Re: No Brakes
Have you tried Toyota? They shuold recover the vehicle at their expense.
I wouldnt be driving it anywhere without brakes, you will be liable in an accident situation.
Is there fluid, is there a leak, need more info before anyone can offer advice.
I would suggest contacting the Toyota help line. -
Re: No Brakes
As per TP's advice - call roadside assist and get them to tow it, or call Toyota. Don't risk it.Black 2003, TD, GXL Prado

Re: No Brakes
Tried Toyota, not much help, on phone for an hour, I've had this vehicle for a month and they have no record of the vehicle on there system, and now I've been told I don't have Toyota roadside assist as this was an extra expence. I have now got to find my own way to Toyota hopping NRMA will assist on Monday.Comment

Re: No Brakes
Up date on brake issue, Toyota couldn't find what the problem was, send and replaced brand new Master cylinder and Brake actuator, wanted old one back ASAP. I suppose I'll never now what the problem was. Still very anoid with lack of help from Toyota without a vehicle for a week, had to find own way to go and pick the Prado up out of pocket with expenses, lost interest in the vehicle for a bit, why I haven't updated post, getting back ino it, nice vehicle otherwise.Comment
