| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: From day one when i purchased my toyota tundra on 9/30/02 i have had a problem with the brakes. i brought the truck back 2 days later to tell the salesman that i felt that the brakes "shuttered" when the vehicle was driven in city traffic conditions and braking distance was increased the more that i drove the vehicle. they checked the truck that day and i was told that it was fine. now, almost 3 years later with only 27,000 miles the brakes are worn and the rotors have to be replaced. the dealer says that the brakes are not covered but they might replace the rotors. i see that there is a history with the rotors warping and causing the pads to fail prematurely. i don't understand how toyota can sit back with a blind eye when clearly there is a problem with the braking system. *nm |
