DRIVING HOME AT THE END OF OUR VACATION, MY WIFE AND I WERE IN SEPERATE VEHICLES, SHE IN FRONT OF ME ON I-80 GOING WEST BOUND. WE'D JUST GOTTEN OFF THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE AND AS TRAFFIC WAS BUILDING AND SLOWING, SHE BRAKED AHEAD OF ME AND WHEN I PRESSED MY BRAKE IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. I COULDN'T STOP IN TIME BEFORE REAR ENDING THE CAR MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. IT WAS A LOW SPEED IMPACT, MAYBE 25 MPH. NO POLICE REPORT AND WE JUST KEPT DRIVING AFTER CHECKING THAT ALL WAS OK. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPAIRED AND THE MECHANIC CALLED ME TO SAY THE BRAKE LINES AND EVERYTHING ASSOCIATED NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE STATED HE CANNOT DO THE WORK DUE TO THE FACT THE TRUCK IS RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR AND HE FELT UNSAFE TO WORK UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK FOR FEAR OF IT FALLING ON HIM. I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRUCK FOR RUSTED FRAME ISSUES AND THE WINDOW TO RESPOND WAS MISSED DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS INVOLVING CARE OF A SINCE DECEASED MOTHER. I TRIED TO TALK TO TOYOTA BUT THE SHORT ANSWER IS I WAS TOO LATE EVEN THOUGH THE RUSTED FRAME IS ONLY WORSENING WITH TIME DUE TO FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS A MANUFACTURING FLAW WITH THE METHOD THESE TRUCKS WERE PRODUCED.
