Brakes make entire vehicle shudder strongly if used in mountainous regions where higher use rates cause the system to over heat. Toyota of easily claims that as a tsb only, they are not required to do out-of-warranty repairs. I noticed the problems within warranty but did not make a report to my dealer. I asked if they would sell me the parts at cost. No. I emailed toyota national customer service and asked the same question. No response. I feel like this is a safety defect that should be a recall not a tsb. If there was not an engineering flaw, why do they have new calipers and backing plates for the tsb? They should at least provide these parts at cost to out-of-warranty consumers, rather than at their inflated list price of nearly $1,000 (parts only).
2000 Toyota Tundra brakes complaints
Page 8 of 10: complaints 191 to 220 of 276, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Brake vibrations/shudder/ bounce since about 8000 miles. I now have 45000 on the truck and I have had the truck in multiple times to fix vibrations I feel while braking. The dealership lead tech rode with me and felt the vibrations. They have performed several fixes has toyota released to no avail. I pull a large boat, and at times, I am not very confident in the brakes on my truck. Not exactly the feeling you want when you're pulling 3700 lbs behind you! This will be a possible liability issue if an accident occurs.
When the brake was applied, the vehicle experienced extended stopping distance.
When traveling at speeds of 40 MPH, consumer states' the brakes were applied and there was a lot of vibration. Took to dealer and they replaced the front disc brakes. Please provide any further information. Ts
When driving at high speeds and brakes are applied vehicle shakes. The shake gets worse when vehicle is going down an incline. The manufacturer is aware of problem and has issued a service bulletin, but this does not solve the problem. Please provide more details. Ts
Bad vibration (shudder) on applying brakes. Since this occurs at no other time, it appears to be a front brake problem. The dealer installed the toyota tsb "fix" for this in october 2002, but the truck continues to exhibit unsafe braking behavior. *****dims 11 ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****769321.
Brake problems from day one. Replaced all brake parts less than one year ago. Brakes stopped working 10-15-02 with no warning. No stopping ability at all took truck to dealer. Dealer said major brake failure having much trouble with tundra brakes are too small for truck. Would not tell what parts changed. Dt
Consumer states that the vehicle has a vibration in the steering while applying the brakes. Vehicle been to the dealer on six occasion. Has the front rotors turns twice, pads replaced, and both rear drums replaced yet the problem still reoccurs within every 8,000 miles. Nlm
Consumer states that when trying to apply the brakes they can hear a loud noise and the brake pedal will go to the floor causing the vehicle to have extended stopping distance. Nlm
Major brake pulsation, especially when slowing down at freeway speeds to exit. Dealer has replaced the front pads, front rotors, rear shoes, rear drums, rear star wheel automatic adjusters. This is the third time since the truck was new that the brakes have started pulsating so bad that I'm becoming afraid to drive the truck at freeway speeds. Toyota's tsb to fix the problems doesn't last any longer than 5,000 miles. Ts
Rotors, drums, pads and shoes replaced at 12,000 miles and 34000 miles after developing severe vibration. These were replaced under warranty. At 40,000 miles severe vibration developed in rear end. At 54,000 miles severe vibration developed in front end. Found out that rotors are warped. Mr
Brakes need to be reviewed. Toyota is buying time on this issue.will not adress this problem and needs to be addresed by a recall www.tundrasolutions.com reports a lot of tundra with brakes problem however toyota sayes nothings wrong.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Vibrating brakes, dealer has replaced rotors and drums with shoes and pads six times now.
Braking system wears out very quickly, thus causing inconsistent braking/vibrations. Rotors and drums wear out after about 5-7kmi of use.
Rear brake drums are warped, and there is pulsation inside of pedal. Dealership is aware of problem.
Brakes wear excessively. Dealer cannot find caus eor fix problem.
Brake rotors had a chronic warping problem. Has had vehicle for 2 years, and had rotors replaced 6 times. Dealer advised consumer that manufacturer was aware that rotors were inadequate.
There is a constant vibration when the brakes are applied. The dealer claims that they could not duplicate the problem. The vibration continued immediately after the service visit. It is more than an annoyance, especially scary at highway speeds.
Rear drums warped...again. This is third set replacement. Now these are warped. Toyota will not honor continued support. Last set replaced by ntb.
Brakes vibrate and truck shakes bad, dealer says they will charge me to turn rotors and put in new pads. After going to your web site I see that there are alot of complaints on the same vehicle about the exact same problem. This is not safe and I would like an update on the fix for the problem please. How can these dealers charge people to fix a problem that is not there fault?
Consumers vehicle is experiencing vibration when braking, the front pads and back adjusters struts have been replaced, also the rotors and rear drums have been resurfaced.
Theres is strong vibration when braking. It's very hard to steer. Please provide any further information.
My toyota tundra had warranty work performed on the front disc brakes and rear drum brakes @ 27,000 miles. Now at 40,000 the vibration problem has come back, same as before. My truck is now out of warranty and toyota claims I have to pay for my next visit to the dealer....and for what, the same parts as before! I have read on many web sites (www.tundrasolutions.com) about the brake vibration problems with this truck I don't understand why there is not an investigation going on and why no recall??? I am very concerned because I use this truck daily in high traffic areas...about 100 miles a day. Please help!
Vehicle vibration, front disc warping and rear-drum failure.
The brakes vibrate very badly upon braking.
While driving brakes locked up and vehicle slid, resulting in a collision. Took vehicle to the dealer. Also, experienced some very erratic vibration while in traffic. Please provide any further information.
I took the truck to van trow toyota in monroe, la due to the front end shaking when braking. The truck had around 15000 miles on it at the time. The service department took the truck for a ride and then looked at it in the shop. I was told that that brakes where not covered under warranty and that I should take it to midas because they would fix the problem cheaper then toyota. The guys at midas said the rear brakes where not working and that the truck was stopping on just the front brakes. Midas adjusted the rear brakes, replaced the front pads, and turned the front rotors. I was charged around $200. The truck now has almost 30,000 miles and I am having the same problem with it again. I am going to take it to toyota and see if they will do anything but I do not expect them to. This is my first toyota and it may be my last. If I can not get this fixed soon then I may be looking for a new truck. Maybe that is what toyota needs to hear so they will fix the problem.
Vibration in front end, brake drums wraped, toyota said there is not solution to the brake problem.
Consumer states that the front rotors have been replaced twice, and now needs to be replaced for a third time due to warpage, consumer was informed by mechanic that this is a known problem with the alloy chosen for the rotors.
