| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 toyota tundra access cab sr5 purchased new. there has been no complete failure yet, but quite often the front brakes shudder so bad when i apply them hard it feels almost like a speed wobble on a motorcycle. it has gotten so violent at times that i have had to grab the wheel with both hands as tight as i can. the lions share of my driving is on the freeway and as i am aware of the problem i do my best to maintain a safe distance from others. knowing that toyota does their best to push the issue aside (i have read the tsb and all the complaints) i have never even contacted them about this issue. i have put 4 sets of pads on in just over 120 miles so i don't think they wear out any faster than any other brands but from what i have read, there are no replacement discs or pads available that are any better. i know the rotors are warped but not worn out. i have learned to live with the problem but this issue is serious enough that i won't be buying another one. there are 5 other full size truck mfgs. out there. *jb |
