I was driving home from the dr. S and noticed that the brake pedal was making this loud noise and the pedal went almost to the floor but it had a crunchy noise and I knew that the brakes were not the same when I left my house. I pulled over and got out and noticed that the brake fluid was low and I had to go buy dot 3 and put it in the master cylinder. I kept driving it until I could find out what it was an was told that I needed a brake booster, but the car only has 87,546 mile's on it.

It is silver/platinum-metallic color and etc. Dmv employee per today's visit 9/27/2018 refusing to give me a paperwork or to cooperate with the state rules to the true id of the ownership(tangible ownership-I paid cash for my car in 2001). She (woman-worker)told me at dmv office redwood city,ca 94063 appointment # b0039, approx window 9 service time2:40pm; that dmv will not change nor update nor to correct records - but the wrongful entry into dmv records makes property owner to suffer with the id cases through law enforcement agencies and other re departments of USA. It affects my personal holdings value and my own financial stability and personal safety - recalls for 2000 are different to recalls of 2001-due to major updates and improvements to the subject car with the approval of judicial court system in 2001 and later. Currently my vehicle is stationed, I am searching for the true answers of the title on my car. How to prove police department and other agencies - police/lot securities that my car has been taking care of and free of any payments. I am afraid for my life due to scrutany of employees of dmv -san mateo county, city of redwood city. By the way my car records are in santa clara county and even some attachments in santa cruz county-state of california.

Symptoms: 1. Rear lights off warning comes on the dashboard 2. Check warning light comes on with code 1780. (neutral switch on the automatic transmission has a problem) 3. No brake lights or reverse light on in the trunk area only when applying the brakes. 4. Brakes vibrate when slowing down around 10mph to stop like your tires are riding a very rough surfaces. 5. Reverse light comes on in the shift gear indicator when applying brakes to shift from park position. Initial attempt to fix this problem: changing the reverse light bulbs and brake light bulbs, but problems continue to remain as describe in the symptoms. 2nd attempt by mike gerber from website www:\\automotiveforums.com. He reported there is a loose wires connection or frayed wires at the hinge of the trunk on the driver side. After careful inspection on the wire harness at the hinge connection of the trunk, discovered at least one wire that was about the break off from opening and closing the trunk of the car for many years. After fixing these wires, all the symptoms were resolved. Amazing!!! Couldn't have solved this problem so fast without the reading the article from mike gerber. Thanks!!!!! Reason from writing this compliant: toyota manufacture should recall all these vehicles with this compliant without any charges to their owners..... This is a safety issue because it affected the performance of the braking system causing a vibration everytimes you apply the brakes like the ABS system is activated. In addition, the brake lights aren't working correctly even after changing all the bulbs in the trunk area.
