I have a 1996 4runner and I have noticed that it vibrates when I brake hard, especially when I go downhill. I can feel it in the steering wheel. When I applied the brakes my truck started shaking like a earthquake. It was very serious. I almost lost control and I could have died. It only has about 70,000 miles on it. Brake pads are ok.
