Malfunctioning brake sensors on 2005 tundra uses abs to override driver's braking below 10 mph. The defect is that "abs" light does not appear on dash to inform the driver that he does not have full braking authority over the vehicle when the abs kicks in. The toyota dealer had damaged the brake sensor while replacing the rear axle bearings. I drove the service manager to witness the loss of braking control. The…

Bought this vehicle used in 2010 and it had a lot of corrosion underneath then. Currently has 50 k miles. My brakes are squealing due to corrosion preventing the calipers from moving and the wheel was corroded to the hub and it took a lot of effort to remove it. The structural members and all the components have loose layers of rust. The exhaust heat shields fell off. The spare tire restraint system looks too weak…

I have experienced floor mat entanglement issues and uncommanded accelerations with my 2005 tundra double cab. I also have experienced a clunking sound in my brakes/front end when i shift into reverse and then apply the brakes. The dealer has told me all of these issues are normal which according to the recalls for other model years they are clearly not normal. Can the 05 tundras be added to the current recalls and…

Toyota issued a 2005 repair notification that brake rotors were warping but did not pose a safety problem. Toyota recommended repairs require replacement of the rotors, calipers, and brake pads. There is no guarantee that this will resolve the problem per the repair…

The would also lose pressure to where i could not stop in the middle of a hot day. Problem was consistent first thing in the morning on the way to work. Took it to toyota dealer and they could not figure it out at first. They had me replace the brake pads, and…

I have a 2005 toyota tundra. I was carrying a load to the junk yard and after a few stops my brakes starting pulsing and stopping correctly became dangerous. I suspect the rotors got too hot from the load. This is a full size truck and the brakes appear to be too small to handle the braking required. The brakes and rotors will need to be replaced. This is a poor design and a safety problem. Fortunately no one has…

My 2005 toyota tundra, v8, aroud 30,000 miles continues to have kicking problems feel similar to minor car accident impacts everytime i release the brake pedal after each stop. I brought the truck to the toyota dealer several times but they did not know how to fix the problem. They even called the manufacturer but they did not know how to fix it either.
