#752086September 11, 2001
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
THIS IS OUR 3RD TOTOYA TUNDRA IN THE FAMILY. WE HAD A GREEN 2000 V8 SR5 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM . WE RECENTLY JUST BOUGHT ALSO A CLOSE OUT MODEL 2000 SR5 LIMITED 4WD AND IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, AND THEN AGAIN I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW SR5 V8 AND IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. WHEN YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE IT LIKE THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE BRAKING FROM A HIGH SPEED TO A SLOWER SPEED(EX. 70MPH. TO 50MPH.) ITS LIKE THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES. HOPEFULLY THE NHTSA WILL LOOK IN TO THIS MATTER SO THAT THIS BRAKE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM:DRUM
FROM CONTACT WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE THERE SEEMS TO BE A FAILURE PATTERN WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE. THE BRAKE DRUMS AND ROTORS APPEAR TO BE WARPING AND REQUIRING REPLACEMENT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES OF USE. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED TSB'S TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO WORK FROM WHAT OTHER OWNERS SAY. MY SON HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND IS ON HIS THIRD SET OF ROTORS WITH LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. WHEN I GOT MY TRUCK BACK WITH THE NEW PARTS AND APPLIED THE BRAKES ON A LONG HILL AT 50 MPH THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING MOTION AND I THOUGHT CONTROL WOULD BE LOST. IT HAS NOT REPEATED THIS BEHAVIOR BUT I QUESTION THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.*AK
