| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have brought my 2000 toyota tundra up for a brake inspection repeatedly since nov 03 for vibrations when brakes were applied. since november 2003 is when all of this vibration started. i had my rotors turned in nov 03 after 4,718 miles for vibration when brakes were applied, pads replaced and rotors turned after i felt vibrations when brakes were applied in mar 04 after 5,345 miles, july 04 3,961 more miles i turned my car in once again for vibration when brakes were applied service manager 1 told me my front brake pads were worn and rotors need turning. dec 04 i brought my truck in again after 5,055 more miles for vibration when brakes were applied. the rear brake shoes were replaced and drums turned. after a few weeks this problem came back again and each time it costs me hundreds of dollars and i keep having the repeat problem. on feb 16 06 i called to schedule a check of my brakes. i asked the service manager why do i keep having this vibration since i've owned the car? service manager 2 responded, " there was an upgrade to the defective front brake calipers in september 03, do you have an extended warranty?" i told him i did have an extended warranty when i brought my vehicle in repeatedly and your company didn't fix the problem, only the symptom. a service manager said, "it would have been covered if you had an extended warranty." i immediately asked to speak with the store manager and he just left for the day. i schedule an appointment with the head manager. the head manager denied the upgrade in the beginning of our conversation but later change his mind after speaking with service manager. my braking system on my 2000 toyota tundra is less than adequate. my front end of my vehicle shakes violently when brakes are applied, my exterior mirrors steering wheel, occupants in vehicle shake as well as the contents which may be on the seats. it is very difficult to stop at speeds over 50 mph. *nm |
