DOES YOUR PRADO BRAKE PEDAL DO THIS?

[Mick015 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Mick015]

Push with a very firm pressure on the brake pedal while the engine is running and the pedal slowly sinks to the floor almost.
I must state that in day to day driving my vehicle stops ok and you do not normally notice it.

After taking it twice back to the Toyota dealer they now tell me "THAT'S NORMAL in Prados". I would leave until they let me try some other Prado's................... DAM'N THEY DID IT ALSO!!!!!!

ANYONE ELSE have a similar problem?

You may say well I will never push my brakes that hard. Well believe me I have when doing some rock crawling on a steep descent. You will really need to lean on that pedal as you are easing over the rocks. The brake pedal slowly goes down to a stage you have trouble almost reaching it and you start to panic that you are about to lose all braking.

I did the brakes on my prado late last year and seriously almost gave up on the sinking pedal… after over an hour of bleeding the brake pedal came good and is now perfect!
Others I spoke to with Proudo's said they had all had problems with the same thing! Just my two cents...….

It's not directly what my brakes response but when I press the brakes for my 09 120 4.0 the idle speed drops from 7500 to about 5000 and stays there. This was after the battery was changed. The throttle body was cleaned also.. Please Help..
