I live in Utah, The incident occurred in San Francisco with children in car. going down one of the steeper roads towards fisherman wharf. the ABS alarm went off and I lost all breaking power. I immediately downshifted(automatic trans), used the emergency break almost killed some pedestrians.. pulled over. I checked all fuses, breaks. etc. I did not have any money, so as nightfall came upon us, with ABS glaring in our ears. I drove through the night back to Utah when the traffic was the lowest and used the emergency break all the way home, it was a horrific experience. The repair on this was not cheep where I had the ABS/brakes fixed so the breaks would work at our local dealer where I live, This was about 8-10 years ago, I am still pretty upset someone cold have been killed, why would the breaks fail if the ABS fails.. this could have killed my family and/or someone else. I would have to check with Menlove Bountiful Toyota for an exact date of repair.

I was in a drive thru and as I approached the car in front of me, I pressed my brake pedal and had zero resistance as my pedal went to the floorboard and zero response from brakes. As I depressed pedal, my ABS light went on the dashboard and a beep alarmed. I tried hitting the pedal again to no avail and turned to attempt to miss the vehicle and pulled my emergency brake. I was moving at a low rate of speed and had zero history of brake system issues. After some homework online, I am seeing it is in line with a lot of other people's experiences with the same make and model having an ABS motor failure, booster motor failure, and/or an accumulator failure.

While driving at approximately 30 MPH, the "brake" warning light illuminated along with the high pitch audible brake failure alarm. Approximately 1,000 - 2,000 feet later all brake function ceased entirely, only by applying parking brake and placing the vehicle in neutral was stopping possible. There were no injuries or property damage. Popping hood to look for signs of fluid leak, etc, we noticed that the brake fluid in the reservoir was over filled significantly - it had not been earlier and the brakes had recently been serviced. A cursory search of "land cruiser brake failure" online yielded numerous reports on toyota message boards of identical situations: brake light and alarm, total loss of braking power within moments, owners finding that the failure resulted in fluid returning to the reservoir overfilling it. There appear to be no fluid leaks or brake line failures. In addition to the brake warning lights, all of the traction control, anti-skid, and ABS warning lights are now illuminated - I understand that each are also powered by the brake system. We have not yet had our vehicle inspected by a mechanic, in most of the situations identical to ours we found online, the cause was the failure of the brake booster motor. We understand that all components may fail eventually. However, in our situation, there was insufficient warning of imminent brake failure. Had the vehicle been on a highway or a windy mountain road the results could have been catastrophic. Finally, we strongly urge you to cross-check this situation with other toyota suvs and trucks from 1995 - 2006 as in our initial research online these incidents seemed common to toyota vehicles model years spanning a long period.

I was driving home on 7/15/18 and as I was pulling into my garage a loud noise started buzzing from my dashboard and my brake light, ABS, and vsc lights all came on at once. My brakes had completely failed without any warning. The pedal went right to the floor when I pressed it and it would not stop the vehicle. I almost went right through the other side of my brick garage. Luckily the emergency brake allowed me to stop before this happened. I had just gotten off the highway traveling at 70 MPH. I cannot imagine if the brakes completely failed at this speed. I have owned this vehicle for 17 years and I had never had a dash light or sound come on. There should have been more of a warning! Brakes should not just completely fail without any incident or warning. I have seen a few other posts about this happening for other land cruiser owners and toyota needs to be held accountable. This is a major safety issue and it should never have happened on the king of SUV's.

While driving in the mountains of west virginia. Alarm sound, flashing lights and brake pedal unresponsive. Had to use emergency brake to stop vehicle.

The truck had recently been inspected sept 2, 2016 and also had the rear brake pads replaced at charles barker toyota in virginia beach virginia. The odometer reading was 65,121. The service manager did state it was not common practice to bleed the brake lines although I did find several sites on line that said this should be done. I am retired and drive very little. After a 400 miles road trip to west virginia this happened. I feel lucky to be alive and fortunate that this occurred in a flat stretch of road. $3229.92 later after replacing the ABS system we were able to return home. Paper work available on request.

As I was driving, the vehicle's ABS, vsc trac, vsc off, and brake light all came on at the same time, with an audible buzzer. Once I approached the intersection, I realized that the vehicles brakes were not working and had to push the pedal hard all the way to the floor and prayed that the vehicle stopped. I had just dropped my son and my neighbor's child off at school. Luckily, there was no one in front of me at the light and I was able to avoid an accident.
