Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Since this truck was new we have had a problem with the rear brakes. one of the two wheels locks up; causing the truck to pull to whichever side is locking up. we have taken this truck to toyota several times and after spending $100.00 or more they tell me that every thing is fine. the last time they told me it is because it is a 1-ton truck and the fact that we do not have the truck loaded is the problem, as this truck was made to carry a load of 1 ton. i have replaced the rear brake shoes as i was told that there were problems with brake shoes made in that time frame. this did seam to solve the problem for about 6 to seven months. the problem has returned and we had once again tried to get toyota to look into this problem. they will at my expense, and after paying for this the last two times only to be told there is nothing wrong. i am not willing to pay for this again. we have been told that there were problems with the brakes on 1990 toyota trucks but never a recall item. i feel this is a toyota responsible item as it is a hazard on the highway. i am tired of getting no help on this and know i cannot be the only one to have this problem. i am now coming to you for some help in this matter.*ak
