I have brake problems. I have less than 36000 and my brake pad needed to be replaced. I have also had a abnormal vibration in the truck when applying the brakes. This has been the case since I purchased the vechilce new. Thought it was normal for the truck but guess not. Toyota is paying for the parts, and I'm paying for labor to replace rotors, pads, calipers to resolve the issue. Costing me $400.

There is vibration in the steering system, when applying brakes most noticable when braking from speeds over 45 mph or on down hills. I have had the brake pads replaced, rotors turned, and the problem returned in a few weeks. I asked Toyota dealership to repair, they refused, the vehicle is out of warranty. I'm the original owner.

I have had it "fixed" twice by Toyota and once by and independent mechanic and the problem comes back every time.there is a tsb on the truck but no recall.

Vehicle still shutters& vibrates when applying brakes after 2 times into dealer for warranty repair work. The dealer says that there is no problem. They replaced all brake pads and drums the first time and turned the rear drums the second time.
