My 4runner ran an intersection...Lost brakes!!

Hey all,
A strange thing happened this morning. I started the 4runner up and let it warm up a little bit. When I started driving and came to the first stop, the brakes didn't work and I ended up going through the stop. It only happened the first time I stepped on the brakes. All the other times after that, it has stopped fine. I checked the brake fluid level and it is full. Has anybody have this happen?

Get them checked!

You've got air in the lines. This will happen again! If you're lucky, you'll only need them bled. But go get them checked asap.
