2000 Toyota Tundra limited: I purchased my vehicle when it only had 34,000 miles on it. I now have 98,000 miles on my truck and I have always had brake problems, shaking, pulsating. I have replaced my rotors before and shortly after the same problem was back in no time. I am wondering if there is a recall on the brakes for this particular model. If not there should be. I have been on numerous discussion boards and people still with factory warranties and all or barely over have had there brakes overhauled at no charge.
