The Toyota dealer called me earlier today and told me that the problem has been fixed on my truck. Woohoo! Apparently, it was as simple as the master cylinder rod being out of adjustment, which in turn caused the brakes to be continually applied to some degree. Supposedly, all other components are fine, and there wasn’t any damage to the brake pads or rotors. I don’t know, should I believe them on that? The components did get pretty hot after all.
Anyway, I hope it really is that simple, and I have no more troubles. Still, even if I wind up trouble free, I know I’m going to be stuck with a little voice in the back of my head that’ll always be listening for any click, pop, squeak or grind that’s just “not right” for as long as I own the car.
