Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2001 tundra truck has only 80,000 miles and for the second time the calipers and braking system are having to be redone. this starts with severe vibrations in the steering wheel when applying the brakes. if on an incline, the vibration can be so bad it is difficult to hold the steering and stop. you have to release the brake to relieve the vibration and then re-apply quickly. the local toyota dealership is fixing this problem for the second time and i do not have the old parts. the first time this happened was around 37629 miles in may of 2003, now it has happened again at 80800 miles in september 2005. *nm
