2004 Toyota Tacoma SR5 2 w/d extra cab review from North America

"Below fair and less than reliable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought this vehicle new and after nine moths and 11, 650 miles the brake warning light would go on when the brake was applied. The owner manual said to take the vehicle to the Toyota dealer as soon as possible. I immediately took the vehicle. The service department later let me know the brake fluid was low and they had added more to correct the problem. I asked for a reason why it was low, but was simply told the vehicle used up what it needed. I have a 1986 and 1990 Toyota pick up I bought used a few years ago and they never have required adding more brake fluid between 3,000 mile oil changes. This cost me $38 and a half day of down time. I didn't appreciate having to pay for this because in my opinion this is not a normal or routine service call. I'm concerned something might be wrong with the braking system such as the booster because this has never happened to me with a new vehicle or a used vehicle, and I have owned six new vehicles, all G.M. All I can do is hope for the best and I'll make sure to ask the dealer when I have routine oil changes done if there are any recalls?

General comments?

Sometimes when a recall is issued it can take two or more years. I experienced this with my 1996 Buick Regal. It took G.M. four plus years to issue a recall for the steering repair I paid for.
