2002 Toyota double cab 4x4 during mountain driving, my front brakes will make the truck shake. I would describe the feeling like bad abs, however, I do not have abs. This problem only seems to occur when I am going downhill (like loveland pass). The shuttering does not depend on the speed of deceleration. Once it starts it seem to be there until the brakes have plenty of cooling time. I had it into the dealer and they could not find anything wrong with it or get it to do it. However last time I was in for other repairs, the service manager mentioned that 2000-2003 tundra's had a service bulletin for a similar problem but there was not one for the Tacoma. I tried to look up information to see if the braking systems consisted of the same components, but was unsuccessful.

I have a Tacoma 2002 and the brakes have been replaced three times. Although I have called and explained the sometimes they slip, Toyota refuses to really look at them. I wanted to file this in case they do give while I am driving, there will be a record of this problem, since I have mentioned it several times to Toyota but they never write it down, according to the newest customer service? person I spoke to. I have been told that the clunking noises, the 5 month brake changes and the slipping of the brakes is natural. This cannot be right.
