Need some help...more like a small favor.

My truck has been having problem with the abs actuator, it has this annoying buzzing/vibration in the pedal every 3rd or 4th time I press on the brake. When you open up the hood it's more noticeable. I took it in to the dealer and they said it's 100% normal which I know it's not not because it never did that. The squishy sound yes but not the buzzing/vibration. So... the tech said they need to find another 2013,14,or 15 to compare with mine so they can determine if it's normal or not. Thanks in advance. I'm located in socal.

 

The dealer doesn't have any on the lot? You should try another dealer if they're gonna hassle you like that.

 

I went to 3 already. None on lot. So frustrating

 

Mine has done this since day 1.

 

It's loud. Sounds like I have a phone vibrating on the floor board.

 

Smooth, steady and quiet brakes on my 13'. But sorry, Im not drivin to SoCal to show the dealer.

 

They had a 14 sport on lot. But the braking system is different from the off road

 

Nothing even close on my 2013DCLB 4X4.

 

My 2015 has the squishy sound but nothing like the rest of your symptoms. I am out of state, so not much help. Good luck with a fix. Are you using stock wheels, have a lift or anything?

 

Aftermarket wheels 285/70/17 ,Icon c/o and aal. This started happening after I came back from trip up to Big Bear few weeks ago.

 

Are you taking this to a Toyota dealer?

I'd be really scared if they were so uneducated on their own vehicles that they wanted another truck to "compare" to before they decide whether this noise is "normal" or not.

 

Yea Toyota. I took the tech out for a test drive to show him that this happens in P,R,N,D,4x4. I popped open the hood so he can see the acuator vibrate/buzz when the brake is circulated every 3rd or 4th time....long story short I picked up my truck and advisor said they don't think there's an issue with my brake system but they need to find a truck with same system to compare

 

Meanwhile... I hope your brakes don't fail and cause a crash.

 

Yea tell me about it. It's raining for the next 4 days.

 

In my opinion it is the electronic booster pump. They should just replace it. It is normal for it to run when you apply the brakes, but it shouldn't be doing enough to feel a vibration in the floorboard.

 

My 15 does not make the sound you are describing, if that helps you at all....

I agree that's a shitty answer from the dealership.

 

Mine does this as well and my dealer told me it was normal
