1 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2009

The frame of my 2000 Toyota Tundra is rusted out to the point of being unsafe to drive. Large, solid chunks of rusted steel come off by hand. Others pieces fall off onto the driveway when you close the door too hard. It's a shame, too because everything else runs great and I wanted to keep the truck to give to my son when he gets his license, but it is now a safety hazard, unfit to drive.

2 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 08/19/2004

Bought a 2000 Tundra with 49000 miles on it and intended to use it as a work truck. The second day I had the truck it started to vibrate when stopping at above 50 miles per hour. The next day I had about 900 pounds of printing ink in the back and had to make a fairly quick stop on the freeway. Even though I had given myself plenty of room, I was barely able to avoid an accident due to the severe vibration in the steering wheel,it really shook me up. I went to Toyota and they refuse to do a thing cause the warranty is up and I am not the origenal owner. Some thing should be done before someone gets hurt. There is a problem here!.

3 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2003

The brakes began to cause vibration when slowing or stopping the truck. This started around 35,000 miles. The rotors were re-surfaced and the brake pads replaced. At about 45,000 miles the brakes were causing the truck to shake excessively once again. The rotors were re-surfaced and the braking was smooth for about 8,000 miles. At about 60,000 miles I was forced to buy new rotors due to the truck vibrating excessively when slowing or stopping. The brakes on this truck are not robust enough for the vehicle weight as the rotors are warping prematurely and the brake pads are wearing unevenly with normal driving.
