U]This is normal [/U]operation for power assist vehicles as long as the vehicle is not moving forward or backward when brakes are applied.
    As you have indicated when driving and appying the brakes the system extremely efficient as it almost throws you out of the seat, whilst you were here there was another vehicle to compare with, which was the same.
    .................................................. .................................................. ..................................

    So there you have it straight from the horses mouth, I can't say that I am totally convinced it is acceptable that a pedal goes to the floor under any circumstances, they did say that it was a common complaint they get from customers. My question is why would a company manufacture the perfect braking system that leaves so many people thinking it is faulty ....just doesnt add up to me.
    I intend sharing my findings with Toyota head office, maybe they can convince me that I am imagining a change in my Prado braking system after 94,000 k's

                          Power assisted brakes my arse. Pull the fuses to the DAT systems and see if it still does it. My prado does not do this at all and I own an MY05 Prado.

                              Driver Assist Technology. If you pull the ABS fuse, it will disable all the power assist for the brakes and work like conventional brakes. If the pedal still goes to the floor even with all the electronic gizmos disabled, then it's not the "power assist" causing your problem.
