THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED!!!!
Contaminated brake fluid.
I have always taken my car back to the dealer for servicing, while it was under warranty.
I have now only to replace/recondition, the Master Cylinder, Proportioning valve, calipers, flexible hoses, pads and rotors..
The service book states only dot 3 fluid, but I was talking a rep of the suppliers of this dealers and he says the dealer has started buying dot 4 fluid from another company, because it is cheaper, and it is playing havoc with the brakes of many Toyotas he gets to see at other repair shops.
The parts are gonna cost me around $800.00.
I am having the fluid saved and tested. and the parts, to see about reimbursement from the dealer.....
