"Spongy break pedal and brake pedal slowly sank toward the floor"
Anonymous A., TX (2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 3.5-L V6)"Vibration felt like warped rotors - occurred within 1st year of vehicle purchase, the dealer "turned" the rotors and bled the brakes. it helped for a bit but pedal was lower and the problem returns. I personally replaced the pad/shoes and rotors and drums. Stopping was better but the pedal still faded. I had the master cylinder replaced which appears to have resolved most of the problem. There may still be an issue with the vacuum assist."
