After putting a few thousand miles on truck, consumer would apply the brakes and steering wheel would vibrate in hands. Brakes on truck have been changed twice. Mechanic had indicated the problem was with the rotors. Consumer replaced rotors, drums, tires, shocks and balanced wheels, problems with warped drums and vibration still exist.

Tundra 4WD

  • miles
Brakes warp (front and rear) cause vehicle to shake violently when brakes are applied dealer repaired 3 times and then told me it was my fault - no more warranty repairs. Since then I have talked to numerous people with same problem. Toyota employees even acknowledge there is a problem. Several complaints from other owners listed on the internet. Vibration causes ABS to activate prematurely - unsafe!

Front rotors continue to warp under normal driving. Dealer claims it is a normal wear item and doesn't want to replace.M

problem #3

May 182001

Tundra 4WD

  • miles
Front rotors and rear drums are warping about every 15,000 miles requiring replacement of rotors, drums, shoes, and pads. This has been happening since the vehicle was new. Several tsb's have been issued on this subject to no avail. My concern is that there is a design flaw in the brake system that may lead to either catastrophic or repetitive system failure which may in turn lead to personal injury or death. It is clear to me that the brakes are not properly designed and Toyota should issue a recall to rectify. It is obvious that there is still a problem that has not been solved. If it not with the brakes, I would not be so alarmed.

- Mineola, TX, USA
