SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2002 TOYOTA DOUBLE CAB 4X4 DURING MOUNTAIN DRIVING, MY FRONT BRAKES WILL MAKE THE TRUCK SHAKE. I WOULD DESCRIBE THE FEELING LIKE BAD ABS, HOWEVER, I DO NOT HAVE ABS. THIS PROBLEM ONLY SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN I AM GOING DOWNHILL (LIKE LOVELAND PASS). THE SHUTTERING DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE SPEED OF DECELERATION. ONCE IT STARTS IT SEEM TO BE THERE UNTIL THE BRAKES HAVE PLENTY OF COOLING TIME. I HAD IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT OR GET IT TO DO IT. HOWEVER LAST TIME I WAS IN FOR OTHER REPAIRS, THE SERVICE MANAGER MENTIONED THAT 2000-2003 TUNDRA'S HAD A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM BUT THERE WAS NOT ONE FOR THE TACOMA. I TRIED TO LOOK UP INFORMATION TO SEE IF THE BRAKING SYSTEMS CONSISTED OF THE SAME COMPONENTS, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER A WEEKS TIME SPAN WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK IT HAS ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO GO FASTER AND WAS HARD TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A TOYOTA DEALER AND WAS TOLD IF THEY COULD GET THE VEHICLE TO DO THIS THEY COULD FIX IT. THEY KEPT THE TRUCK FOR A DAY AND DROVE IT BUT THE TRUCK RAN NORMAL. THEY SAID IT RAN FINE AND TOLD ME TO COME AND PICK IT UP. *NLM

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A USED TOYOTA 1999 TACOMA FROM AN INDIVIDUAL WHICH HE PURCHASED BRAND NEW WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A OIL LEAK FROM A SEAL IN MY ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IN ORDER FOR THE REPAIR TO BE COVERED W/THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THE NAME HAS TO BE CHANGED FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW GOING ON 6 WEEKS. I'M REALLY GETTING THE RUNAROOUND FROM THESE PEOPLE AND IT'S UNACCEPTABLE. THE WARRRANTY WAS PURCHASED WITH THE TRUCK AND IT SHOULD STAY WITH THE TRUCK... PRIOR TO ALL OF THIS I HAD A 5 DOLLAR CENSOR GO OUT WHICH WAS COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I RE'CD A LETTER OF NOTIFICATION OF THE REPAIR UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH MY NAME ON THE FORM.. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND NOW THAT THE REPAIR IS MAJOR THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR? IT'S NOT RIGHT TO ME THE CONSUMER AND IT'S TOTALLY UNACCEPTIBLE...
