Three problems related to brake sensor have been reported for the 2000 Toyota Tundra. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2000 Toyota Tundra based on all problems reported for the 2000 Tundra.
Due to rust, O2 sensors are bad, exuast system bad, left rear tire ball joint defective, emergency brakes defective, body frame has holes at left side, majority of frame is rusting. Per mechanics all this is stemming from the rust. Truck has low mileage, frame is crumbling in some places and is a danger to drive safely. Just went through inspection. Exact date is unknown as to when this occurred.
Our 2000 Toyota Tundra has continuously let us down in several areas such as; brake vibration, and the emergency brake cam arms are rusted so when releasing the parking brake, the shoes stay engaged, dragging on the brake pads causing warped drums. We have had a cracked exhaust manifold since 35k miles, transmission failure at 63k miles, continuous oxygen sensors issues (including two that fell out), broken sway bar mount, rusted tailgate mounts, and now the extreme frame rust. The truck is being eaten away by rust, causing parts to break and even fall off. Now the extensive frame rust has caused parts to fall off, and break. The latest is the passenger side spring shackle mount that was cracked and flexing, and now has completely broken off allowing the spring to rest along the underside of the body. We are very disappointed because this truck has been completely unreliable; it will not pass inspection and is now completely unsafe to drive.
Continual problem with exhaust manifold leak, drivers side, possibly resulting in oxygen sensor failure. Continual problem with brakes. Dealer claims it would cost between $1,800 and $2,000 for manifold repairs. Private shop wants $650 just for one manifold.
