File date	27/06/19
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Car was in motion and brake pedal went half way to floor and abs, brake, traction control and tire sensor lights came on. Master cylinder or brake booster seem to have failed. Dealer didn't recognize codes and could only recommend changing spark plugs when i just had them replace 6-8 months prior. Explained that did think that had anything to do with brakes giving out. They reset codes and sure enough happened again within the next 30 days. Toyota admitted to since receiving many reports of certain internal malfunctions of brake booster assemblies. 4 trips later to dealer the response is the codes are not coming up (dtcs) c1391, c1252, c1256 or c1253 in order to be covered it's voluntary customer support program which has brake booster and brake booster pump coverage. Very frustrating!
