| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 toyota tundra that has had front brake problems. at 19,000 miles i had to have discs turned and again at 38,000 miles disc warpage caused a needed replacement of discs. upon going on internet and doing a search i found many owners of the tundra had the same problem. their solution was to go to the dealer and inform them of the problem, which i did and they agreed to replace the calipers on the front brakes and i paid for labor. problem solved for about 8,000-9,000 miles and warpage has occurred again. i feel this should have been a recall since the dealer recognized the problem and the manufacturer agreed to pay for parts, since there was 6 or 7 service bulletins on the vibration of the front brakes. i was told had i gone to the dealer first that they would have replaced the whole thing as a repair, which under normal circumstances brakes are a maintenance issue not a design flaw. *la |
