problem #1

Jun 012004

Tundra 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 17,500 miles
The consumer complained about a brake problem. At first the front brakes caused the vehicle to shutter when they were applied. Then the brakes faded out, causing the vehicle to not stop in time. The consumer felt that the weight of the vehicle was too much for the brakes. The consumer found that the problem was due to the brakes wearing out too quickly. The front brakes have been replaced once under warranty. Also, the rotors and pads were replaced. The problem first started in June 2004 and at 15,000-20,000 miles. The problem almost caused several accidents. The manufacturer issued five technical service bulletins (tsb) for the front brakes. They had a brake upgrade available for the vehicle. They refused to fix the vehicle under warranty. (11/15/05)
