SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
I OWN A 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 EXTRA CAB 4X4. AT 15392 MILES I BEGAN FEELING A SHUTTER/VIBRATION FROM MY BRAKES WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MILES AN HOUR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID HE HAD ONE OTHER VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY STATED THAT THE TRUCK WARPED THE REAR DRUMS AND FRONT ROTORS. AFTER REPAIRING THE PROBLEM, I HAVE GONE BETWEEN 500-4000 MILES BETWEEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRING AGAIN. IN EACH INSTANCE, THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART UNDER WARRANTY BUT CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY PROBLEM AND THAT THE ONLY THING I FEEL IS THE WARPED DRUMS AND ROTORS. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF UTILIZING THIS TRUCK AS I WOULD THINK THAT OVER TIME AS THE CALIPERS KEEP GETTING PUSHED BACK THAT THIS WILL DETERIORATE THEN BRAKING MECHANISM. I AM CURRENTLY SCHEDULED FOR A NEW VEHICLE ARBITRATION BOARD ON TUESDAY MARCH 12, 2002. ACCORDING TO THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM TOYOTA, THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO MY EXESSIVE/HEAVY USE AND IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE EQUIPMENT. THIS TRUCK IS USED MOSTLY TO COMMUTE TO WORK AND DURING THE WINTER I TOW A SNOWMOBILE TRAILER THAT ONLY WEIGHS 2000 LBS LOADED. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY BRAKE PARTS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO WEAR OUT, OR EVEN WARP IN THAT SHORT OF TIME NO MATTER WHAT THE VEHICLE IS USED FOR. TOYOTA HAS TSB'S ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO CORRECT IT. PLEASE HELP WITH ANY INFORMATION POSSIBLE. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
I TOOK THE TRUCK TO VAN TROW TOYOTA IN MONROE, LA DUE TO THE FRONT END SHAKING WHEN BRAKING. THE TRUCK HAD AROUND 15000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOOK THE TRUCK FOR A RIDE AND THEN LOOKED AT IT IN THE SHOP. I WAS TOLD THAT THAT BRAKES WHERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO MIDAS BECAUSE THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM CHEAPER THEN TOYOTA. THE GUYS AT MIDAS SAID THE REAR BRAKES WHERE NOT WORKING AND THAT THE TRUCK WAS STOPPING ON JUST THE FRONT BRAKES. MIDAS ADJUSTED THE REAR BRAKES, REPLACED THE FRONT PADS, AND TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS. I WAS CHARGED AROUND $200. THE TRUCK NOW HAS ALMOST 30,000 MILES AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH IT AGAIN. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT TO TOYOTA AND SEE IF THEY WILL DO ANYTHING BUT I DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO. THIS IS MY FIRST TOYOTA AND IT MAY BE MY LAST. IF I CAN NOT GET THIS FIXED SOON THEN I MAY BE LOOKING FOR A NEW TRUCK. MAYBE THAT IS WHAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO HEAR SO THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK
