This is not a failure but, is a great safety concern. Problem Toyota is aware of and reoccurs. Severe brake vibrations on down grade with load at higher speeds. 55-60mph. Tundrasolution web site shows others have this same problem and not corrected properly. Something that goes past warranty. Factory problem.

This is the second time my brake system has had to be replaced due to vibrations and warpage that almost caused a wreck.

Manufacturer defect with rear brake drums and front rotors and pads. Vehicle began vibrating badly when applying brakes. Dealer replaced rear drum, front brakes and rotors at approx. 6000 miles. Now at approx. 25k miles, same problem has returned. With only 11k miles more warranty left, will Toyota continue to replace these defective components past the warranty? I think not. Something needs to be done to force Toyota to address this known problem.

Front disc brake vibration @ all speeds, four wheel drive is very poor when traction of one or more wheels is lost; wheel that loses traction spins while other wheel will not turn.

The Tundra brakes needs a recall Toyota has knowen info on this topic and has done nothing to improve this issue.

The failure was not instantaneous, it was an ongoing severe vibration problem.

No summary listed for above vehicle. (dot number: b7jc dc7x tiresize: 265/70 r16).

Front discs warp and require changing approximately every 12,000 miles. The vehicle shakes violently upon braking as the mileage approaches 12,000 miles on the new set of discs, creating an unsafe condition. Toyota should be held accountable to recall this vehicle and correct the problem.

Rack and pinion steering failure, causing front tires to wear excessively. Front brakes would grab/vibrate when vehicle got hot, and brakes were applied. Vehicle been in dealer shop on several occasions, and informed consumer that nothing was wrong. Vehicle taken to an independent repair shop, and it informed consumer of rack and pinion steering problem. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.

Vehicle shakes while braking, consumer states vibration is also felt in steering wheel and pulsation is felt in brake pedal, vehicle is brought to dealer every 4-5 thousand miles, with no success in correcting problem, 2 TSB's were done on vehicle, br 006-00 and br 003-00, still no resolution.

Dealer said "no defects found".

Within 4000 miles of purchase of vehicle, it developed severe vibration during braking. Vehicle currently has 28000 miles on it and is on its third full set of brake rotors and drums. New rotors/drums seem to only provide 1000-4000 miles of smooth braking before vibration sets in again. Dealers fixing vehicle say vibration is due to heat induced warping of rotors and drums. Once parts are warped, vibrations get so severe it feels almost as if the rear end of the vehicle is hopping up and down during hard braking. I believe this defect greatly increases critical stopping distance. Manufacturer has not provided "permanent" fix for this defect, they have only replaced warped parts with new parts of same design. Soon vibration sets in again. Vehicle will soon be out of warranty.

Please read e-mail sent 01 may 2000 to this e-mail address. No safety defect listed within the summary.

While braking vehicle vibrates and shakes which may cause extended stopping distance, and result in a crash. Dealer said poor brakes. Please provide further information.

The brakes on this truck are bad alot of people are having trouble with this truck when you brake they vibrate the whole front end. This problem is bad in the rain and when it is really hot outside because it compounds the vibration . . Are these safe to drive. . I have heard of one brake failure due to these brakes with one injurie. Please help Tundra owners find a solution. Thanks.

While driving at any speed the vehicle vibrated. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the brakes and disc brakes needed to be replaced. However, problem recurred.

Under heavy braking down hill at 60 mph the vehicle vibrated rapidly. I do not have anti-lock brakes, but there was heavy vibration with the brakes.

Intermittent front brake vibration problem. Dealer refuses to fix it.

Vibrating brakes, dealer has replaced rotors and drums with shoes and pads six times now.

Braking system wears out very quickly, thus causing inconsistent braking/vibrations. Rotors and drums wear out after about 5-7kmi of use.

There is a constant vibration when the brakes are applied. The dealer claims that they could not duplicate the problem. The vibration continued immediately after the service visit. It is more than an annoyance, especially scary at highway speeds.

The brakes vibrate very badly upon braking.

I took the truck to van trow Toyota in monroe, la due to the front end shaking when braking. The truck had around 15000 miles on it at the time. The service department took the truck for a ride and then looked at it in the shop. I was told that that brakes where not covered under warranty and that I should take it to midas because they would fix the problem cheaper then Toyota. The guys at midas said the rear brakes where not working and that the truck was stopping on just the front brakes. Midas adjusted the rear brakes, replaced the front pads, and turned the front rotors. I was charged around $200. The truck now has almost 30,000 miles and I am having the same problem with it again. I am going to take it to Toyota and see if they will do anything but I do not expect them to. This is my first Toyota and it may be my last. If I can not get this fixed soon then I may be looking for a new truck. Maybe that is what Toyota needs to hear so they will fix the problem.

Brake pads/ rotors and drums are prematurely wearing, cause unknown. Please give any further details.

When vehicle is driven down a hill and when brakes are applied extreme vibration occurs within brake pedal, cause unknown. Please give any further details.

Strong vibration when brakes are applied, car not driven severely or abused, first noted mild vibration at less than 5000 miles.

Brakes had to be replaced at approx 18,000 miles due to severe vibration in steering wheel and brake pedal when applying brakes ,especially at highway speeds. By the time vehical had reached 45000 miles, the brakes had been replaced six (6) additional times,and for the same reason. Dealership very cooperative and has advised me that Toyota knows there is a problem with brakes on Tundra and has assigned a "techniqal team " to solve the problem. What do I and other Tundra owners, especially those with vehicals out of warrenty like mine,do until the brake problem is solved. Toyota customer relation office in cincinnati unhelpful and provided misinformation to both wife and myself.

When brake pedal was depressed it made a squeaking noise, and front end vibrated. As a result, vehicle failed to stop immediately. This caused extended stopping distance. The dealership replaced the front brakes due to excessive brake deterioration. They also adjusted the rear brakes because they began to warp.

Rear drum and front disc brakes and rotors had to be replaced since date of purchase. Vehicle vibrates when brake pedal is pressed. This happens on wet and dry roads. Brakes have been repaired five times.

I have had the brakes replaced twice on this car once at 8k miles and again at 14k I am alerting you of this problem as I have seen many others with the same problem.

Also, front brakes were replaced seven time due manufacturer's design flaw.
