I drive a 2000 toyota tundra and have been recently appalled at non only my vehicle's brake performance but the amount of listings with the same complaint! And yet, no recall has been made. My brake rotors need repair, by abs kicks in even on dry surfaces at low speeds. This happens regularly and has caused numerous close-calls. The fact that a recall has not been mandated is inexcusable. *tr

I have a 2000 toyota tundra. When applying brakes, particularly when exiting the freeway, the truck shakes violently as if there were an earth quake. It's like nothing else and could not be from operator error. I've recently replaced the pads and the rotors and bled the system but to no avail. The truck still shakes dangerously when slowing, however gently, from speeds in excess of approximately 40 mph. *nm
