SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKES MAKE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUDDER STRONGLY IF USED IN MOUNTAINOUS REGIONS WHERE HIGHER USE RATES CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO OVER HEAT. TOYOTA OF EASILY CLAIMS THAT AS A TSB ONLY, THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DO OUT-OF-WARRANTY REPAIRS. I NOTICED THE PROBLEMS WITHIN WARRANTY BUT DID NOT MAKE A REPORT TO MY DEALER. I ASKED IF THEY WOULD SELL ME THE PARTS AT COST. NO. I EMAILED TOYOTA NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED THE SAME QUESTION. NO RESPONSE. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT A TSB. IF THERE WAS NOT AN ENGINEERING FLAW, WHY DO THEY HAVE NEW CALIPERS AND BACKING PLATES FOR THE TSB? THEY SHOULD AT LEAST PROVIDE THESE PARTS AT COST TO OUT-OF-WARRANTY CONSUMERS, RATHER THAN AT THEIR INFLATED LIST PRICE OF NEARLY $1,000 (PARTS ONLY). *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
BRAKE VIBRATIONS/SHUDDER/ BOUNCE SINCE ABOUT 8000 MILES. I NOW HAVE 45000 ON THE TRUCK AND I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX VIBRATIONS I FEEL WHILE BRAKING. THE DEALERSHIP LEAD TECH RODE WITH ME AND FELT THE VIBRATIONS. THEY HAVE PERFORMED SEVERAL FIXES HAS TOYOTA RELEASED TO NO AVAIL. I PULL A LARGE BOAT, AND AT TIMES, I AM NOT VERY CONFIDENT IN THE BRAKES ON MY TRUCK. NOT EXACTLY THE FEELING YOU WANT WHEN YOU'RE PULLING 3700 LBS BEHIND YOU! THIS WILL BE A POSSIBLE LIABILITY ISSUE IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED ON MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO BE FIXED THE PART TOOK TWO WEEKS TO COME IN BECAUSE IT WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE REASON FOR THIS BACK ORDER WAS THAT THE PART HAD BEEN REDESIGNED AND WAS NOT AVAILIBLE YET. THIS TELLS ME THAT THE PART WAS FAULTY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
