When i apply the brakes on my tundra, the entire truck shakes violently. I have had the brakes replaced and the shaking continues. I was told by my repairman that toyota knows of the problem with this year and model however, will not cover the replacement to correct the problem. My truck has 82,000 miles now and far out of warranty. I believe that toyota should pay to correct the problem since they are aware of it.…

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 toyota tundra. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle shakes and wobbles when the brakes are applied. The contact stated that it feels as if the wheels are coming off of the vehicle. The cause of failure is the warping of the rotors when they become overheated. The contact spoke to the manufacturer and they offered him $200 toward the brake repair. The cost to replace the rotors, brake lines,…

Front brake disc (or also called rotors) warp apparently due to excessive heat. Dealer says no recall but there is a tsb recognizing problem. Owner replaced rotors and problem recurred within 10,000 miles. Dealer now recommends using warranty on rotors from parts house. The widespread occurrence of this problem on toyota tundra indicates that there is a design flaw that should be corrected at manufacturer expense…

Front brakes shake vehicle violently when applied between 50 to 40 mph. A toyota service bulletin was published for this problem involving replacing upgraded major brake components, but will not pay to fix under engineered original parts. This needs a recall. *jb

Carrying a heavy load in mountain terrain. The front brake rotors rapidly warped, leading to violent shaking, inability to stop and near-loss of control. Brake rotors were turned and pads upgraded to ceramic. Going through the mountains without a load caused the rotors to warp again, once more leading to inability to stop and near-loss of control. The front brake assemblies were completely replaced by pellman's…

I am the owner of a 2000 toyota tundra with dangerous pulsating, vibrating front disc brakes. I first brought this problem to the attention of my dealer on july 31, 2002. The vehicle had 12,894 miles at the time. The warped front rotors were resurfaced and the brake pads replaced. Neither the front rotors nor the calipers were replaced. I was informed at the time that the maximum amount had been machined off the…

Severe brake vibrations on 2000 toyota tundra pickup. This is the second set of brakes pads and rotors ive put on this truck. Internet searches reveal that toyota issued a tsb on this in 2002. Why arent consumers made aware of this prior to their warranties expiring when toyota knows about the problem!!!!! *nm

The braking system on my 2000 toyota tundra, as well as those of numerous other tundra owners, has an inherent design flaw that toyota has chosen to ignore and not inform us about. In addition to the front brakes pulsating and failing to stop the vehicle effectively, the proportioning valve that transfers braking force to the rear drum brakes doesn't seem to work at all. There is a "load sensing device" that is…

I'm the second owner of the truck and have had the rotors replaced and brakes completely overhauled twice in approximately 30,000 miles. After noticing many complaints of other tundra owners on the internet and finding out that toyota has released a tsb to correct the problem (but will…

Terrible vibration as i was braking from front of vehicle,toyota tundra 2000). Brought truck to dealer during warranty, they turned the rotors and charged me. At 34,000 miles prior to warranty expiring they suggested same - turned rotors, and they indicated this was a normal problem. You just have to turn the rotors. Now, they admit there was a problem, and a service bulletin was issued. But since the truck is out…

I own a 2000 tundra with severe brake problems. I bought my tundra used with 38,000 miles from the dealer. Since i've had it i put 67,000 miles on it, and 2 set of rotars, and have to resureface them ever 5,000 to 10,000 miles. I believe toyota should be responsible for the cost of the upgrade which is $1,700.00, also reimbursement of all cost associated with brake problems. There are so many other complaints about…

We own a 2000 tundra. We recently took it to the shop because the truck would shake when applying the brakes. The mechanic turned the rotors and replaced the pads. After about a week the shaking was back. We took it back to the same shop and the mechanic said this is a common problem he experiences with tundras. We are very weary about driving this vehicle as we use it primarily to drive our children from place to…
