| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I recently bought a ?certified used? 2001 toyota tundra and purchased the extended warranty. within a few months, the truck brakes started acting funky. i took it to the dealership for routine oil change, mentioned the problem, and they said they would adjust the brakes. this helped it brakes for a few more months. the brakes started to get worse and would vibrate the entire truck when braking. i did an internet search and learned of a tsb for toyota tundra braking problem where toyota recognized that the brake calipers were undersized for the truck. i took the truck to the dealer and the warranty covered replacement of the brake calipers and other components, but would not cover the rotors that were damaged by their factory defective braking calipers. i feel that toyota should recall all toyota models with the known braking problem, and reimburse all owners that have had costly repairs. thanks, jay. *jb |
