Brakes began shaking about two months after I first bought the truck. I went on an extended road trip and at one point, when going down a grade, my brakes began to shake so violently that I thought I might lose control. I had to pull of the road and inspect my brakes! when I returned from my trip, I replaced the pads and turned the rotors. This was about 2 months ago, and I am beginning to experience the same problem.

Vehicle vibrates when brakes are applied at freeway speeds. I have taken the vehicle to two dealerships, six different times and problem is still there. The following has been replaced several times. Rotors, calipers, bearings, rear drums and brake pads. The rotors have been replaced twice because they warped in two weeks time. Last dealer told me that their tech. Could not find what the problem was and that someone from Toyota would have to come test drive with me. I am concerned that the vibration will become a safety issue.

40 mph. Driving down lookout mountain. Riding the brakes. Shaking so bad, I thought I might wreck. Scared me and my family very much. Dealer will not fix under warranty. Dealer "fixed brakes" 12,000 miles ago. Truck has 24,000 miles on odometer. Heard from other Tundra owners this is a very common problem.
