Catastrophic brake failure: I had all four wheels (brakes) lockup almost causing an accident. Had to tow to the Toyota dealer. Got the shock of my life when the first estimate was $3700 for replacing the truck's Anti-Lock Brake System Controller (ABS). Totally unacceptable for a vehicle with only 62K miles. Through help using Toyota Customer Care and the dealer, I was able to get the cost down to $2200. Only reason given for the failure was "age". So, Toyota Tundra owners, beware.
Last Toyota for me. This is a major safety issue that should have been totally covered by Toyota.
