NHTSA Complaint #11022634 — 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER

MASTER CYLINDER FAILED - HAVE TO SLAM THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THEN I WAS STILL UNSURE IF THE CAR WOULD ACTUALLY STOP. HAD TWIN 3 YEAR OLD BOYS IN THE CAR, SCARED FOR OUR LIVES. DASHBOARD LITE UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE. SECOND SHOP DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAILED MASTER CYLINDER. PARTS PLUS LABOR = $3,066. I WORK FOR THE SCHOOL SYSTEM AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT SORT OF MONEY. WILL TOW IT HOME, HOPEFULLY FIND A USED PART, AND TRY TO REPLACE IT OURSELVES. THE ONLY REASON I'M LOGGING A COMPLAINT (BECAUSE CARS NEED REPAIRS AND I UNDERSTAND THAT) IS BECAUSE I'M SEEING THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT OVER AND OVER AGAIN "MASTER CYLINDER TOYOTA FJ CRUISER 2007". HOW CAN SO MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE EXACT SAME VEHICLE GO UNHEARD? PLEASE HELP, MAKE THE MASTER CYLINDER RECALL APPLY TO THE FJ CRUISER. IT OBVIOUSLY SHOULD BE INCLUDED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
