We have classified the 2 complaints from 2001 Toyota Tundra about SERVICE BRAKES, AIR into the following categories.
Brake problems. vibration in truck when using the brakes. 60,000 miles and going on second set of brakes/rotors trying to eliminate the problem. something is not right with this truck. *tr
My tundra is a 2001 and it has just under 36,000 miles. the brakes cause the front end to shake severely. i replaced the pads about a month ago but the problem seems to have gotten worse. i understand from other sites that the standard brake system for the tundra is inadequate. i'll probably just get rid of the truck instead of fighting with the dealer to have it fixed. this really muddies the toyota reputation for me. guess i'll go back to europe to get my next vehicle.
Just like another consumer listed i too had a failed transmission. the cost to repair was around $3,100.00. a barely 4 yr old truck should not have lost a transmission already. we own a 1970 model chev p/u that has never had a transmission. the quality of toyota has not stood up to the cost of the "better" manufactured vehicle. i am truly disapointed in the quality, one of the handles in the back has stripped out and is about to fall off, the back dirver's window lock has broken and flops in the wind when the window is open. i am also experiencing the very same brake shutter has other consumers and i just paid for a $450.00 brake job with new rotors and pads and still have the shutter. now after reading these other reports i am concerned about reliability of my truck.*ak
my 2001 tundra vibrates and pulsates when braking. i have had brake pads installed and the rotors turned 3 time in the last four months. but the problem is still there. because of this problem i have been in an accident. thank god i wasn't injured. i have heard and read about other tundra owners having the same problem. when will they make toyota recall the tundra's because of the bad braking system on them? when several people loss their lives. i just it will be the ford incident all over again. *la
