Brakes Failed problems of the 2000 Toyota Tundra

The contact owns 2000 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the brakes failed. In addition, the contact discovered rust on the frame. The vehicle was repaired under NHTSA recall campaign id number: 09v444000 (structure: frame and members: underbody shields). The contact believed there was an association between the brake failure and the frame rust and stated that the recall repair was inadequate. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 160,000.

Brake failure on 2000 Toyota Tundra caused by excessive rusting of frame, cross member and proportioning valve mount. Lost all braking ability when exiting i89 southbound exit 18 in georgia, vermont. Narrowly avoided a vehicle stopped in front of me and another oncoming vehicle at the intersection of i89 and us route 7. I reported this event to Toyota that same morning and was issued a case number. Advised to contact local Toyota dealer for immediate inspection. Inspection revealed conditions listed at beginning of this statement and significant flaking/loss of metal on main rails of frame. Told by service manager that truck could not be repaired without inspection of vehicle by Toyota regional rep. The following Monday (brake failure occurred on the preceding Friday), local dealer provided me with a rental vehicle and advised me that the end decision on my vehicle was to replace the cross member and proportioning valve. Vehicle had not been inspected by regional rep. And service manager could not provide me with an estimated completion date for the work due to lack of a part number for the cross member. I learned of prior knowledge of this problem by Toyota and others when researching on the internet. Also learned that recall notices were to be mailed nlt end of January 2010 (Toyota statement). Toyota rep admitted this was not done and recall letters have still not gone out to owners.

Bought my 2000 Tundra 6 years ago, I have had it in the shop every 6 months for brake work, I have had a total of 3 sets of rotors on it, about every 12k miles the vehicle shakes badly when braking. It is now in the shop again today and shop says it needs rotors again. I do not understand how everyday normal driving cause the brake system to fail. I understand this is a widespread problem with the Toyota Tundra and brake systems.

Premature front rotor and brake system failure. Front rotors are engineered to thin causing severe warping with strong possibility for complete failure. Standard manufacturer pars last 2,000 to 6,000 miles before failure.

I recently purchased a 2000 Toyota Tundra and had no idea of the problems to come. I had an accident with the Tundra, who's brakes failed to stop the truck. I was able to quickly use the emergency brakes, but made no difference. I hit and damaged my garage door. I did some research and found out that many complaints have been filed because of brake problems on the Tundra. I also found out that I have to spent a lot of money to repair or replace the brake system. I am very disappointed with Toyota not being able to help resolve this important problem. I have two children and my wife who's life is at stake now. We have been using the truck quite extensively, but for now, the truck is in park until we decide what to do with it. I believed in Toyota living up to their name, but now. I lost confidence in their product. Toyota has failed to take into serious consideration the safety of my family.

Dt:the contact owned a 2000 Toyota Tundra. Ever 15,000 mile brakes had to be replaced, including the rotors twice. The contact stated that vehicle vibrated. The contact was afraid that vehicle will hit somebody because of brake failure. The manufacturer told him that they were aware of the problem. However, they will not do anything because warranty expired. The contact stated he did not haul heavy loads with this vehicle, and could not understand why the brakes failed. Had the brakes replaced five times with only 67,000 miles on the vehicle. The first time contact took the vehicle to dealer he thought it was the tires.

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.
