| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Brakes, warped brake discs. have had to replace brake pads on several occasions, as well as having my rotors turned and machined. all mechanics involved have explained that toyota has used inferior/defective brake components on tundra and seqouia vehicles since the 2000 model year. furthermore, it was explained that there should be a recall on these defective parts because of the severity of the problem and the overwhelming occurance of owner complaints. all mechanics have expressed that the replacement of original factory parts will not resolve the problem, and that these parts will only fail again within 6-10 months. the continuous warping of rotors causes severe shaking of vehicle during braking at any speed. this is dangerous and unacceptable. would like to think that toyota would accept their responsibility and replace the affected components, before someone is injured or killed as a result of failure of a notably defective manufacturer installed part or parts.*ak |
