The vehicles brake rotors and drums were warped and caused extended stopping distance when braking. There was a vibration when braking, the tire seemed to be worn on the inside, the A/C made a noise when turned on high, and the front seat belt did not retract at times.

My 2000 Toyota Tundra has a considerable shaking problem when the brakes are applied. I have had the brakes serviced, but the problem returned shortly afterward. I have also had a front wheel bearing fail, all within 60,000 miles.

Toyota Tundra 2000. Recurrent brake vibration after numerous attempts of fixing problem.

I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra. From day one the brakes have had a brake vibration problem. I have had my truck worked on five times and the problem has not been corrected. Looking on the internet I found this is a design problem with this model of truck and a recall is in order. The brake calipers are undersized. It feels like the rotors are warped but this is not the problem. Please advise me on what options I have. I do not know if this design flaw has caused complete failures resulting in crashes.

Braking caused excessive vibration in the steering wheel. I could loose control during emergency braking.

Bad vibration (shudder) on applying brakes. Since this occurs at no other time, it appears to be a front brake problem. The dealer installed the Toyota tsb "fix" for this in October 2002, but the truck continues to exhibit unsafe braking behavior. *****dims 11 IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****769321.

Brakes make entire vehicle shudder strongly if used in mountainous regions where higher use rates cause the system to over heat. Toyota of easily claims that as a tsb only, they are not required to do out-of-warranty repairs. I noticed the problems within warranty but did not make a report to my dealer. I asked if they would sell me the parts at cost. No. I emailed Toyota national customer service and asked the same question. No response. I feel like this is a safety defect that should be a recall not a tsb. If there was not an engineering flaw, why do they have new calipers and backing plates for the tsb? they should at least provide these parts at cost to out-of-warranty consumers, rather than at their inflated list price of nearly $1,000 (parts only).

When the brake was applied, the vehicle experienced extended stopping distance.

When traveling at speeds of 40 mph, consumer states' the brakes were applied and there was a lot of vibration. Took to dealer and they replaced the front disc brakes.
