This has been occurring for some time now and is related to my breaks. at first not so bad but is becoming much worse over the last year and a half. let me describe as i did to my toyota service center last week before my last service and multi point inspection. when i am on the highway and i apply the breaks to slow the vehicle the steering wheel violently jumps back and forth in my hands. the harder i apply brake pressure the worse it gets. i just returned from a trip with some friends golfing. we traveled from cumming, ga to huntsville, al. this was chronic and getting a bit scary. we purchased the truck new and it has only about 40,000 miles. i take good care of the vehicle but this is not good. we (my wife and i) are making a trip to green bay, wi to visit family and friends. this is serious and should be fixed. it feels unsafe. our current service center is beaver toyota of cumming ga. we are leaving june 6, 2019 to travel to green bay..... it would be nice it were fixed before we leave!j my telephone (cell) is (xxxxxx) please call. parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
Warped rotors at 30k miles, now again at 43k, dealer will not acknowledge complaint, my 2011 had same issue brakes repaired under warranty . when downhill or hard brake, steering wheel will vibrate when brakes are applied. dealer confirmed pads are still good but rotor warped.
Took truck in for 25,000 maintenance ,dealership said brakes are 50% remaining. at 30,000 miles breaks are metal to metal,dealership refused to tow or do repairs and now are stating i declined towing and repairs.vehicles has been in a wreck, i believe the result of the brakes.called dealership 6 times trying to get repairs done correctly but never received a call back.i believe they committed fraud in maintenance and negligence and telling me the vehicle was safe to drive. vehicle is still under factory warranty.
My stepson was pulling into the driveway, he stopped, then the toyota tacoma lunged forward crashing into our garage. i had noticed since leasing the truck in july of 2015, that once in a while i would come to a stop and it felt like i just got rear ended but nobody was behind me.
Sitting at a dead cold stop. after approximately 3 minutes - brakes just released with me standing on the pedal - allowing me to roll into the vehicle in front of me. my vehicle impacted the rear of the vehicle in front of me at approximately 5mph. i was literally screaming and standing on the brake pedal - zero effect. i felt no loss of hydraulic pressure or mechanical feedback through the pedal at anytime. it's as if the calipers all just released with me on the pedal the whole time.
When driving over 50 mph on highway and brakes are applied the steering wheel shakes violently. this has happened since the vehicle was new. dealer said it was the tires. he replaced them and the shaking stopped for almost a year. tires were replaced again and shaking stopped for almost a year then resumed. no shaking occurs at speeds under 40 mph when brakes were applied. most of my driving occurs below 40 moh.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 toyota tacoma. while driving approximately 10 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle continued to accelerate. the emergency brake was engaged however, the vehicle slightly scraped the concrete driveway wall. there was no personal injury. there was minor damage to the front bumper. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who replaced both the brake actuator and master cylinder. the bumper was not replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 9,000.
On multiple occasions the abs system appears to be overly sensitive, causing extremely low braking power. this is beyond the normal characteristics of abs systems in other cars. the system virtually eliminates any ability to slow or stop the vehicle. even when a single wheel has lost traction, all wheels will be pulsed to the point of no braking power. many others with several model years of trucks have the same issues. some have disabled the system and experienced better braking. even though steering control may be improved, in this truck, stopping power has been virtually eliminated.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 toyota tacoma. while the engine was running and the brake pedal was depressed, the brake pedal traveled to the floor. the failure would not occur when the engine was off. the dealer stated that the failure was normal. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 200. updated 03/15/17*lj *cn
