Brake Disc Pads problems of the 2001 Toyota Tundra

Toyota Tundra brake issue. My truck brakes start to pulse at all speed while attempting to stop. I have inside the last two years replaces three sets of front brake pads and rotors. This is particularly frightening while apply the brakes exiting the freeway on wet roads the brakes don't seem to want to stop the truck in a straight line and the front end has a tendency to jump and drift to one side of the road. I have made several attempts my self having the brakes repaired by qualified mechanic and even to blame the brakes on one mechanic that he did not know what he was doing I have since found that he did know what he was doing he just did knot know about the Toyota Tundra brake issue history as I did not know as well till now. Each time the mechanic blamed it on the driving habits. This is not the case, as the last time I had my brakes worked on was just last year in November and found that the brakes have done the same thing in less time then in the past. In addition the mechanic found that the pulsing of the front end had damaged the front end which cost over $3,000. 00 to fix. Its just now after the Toyota gas peddle issue came to light that I started to do some research and found that this has been happening for over 8 years with the Toyota Tundras all over the country. This is a real issue with the Tundra year 2001.

Original owner of 2001 Toyota Tundra. Needed new front brake pads at 45k miles, needed front rotors turned at 60k miles, performed by Toyota. Now 6k miles later, it needs rotors turned again due to repeat warpage. Toyota has been aware of this design defect, technical service bulletins have been issued, yet no recalls have been issued. Another bulletin was in place for the defective rear brake adjuster, which will not keep rear brakes adjusted over time, causing additional stress on the undersized front brake system. I contacted the national consumer hotline at Toyota. They will not do anything for this problem. The brake system is unsafe. A recall should be issued before someone is injured.

: the contact stated the brake pads and rotors were too small for the vehicle. The rotors were machined three times. The problem reoccurred after only two months. When the brake were applied, the whole front end wobbled and shook. The dealership was made aware of the problem.

There is vibration in the steering system, when applying brakes most noticable when braking from speeds over 45 mph or on down hills. I have had the brake pads replaced, rotors turned, and the problem returned in a few weeks. I asked Toyota dealership to repair, they refused, the vehicle is out of warranty. I'm the original owner.

I have brake problems. I have less than 36000 and my brake pad needed to be replaced. I have also had a abnormal vibration in the truck when applying the brakes. This has been the case since I purchased the vechilce new. Thought it was normal for the truck but guess not. Toyota is paying for the parts ,and I'm paying for labor to replace rotors, pads, calipers to resolve the issue. Costing me $400.

I am 2nd owner of truck for 2 yr. 1st owner had brake shutter on stopping, and took to dealer. They wanted to replace frt pads/surface rotors. They wanted $300. 00 more than anyone to fix. Had brakes replaced at local garage. I bought truck, and had shutter in brakes, called dealer, and they said that after 36k miles they would fix the brakes for $2000-$2500. 00, and now there is a TSB for the rear brakes, and that will cost another $1500. 00. They said that this is not a "Toyota problem", and the customer should bear the cost to fix truck. Truck has 58k miles, and not used for hauling loads. The mfg. Should replace problem parts, and no charge repairs.

2001 Toyota Tundra brakes shake excessively even after replacing them with new ones. Transmission makes a loud thump when going into overdrive.

The brakes on the 2000 to 2003 Toyota Tundra overheatthe rotors warp, and pads wear 3 times faster there is finally a TSB on the brakes they now have a new improved caliper. This should be a recall they try to get you through the warrenty period and turn there backs on you. There are many people with the same problem at 39,000 miles I need$ 1,500 of work and Toyota says to bad the vibration is so bad I dont want to drive it it is not safe for the road these calipers are a bad design. There is a new part # for the new type. Also the rear brakes 2000-2001 the stare adjuster is a bad design and a TSB is out to fix please help.

: the contact stated that on several occasions while driving 50 mph on normal conditions and than applying the brakes, the vehicle shimmies and bounces in an up and down motion until the brakes are released. The vehicle was taken to the dealer when problems first occurred where the brake pads and rotors were replaced however problem has gradually worsened over time. The manufacturer determined there was a recall pertaining to the characteristics on the vehicle however the VIN was not included in the recall.

2001 Toyota Tundra brake problem. Severe shaking of vehicle do to brakes. Rotors feel warped. Gone through 4 sets of pads and resurfaced rotors 3 timesi n the last 2 years. Tech serve bulliten available but only for 36000/3yr im at 50000/but only 1 1/2. . . $2000 for the repairs and on top of that I spent quite a bit ofmoney already for the rotor resurfacing and brake pads. I was a Toyota fan until this. . . .

I have a 2001 Toyota Tundra and have had constant problems with my brakes. There is strong vibration when using the brakes. I have had it "fixed" twice by Toyota and once by and independent mechanic and the problem comes back every time. There is a TSB on the truck but no recall. Toyota customers were not even informed of the TSB.

Vehicle still shutters& vibrates when applying brakes after 2 times into dealer for warranty repair work. The dealer says that there is no problem. They replaced all brake pads and drums the first time and turned the rear drums the second time.
