The rotors on my 2003 Tundra are warping every 1,000 miles or so. This is a known safety problem and Toyota should be responsible for remedying the issue.

The front rotors and pads have had to be replaced four times because of vibration. Consumer was involved in a rear end collision because of the brakes.

3 days after purchase of vehicle the rotors were warped. Brought vehicle back to dealer they pointed out the fact that there was already a recall on the brakes. The dealer installed the recall parts which consisted of new calipers, resurfacing the existing rotors, and various other axle related parts. The recall service did not include new pads. 3 or 4 days after the recall service the brakes were again warped!!! they stopped fine for just driving around town, but when you have to panic stop at freeway speed, they fade badly and then warp rotors. This complaint isn't about warped rotors as much as it is the brake fade at high speeds. Very dangerous doesn't stop well at all. Please consider a larger pad and better proportioning between the front and the back brakes.

Toyota Tundra truck front rotors I had a problem as I bought the new truck. Brakes would pulsate when stopping. I was told from Toyota there was a problem at the factory with warped rotors. Took it to the dealer, and all they did was machine the rotors down. The invoice said"out of round rotors. Im' concerned this could reoccur and cause a real safety problem. I also found a "plug" in my tire. Brand new truck and there was a plug in it. Was told by the dealer they couldn't do anything about it.
