Rubber Parking Brake Pedal Came Off!

RobertMBecker · 07-06-2009, 11:55 AM

The very first time I used my emergency or parking brake, the small rubber petal came right off! Anyone else experience this? Not a good start!

I've done it once in the last 3 weeks. Of the several Toyota or Lexus models I've owned over the years, the only one that stayed in place was the Highlander Hybrid. With all the others I'd eventually find a way to kick that rubber boot off, usually several times a month.

You might try shoe goo.

yeah, mine came off in the first week too. You might try any of the adhesives out there like Shoe Goo as greylar suggested. No big deal...

It's under warranty. Take it back to the dealer.

All I can say is "Deal Breaker! Deal Breaker!" ....just kidding....glue it on, or have the dealer glue it on.

Also I guess Toyota's singing flora ad campaign might be more affective than I thought, because I'm pretty sure on every other car it's a brake Pedal, but I guess when you are in Harmony with Man, Nature and Machine it becomes a brake petal. Magical!....

Gorilla Glue is the best

All they can do is out it back on. I can do that in the comfort of my own garage.

Yours must be better looking. Most of us have pedals.

I left it off when it finally came loose the second time. The dealer put it back on under warranty, but apparently they have no TSB about glue.

It only slips out from under my foot 2 or 3 times a year so the pad isn't all that much of a need...
