2000 Toyota Tundra brakes complaints
Page 10 of 10: complaints 251 to 276 of 276, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Within 4000 miles of purchase of vehicle, it developed severe vibration during braking. Vehicle currently has 28000 miles on it and is on its third full set of brake rotors and drums. New rotors/drums seem to only provide 1000-4000 miles of smooth braking before vibration sets in again. Dealers fixing vehicle say vibration is due to heat induced warping of rotors and drums. Once parts are warped, vibrations get so severe it feels almost as if the rear end of the vehicle is hopping up and down during hard braking. I believe this defect greatly increases critical stopping distance. Manufacturer has not provided "permanent" fix for this defect, they have only replaced warped parts with new parts of same design. Soon vibration sets in again. Vehicle will soon be out of warranty.
Front rotors continue to warp under normal driving. Dealer claims it is a normal wear item and doesn't want to replace.m
Brakes create severe vibration when hot. Dealer service department reports "cannot duplicate" and makes no attempt to repair.
The tundra brakes needs a recall toyota has knowen info on this topic and has done nothing to improve this issue.
This is the second time my brake system has had to be replaced due to vibrations and warpage that almost caused a wreck.
Front rotors and rear drums are warping about every 15,000 miles requiring replacement of rotors, drums, shoes, and pads. This has been happening since the vehicle was new. Several tsb's have been issued on this subject to no avail. My concern is that there is a design flaw in the brake system that may lead to either catastrophic or repetitive system failure which may in turn lead to personal injury or death. It is clear to me that the brakes are not properly designed and toyota should issue a recall to rectify. It is obvious that there is still a problem that has not been solved. If it not with the brakes, I would not be so alarmed.
When brakes are applied ABS brake system seized, causing total brake failure, nearly resulting in a collision . Also, there are signs of metal chafings inside wheel well. Cause has not been determined. Please give any further details.
While traveling over 30 MPH and applying brakes with medium or hard brake application brakes operated poorly. Dealership has informed consumer that they will not perform any service to that vehicle. *ak rear drums out of round causing vehicle to vibrate while braking, front rotors warp instantly, consumer states vibration is also felt in steering wheel and brake pedal, dealer has attempted to repair, however has been unsuccessful.
Brakes had to be replaced after each failure due to oil contamination.
Vehicle shakes while braking, consumer states vibration is also felt in steering wheel and pulsation is felt in brake pedal, vehicle is brought to dealer every 4-5 thousand miles, with no success in correcting problem, 2 tsb's were done on vehicle, br 006-00 and br 003-00, still no resolution.
Front disc brake vibration @ all speeds, four wheel drive is very poor when traction of one or more wheels is lost; wheel that loses traction spins while other wheel will not turn.

Consumer was traveling about 50mph on highway, and there was a vehicle in front of him, he applied brakes, and brakes were hesitating and vibrating.
When applying brake pedal it goes to floor. Dealer told consumer that was how those vehicles' brakes functioned.
Brake pedal vibrates, brake rotors warp when they get warm.
While braking vehicle vibrates and shakes which may cause extended stopping distance, and result in a crash. Dealer said poor brakes. Please provide further information.
Rack and pinion steering failure, causing front tires to wear excessively. Front brakes would grab/vibrate when vehicle got hot, and brakes were applied. Vehicle been in dealer shop on several occasions, and informed consumer that nothing was wrong.

If you look on the internet, you will find that this is not an isolated case. There are probably hundreds of people with the same problem ( truck vibrates, especially when braking). Toyota insists that this is normal.
Dealer said "no defects found".
The brakes on this truck are bad alot of people are having trouble with this truck when you brake they vibrate the whole front end.this problem is bad in the rain and when it is really hot outside because it compounds the vibration ..are these safe to drive..I have heard of one brake failure due to these brakes with one injurie.please help tundra owners find a solution.thanks
Probelm is occurring again and is intermittent; dealership says they can't repair what they can't duplicate although it is the same problem as before. No safety defect listed within summary.
