If your brakes truly don't work when applied as you would in an emergency, stop driving the car and have it towed/trucked to your mechanic or a Toyota dealer to be checked. That said, it's pretty much impossible for a braking system on a modern car not to work at all. If there were a fault in the system you should have a brake warning light shining on your dash. I'll take a wild leap here and guess that you've never slammed on the brakes while driving a car equipped with anti-lock brakes. When an anti-lock system is applied in emergency mode, you can usually feel the pedal vibrating (which scares some people so they let off the brake and slam into something) and the tires do not skid. The brakes are actually applied and released by a computer that reads a sensor on each wheel. If it senses the tire is about to skid (stop) the brake is released on that wheel. That apply/release sequence occurs very rapidly. The end result is you do not skid, the car comes to a quick controllable stop. Cheers

What is the air sound coming from the brakes?
That sound it the air being aloud to escape from the air system though the quick release valve. This usally happens when the driver has applied the parking brakes. But, it can happen during other times you dont want it to.
