    Toyota Prado 2005: Soft brakes

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Prado Toyota Prado Advice Toyota Landcruiser Prado 2005
    The brake pedal in my 2005 Toyota Prado feels soft to me, such that I am not confident that they will do the job in an emergency when I'm towing my caravan. My Toyota dealer declared it was ok after testing it, but the problem persists. I can't believe it's right, as the dealer said.

    We have been told that some softness is a characteristic of the Prado, and despite this uncertain feeling the brakes do work and stop the car effectively. We have also been told that there is an issue with the brake master cylinder and Toyota has been replacing them under warranty. I would suggest you quiz your dealer about the master cylinder issue and request that he checks yours.
