Tundra brake pedal feedback

Hey, I'm having a weird brake pedal issue with my 2000 Toyota Tundra with a gasoline engine. It's got about 152560 km on it. Could it be related to undervoltage? What could be causing this?

Summary of the thread

A 2000 Toyota Tundra owner is experiencing a strange brake pedal issue and suspects it might be related to undervoltage. A fellow Tundra owner suggests checking the brake shoes and fluid levels, as low brake fluid can cause a spongy pedal feel. The recommendation is to have a professional inspection at a workshop, which reveals worn brake parts as the cause of the problem.

Hey! I've got a Tundra as well, and I had a similar issue a while back. Weird pedal feel, right? Have you checked your brake shoes? Maybe there is not enough brake fluid in the system?

Interesting! Brake shoes, you say? And how would I go about checking the brake fluid reservoir to see if air got into the hydraulic brakes? Any particular things I should be looking for?

Yep, definitely check those brake shoes for wear, and inspect the disc brakes too. As for the fluid, low levels can definitely cause that spongy feeling. But honestly, with brakes, is it worth taking the risk? I'd recommend taking it to a reliable workshop for a thorough inspection. Better safe than sorry!

Thanks a lot for your input! That's solid advice about the workshop, I did exactly that. Turns out it was a combination of worn brake parts contributing to the problem, the estimate was 240€ for the repair. I appreciate the help!
