I have brake problems. I have less than 36000 and my brake pad needed to be replaced. I have also had a abnormal vibration in the truck when applying the brakes. This has been the case since I purchased the vechilce new. Thought it was normal for the truck but guess not. Toyota is paying for the parts, and I'm paying for labor to replace rotors, pads, calipers to resolve the issue. Costing me $400.
There is vibration in the steering system, when applying brakes most noticable when braking from speeds over 45 mph or on down hills. I have had the brake pads replaced, rotors turned, and the problem returned in a few weeks. I asked Toyota dealership to repair, they refused, the vehicle is out of warranty. I'm the original owner.
The brakes on the 2000 to 2003 Toyota Tundra overheatthe rotors warp, and pads wear 3 times faster there is finally a tsb on the brakes they now have a new improved caliper.this should be a recall they try to get you through the warrenty period and turn there backs on you.there are many people with the same problem at 39,000 miles I need$ 1,500 of work and Toyota says to bad the vibration is so bad I dont want to drive it it is not safe for the road these calipers are a bad design.there is a new part # for the new type.also the rear brakes 2000-2001 the stare adjuster is a bad design and a tsb is out to fix please help.
I have a 2001 Toyota Tundra and have had constant problems with my brakes. There is strong vibration when using the brakes. I have had it "fixed" twice by Toyota and once by and independent mechanic and the problem comes back every time.there is a tsb on the truck but no recall. Toyota customers were not even informed of the tsb.

Vehicle still shutters& vibrates when applying brakes after 2 times into dealer for warranty repair work. The dealer says that there is no problem. They replaced all brake pads and drums the first time and turned the rear drums the second time.
