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…

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…

I have major vibration when applying my brakes on the 2000 toyota tundra. I have had 2 brake jobs done, resurfacing rotors, new pads. The problem reapeared after about 2 weeks. Went back to brake shop and they said there is nothing they can do other than to continue to resurface or replace rotors, calipers, and pads. They also infromed me that they are aware of toyota service bulletins but, unless you are within the…

I have a horrible vibration problem when braking. This is caused by toyota releasing brake calipers that are too small. I have had my brake pads replaced several times, my rotors replaced, and there the problem will go away for about a week or two. Then the problem comes right back. Technicians have suggested that i replace the calipers for larger calipers. This issue is caused by toyota's design flaw, not my use of…

I have a severe vibration in the vehicle when braking from 30 mph or higher. I had the brakes replaced and rotors resurfaced. The vibration reappears within a matter of days. An ase mechanic did all the work and used original toyota parts. The last time i took the vehicle for repair, i was advised that my calipers were the culprit and that it would cost nearly $1,000 to replace them. I took the vehicle to my dealer…

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2000 toyota tundra. The contact stated that the vehicle shakes when he puts his foot on the brakes. The front of the vehicle shakes badly and the vehicle becomes hard to control in bad weather. The dealer stated that the caliburs are to small for the truck and causes the rotors to become hot, which makes it harder to stop the vehicle. The failure mileage was 67000 and the current mileage…

I have a 2000 toyota tundra. It has a terrible vibration in the front end due to the undersized calipers in the brake system. I know this because toyota has told me this personally. Unfortunately once the vehicle is out of warranty, they will not do anything about the problem, even though according to their service bulletins, the calipers are not adequate. This does not seem to be a freak thing since so many tundra…

Front end wobbled when the consumer depressed the brake pedal. Dealership turned the rotors, but that provided a temporary solution. Dealership indicated that there was a technical service bulletin on this issue that indicated this problem was caused by the calipers which were too small. *ak
