My 2000 Toyota Tundra started vibrating severally at around 15000 miles. Toyota fixed the problem, and at 31000 miles the problem came back. Unfortunately I was not able to contact Toyota for repair until two days prior to three year anniversary of purchase, half hour before closing at a weekend. Toyota refuses to fix my problem, helpful customer service said that I was out of luck. Bumper to bumper warranty would have expired by the time I could take it in.
2000 Tundra was purchased at 47,000 miles. Within 1000 miles, a severe vibration developed whenever the brakes were applied at speeds in excess of 40 miles per hour. As the vibration increased, I noticed a fairly severe increase in braking distance as well. After a near collision, I took the vehicle in for service. The dealer alerted me that there was a problem with brakes on the Tundra, however they simply resurfaced the rotors and informed me that the pads were at 75%. within 1000 miles, I again developed the same problem. I took the vehicle in again and again the dealer acknowledged the problem, but simply resurfaced the rotors and installed new pads at my expense. The service manager attempted to have Toyota pay to perform the work which was listed in service bulletins # BR00302, BR00402, however, Toyota refused citing that my truck had in excess of 36,000 miles. The bill for this work was quoted as $1700. It is now 1000 miles since my most recent service, and again the violent shaking and increased stopping distance has returned.
Rotors, drums, pads and shoes replaced at 12,000 miles and 34000 miles after developing severe vibration. These were replaced under warranty. At 40,000 miles severe vibration developed in rear end. At 54,000 miles severe vibration developed in front end. Found out that rotors are warped.
