SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
I HAVE A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH ONLY 29,900 MILES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATION UPON BRAKING. BRAKING DISTANCE HAS INCREASED TREMENDOUSLY. I HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT THIS PREMATURE WEAR ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE AND BELIEVE THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE BRAKE SYSTEM AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
MY 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA STARTED VIBRATING SEVERALLY AT AROUND 15000 MILES. TOYOTA FIXED THE PROBLEM, AND AT 31000 MILES THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. UNFORTUNATELY I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTACT TOYOTA FOR REPAIR UNTIL TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF PURCHASE, HALF HOUR BEFORE CLOSING AT A WEEKEND. TOYOTA REFUSES TO FIX MY PROBLEM, HELPFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THAT I WAS OUT OF LUCK. BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WOULD HAVE EXPIRED BY THE TIME I COULD TAKE IT IN.

TIRES, WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO FIX HAVE FAILED. DEALER(S) SAID WHEELS OR BRAKES OR TIRES WERE THE PROBLEM. REPLACED WHEELS AND BRAKES, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. TOLD CONSUMER TO REPLACE TIRES. WE SAID WE WOULD IF THEY PROVE THIS IS THE PROBLEM BY PUTTING TIRES ON TO CHECK IT. ONE DEALER WOULD NOT. WE FOUND ONE THAT WOULD. NEW, HIGH QUALITY TIRES RESULTED IN SAME VIBRATION. WENT TO ARBITRATION AND LOST. THIS IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND RESOURCES. DEALER WAS ABLE TO LIE AND SAY THEY DIDN'T PUT NEW TIRES ON (AT THE INSISTANCE OF THE 'DISTRICT REP'. THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE WAS WORN COMPLETELY DOWN ON THE OUTER EDGE, AND OTHER THREE WERE OK. DOCUMENTED WITHIN ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE THE ENTIRE LIFE OF VEHICLE. TOYOTA 'RECOMMENDS' 26 PSI IN FRONT TIRES TO DAMPEN KNOWN VIBRATION. TIRES DESIGNED FOR 35 PSI. THIS SUBSTANTIALLY AFFECTS VALUE OF VEHICLE, AS AFTER ARBITRATION LOSS WE TRIED TO TRADE, BUT DEALER SAID HE KNEW OF DEFECT IN FRONT END OF 2000 TUNDRA'S AND WOULD NOT EVEN GIVE US WHOLESALE TRADE VALUE. HIS TEST DRIVE CONFIRMED VIBRATION. IN ADDITION, WE NEED TO REPLACE TIRES OFTEN DUE TO DEFECT. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA!*AK

TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCK FRONT ROTORS I HAD A PROBLEM AS I BOUGHT THE NEW TRUCK . BRAKES WOULD PULSATE WHEN STOPPING. I WAS TOLD FROM TOYOTA THERE WAS A PROBLEM AT THE FACTORY WITH WARPED ROTORS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND ALL THEY DID WAS MACHINE THE ROTORS DOWN. THE INVOICE SAID"OUT OF ROUND ROTORS. IM' CONCERNED THIS COULD REOCCUR AND CAUSE A REAL SAFETY PROBLEM. I ALSO FOUND A "PLUG" IN MY TIRE. BRAND NEW TRUCK AND THERE WAS A PLUG IN IT. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
MY TUNDRA IS A 2001 AND IT HAS JUST UNDER 36,000 MILES. THE BRAKES CAUSE THE FRONT END TO SHAKE SEVERELY. I REPLACED THE PADS ABOUT A MONTH AGO BUT THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN WORSE. I UNDERSTAND FROM OTHER SITES THAT THE STANDARD BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THE TUNDRA IS INADEQUATE. I'LL PROBABLY JUST GET RID OF THE TRUCK INSTEAD OF FIGHTING WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS REALLY MUDDIES THE TOYOTA REPUTATION FOR ME. GUESS I'LL GO BACK TO EUROPE TO GET MY NEXT VEHICLE.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
VEHICLE IS A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA ACCESS CAB SR5. FROM THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED WITH THE CONVENIENCE PACKAGE, WHICH INCLUDES POWER LOCK DOORS. THE DOOR WILL UNLOCK AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH. THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR WILL ACTIVATE ON THE DASH AND THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WILL UNLOCK. THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THIS CONDITION IS TO STOP THE CAR IN A SAFE AREA, GET OUT AND OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOORS FIRMLY. THIS OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT SEEMS TO OCCUR ON ROUGH ROADS, AND SNOW ROAD CONDITIONS.

IMPROPER FRONT BRAKE CALIPER SIZE, WHICH CAUSES WARPING OF THE FRONT BRAKE DISC ,AND SUBSEQUENT SERIOUS STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION OF MY 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA. TOYOTA IS DECLINING TO ISSUE AN OFFICIAL RECALL OF THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE COMPONENTS, AND DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNCOOPERATIVE IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE NO ONE HAS TO BE INJURED FOR TOYOTA TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.*AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, CHILD SEAT:TETHER: STRAP/WEBBING
WE OWN A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA PICKUP. WHILE RESEARCHING THE TETHER STRAP SYSTEM BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE IT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THE GUIDE BAR HAS AN OPENING FACING TOWARDS THE DOOR THAT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE TETHER STRAP TO BE HELD SECURELY. WE HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT THIS AND WAS TOLD ALL TUNDRAS ARE MADE THIS WAY AND THAT IT IS NOT A DEFECT AND THAT IT COULD NOT BE CHANGED. THIS CONCERNS ME THAT I CANNOT UTILIZE ALL SAFETY FEATURES OF MY CAR SEAT IN THE PICKUP. I NEED TO HAVE TWO CAR SEATS IN THE TRUCK SO SIMPLY PUTTING THE CAR SEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT AN OPTION. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A WAY FOR THAT GUIDE BAR TO BE PUT IN CORRECTLY SO THAT IT WOULD GUIDE THE STAP TO THE TETHER ANCHOR THAT IS AVAILABLE ALONG THE SIDE OF THE FLOOR. OTHERWISE THERE SHOULD NOT BE AN ANCHOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SINCE IT CANNOT BE INSTALLED CORRECTLY BECAUSE OF THE GUIDE BAR ISSUE AS IT NOW STANDS.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I AM A OWNER OF A 2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5. I HAVE HAD MY MY BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED TWICE WITHIN THE LAST THREE YEARS. EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES INTO A NEW SET OF BRAKES AND ROTORS THE TRUCK BEGINS TO PULSATE AND VIBRATE UNDER MODERATE BRAKING SITUATIONS, USUALLY ON FREEWAYS AND HIGHWAYS. THE SENSATION IS RATHER SCARY AND VIOLENT AT TIMES. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT A COMPANY SO WELL RESPECTED AS TOYOTA WOULD ALLOW THIS PROBLEM TO EXIST WITHOUT OFFERING ANY REMEDY OR RECALL CAMPAIGN. PLEASE RECORD MY CONSUMER COMPLAINT AND SAFETY CONCERN. THANK YOU.*AK
