Rear differential and brake housing left and right are rotting from the outside. Large parts of the differential housing are already missing! front transfer case and transmission are perfect! entire rear trans-axle is rotting from the outside. Emergency brake adjustment turnbuckle is rotting. *structural mounts for the emergency brake are rotted. Steel in the frame and most factory welds are DE-laminating. *brackets holding the brake line and junctions are rotting. *capture plate and hardware holding spare tire in place are rotted. I will need a cutting torch to remove the spare tire. I have excellent photos to send. Respectfully, dennis degen.
2004 Toyota Tundra with 44000 miles has developed a brake problem. Air repeatedly gets into the brake lines with no loss of fluid causing the brake pedal to go to the floor when braking. The Tundra has been at the dealer for four months trying to be repaired, the Toyota rep has visited on five separate occasions, called the factory engineers and it is still not fixed! repairs cost to date are over $3500, Toyota picked up $2,000 leaving me out of pocket $1500+ and a truck that has a defective braking system that must be bled every 75 miles to remain drivable. This problem started in mid January 2008.
