problem #1

Jan 122008

Tundra 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 79,000 miles
The contact owns a 2001 Toyota Tundra. The contact had to replace the brakes in August of 2007. In November, the vehicle was taken back to the dealer because an adjustment was needed. Recently, the contact's husband heard grinding noises coming from the tire area while driving 60 mph. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the bearing completely failed. The technician stated that whoever worked on the brakes set the rotors too low, causing the bearing to malfunction. The purchase date and powertrain were unknown. The current mileage was 80,350 and failure mileage was 79,000.
