THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IF NOTHING IS DONE, LIVES WILL BE LOST AS THIS VEH IS SOLD TO MORE AND MORE PEOPLE.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED TWICE ON THIS CAR ONCE AT 8K MILES AND AGAIN AT 14K I AM ALERTING YOU OF THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE BRAKES BEGIN TO SHUDDER AND THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES. I AM RUNNING ON A NEW SET OF DISCS IN THE FRONT AND ROTORS IN THE BACK AFTER ONLY 14,000 MILES. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM:DRUM
WITHIN 4000 MILES OF PURCHASE OF VEHICLE, IT DEVELOPED SEVERE VIBRATION DURING BRAKING. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 28000 MILES ON IT AND IS ON ITS THIRD FULL SET OF BRAKE ROTORS AND DRUMS. NEW ROTORS/DRUMS SEEM TO ONLY PROVIDE 1000-4000 MILES OF SMOOTH BRAKING BEFORE VIBRATION SETS IN AGAIN. DEALERS FIXING VEHICLE SAY VIBRATION IS DUE TO HEAT INDUCED WARPING OF ROTORS AND DRUMS. ONCE PARTS ARE WARPED, VIBRATIONS GET SO SEVERE IT FEELS ALMOST AS IF THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE IS HOPPING UP AND DOWN DURING HARD BRAKING. I BELIEVE THIS DEFECT GREATLY INCREASES CRITICAL STOPPING DISTANCE. MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED "PERMANENT" FIX FOR THIS DEFECT, THEY HAVE ONLY REPLACED WARPED PARTS WITH NEW PARTS OF SAME DESIGN. SOON VIBRATION SETS IN AGAIN. VEHICLE WILL SOON BE OUT OF WARRANTY.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM:DRUM
FRONT ROTORS AND REAR DRUMS ARE WARPING ABOUT EVERY 15,000 MILES REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS, DRUMS, SHOES, AND PADS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. SEVERAL TSB'S HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THIS SUBJECT TO NO AVAIL. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT MAY LEAD TO EITHER CATASTROPHIC OR REPETITIVE SYSTEM FAILURE WHICH MAY IN TURN LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT THE BRAKES ARE NOT PROPERLY DESIGNED AND TOYOTA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO RECTIFY. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED. IF IT NOT WITH THE BRAKES, I WOULD NOT BE SO ALARMED.

FROM CONTACT WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE THERE SEEMS TO BE A FAILURE PATTERN WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE. THE BRAKE DRUMS AND ROTORS APPEAR TO BE WARPING AND REQUIRING REPLACEMENT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES OF USE. TOYOTA HAS ISSUED TSB'S TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO WORK FROM WHAT OTHER OWNERS SAY. MY SON HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND IS ON HIS THIRD SET OF ROTORS WITH LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. WHEN I GOT MY TRUCK BACK WITH THE NEW PARTS AND APPLIED THE BRAKES ON A LONG HILL AT 50 MPH THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A VIOLENT SHAKING MOTION AND I THOUGHT CONTROL WOULD BE LOST. IT HAS NOT REPEATED THIS BEHAVIOR BUT I QUESTION THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.*AK

TIRES
VIBRATION IN FRONT ENT 55-64 MPH TIRES AND RIMS REPACED AT LEAST 3 TIMES. DEALER AND TOYOTA UNABLE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL VARIES WITH TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS. WORSE IN TEMPERATURES ABOVE 70 F. DEALER AND TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM. THIS VIBRATION WAS EVIDENT DURING INITIAL ROAD TEST AND APPEARED TO BE TIRE BALANCING ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, TOYOTA IS REQUIRING UNDER INFLATED PRESSURIZATION OF TIRES AGAINST MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATION WHICH MAY BE HIDING A MORE SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WITH THE FRONTEND CONDITION OF THIS MODEL TRUCK. WHEN DEALER REPRESENTATIVE FROM TOYAOTA TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE THIS WEEK, HE STATED THAT THE VIBRATION WAS WITHIN TOYAOTAS SPECIFICATION. BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO PRODUCE THE DETAILS OF SUCH SPECIFICATION. I URGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES AND TOYOTAS RECOMMENDATION FOR UNDERINFLATION. I THINK IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *AK (DOT NUMBER: DB72G14 TIRESIZE: P265/70R16)
