VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE VIBRATION/SHAKING WHEN BRAKING, ESPECIALLY DOWNHILL, AND MOST NOTABLY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40-50 MPH. REPAIR ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE AT 20,341 MILES AND 24,312 MILES REPLACING CALIPERS, ROTORS AND DRUMS, AS WELL AS ATTEMPTS AT RESURFACING BADLY WARPED ROTORS/DRUMS. CONDITION STILL EXISTS AT CURRENT MILEAGE OF 28,128 MILES. FEAR THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF HANDLING, CONTROL, TRACTION OR MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT IF BRAKES FAIL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AS THIS ALSO DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN ISOLATED CASE, THIS CONDITION IS LIKELY TO AFFECT VEHICLE REPUTATION AND (RE-SALE) VALUE AS WELL.

(1) ON 7/30/03 AT 5796 MILES, ONLY 10 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING A 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA (9/27/2002), I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT VIBRATION DURING LIGHT BRAKING AT SPEEDS OF 45-60 MPH. 2) CONCERNED FOR MY AND OTHER MOTORISTS' SAFETY, I TOOK IT IN TO THE KIRKLAND TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. (3) KIRKLAND TOYOTA COMPLETED THE FRONT BRAKES CAMPAIGN AND REPLACED THE FOLLOWING UNDER OP CODE BR2005: CALIPERS, BRAKE PADS, WHEEL BEARINGS, BACKING PLATE, TURN ROTORS, AND TUBES. THEY ALSO BLED THE BRAKES AND TORQUED THE WHEELS. (1) ON 8/13/04, AT 10494 MILES, I NOTICED THAT THE VIOLENT VIBRATION HAD RETURNED. (2) CONCERNED FOR MY AND OTHER MOTORISTS' SAFETY, I TOOK IT IN TO THE KIRKLAND TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AGAIN. (3) KIRKLAND TOYOTA TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE TSB ON REAR BRAKE VIBRATION, OP CODE 472151 COMBO CODE A. THE SERVICE DEPT. RELACED BOTH REAR DRUMS. (1) THE FOLLOWING DAY, 8/14/04 I TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE VIOLENT VIBRATION DURING LIGHT BRAKING HAD INCREASED, NOW OCCURRING ON BOTH GRADES AND FLAT SURFACES. (2) MY NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, BUT I AM NOT ENCOURAGED THAT A SOLUTION WILL BE FOUND. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
VIBRATION NEAR FRONT OF 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA ACCESS CAB, MOST NOTICEABLE AT 25-40MPH WITHOUT AND WITH BRAKES APPLIED. THE VIBRATION DURATION OSCILLATES IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO THE VEHICLE SPEED. AND LASTS FROM ONCE PER TWO SECONDS TO TWICE PER SECOND. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER (DON JACOBS, WI) 4 OR 5 TIMES WITHOUT SATISFACTION. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE, AND RECOMMENDED NEW TIRES TO CIRCUMVENT THE WISCONSIN LEMON LAW, WHICH ALLOWS CONSUMERS TO RETURN A VEHICLE IF THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE ALLEVIATED AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO BE CORRECTED. PROBLEM LESS NOTICEABLE AFTER REPLACEMENT OF TIRES, BUT HAS SINCE GOTTEN WORSE. NOT AN ENGINE PROBLEM, AS I HAVE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TO VARY THE ENGINE SPEED WITH NO CHANGE IN THE SYMPTOMS. I HAVE OWNED 3 OTHER TOYOTAS PRIOR TO THIS ONE, BUT I BELIEVE THIS WILL BE MY LAST UNLESS I RECEIVE SOME SATISFACTION. I SUBMITTED THE VEHICLE PROBLEM TO TOYOTA ON A SURVEY THEY SENT ME AND HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. I GUESS THEY DON'T WANT OUR CONTINUED BUSINESS.
