Hi - in 2001 i purchased a 2000 tundra and had major issues with the brakes some time later. After several contacts with toyota corporate offices i was told i was out of luck. The rotors would warp and in 2003 toyota increased the caliper/pad size to fix the problem. There was a tsb released to fix the older trucks but nothing was done to fix the pre 03 trucks. At one point several years after the trucks hit the…

Toyota vehicles have another safety flaw that seems to be systemic across many models. My 2000 tundra has a braking quirk where the brakes under light to moderate braking cause a pulsating shudder in the vehicle. My wife's 2001 avalon does the same thing as did her 1993 camry. Several friends with toyota or lexus vehicles have reported similar experiences. The quirk isn't consistent, at times it isn't noticeable and…

Our 2000 toyota tundra (with ~60,000 miles) was parked it in my relatives driveway on 10/18/09. When we went to drive it out of my aunt's driveway on 10/18/09, she started yelling, "stop, something is leaking!" looked at the front drivers brake line and saw a hole that was pushing out brake fluid with high pressure when brakes were applied. Thankfully, the brakes failed in the driveway instead of on route 2 between…

The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the brake pads were replaced twice by the dealer, but the problem was actually with the rotors, caliper and disc. Once they were replaced, the vehicle started to slow down properly. The dealer did not…

1. Slow loss of brake pressure due to low brake fluid levels (occurred over a span of 3-4 hours) 2. Total loss of brakes on all 4 wheels. Fortunately, i was towing a trailer at the time and the trailer brakes allowed me to stop safely. First time this has ever occurred. Failure was due to rusted lines. 3. Rear brake lines were replaced. I did not keep the old lines. *tr
