    Prado brake pedal

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Prado Toyota Prado Advice Toyota Landcruiser Prado 2009
    ...
    The brake pedal on my 2009 Toyota Prado feels like it reaches the floor and needs to be pumped to stop the car quickly. They may be adequate in most situations, but pulling up quickly going downhill or when towing needs to be done carefully. I have reported the problem to the dealer since it was new, but they have told me they are fine, but have been bled and adjusted every time. Is this is an issue with other Prados? Can I get independent check to verify any issue? If I upgrade the brakes myself it may void warranty.

    It's not something that has been reported to us here at Carsguide, so it would seem it's not an issue that is worrying other owners. I would suggest you find another owner of a similar car and ask about their experience, and drive their car if they would let you. That way you would have an idea if it's just your car or is more widespread. I would also suggest you consult a brake expert, one that could assess your brakes and give you a report you could use if you want to pursue it with Toyota. Contact the RTA and ask for a list of their accredited engineers and go to one of them. I wouldn't be upgrading the brakes yet, as you say it would possibly impact your warranty, and in any case it's something Toyota should do if indeed there is a problem.
