2000 Toyota Tundra limited: I purchased my vehicle when it only had 34,000 miles on it. I now have 98,000 miles on my truck and I have always had brake problems, shaking, pulsating. I have replaced my rotors before and shortly after the same problem was back in no time. I am wondering if there is a recall on the brakes for this particular model. If not there should be. I have been on numerous discussion boards and people still with factory warranties and all or barely over have had there brakes overhauled at no charge.

Shuttering during braking causing excessive wheel play and loss of brake power. Toyota replaced fronts in 05/2001 at 20000 and now at 40000 it is happening again. Toyota needs to recall the brake problem and solve the issue for all Tundra owners.

Brakes had to be replaced at approx 18,000 miles due to severe vibration in steering wheel and brake pedal when applying brakes, especially at highway speeds. By the time vehical had reached 45000 miles, the brakes had been replaced six (6) additional times, and for the same reason. Dealership very cooperative and has advised me that Toyota knows there is a problem with brakes on Tundra and has assigned a "techniqal team " to solve the problem.what do I and other Tundra owners, especially those with vehicals out of warrenty like mine, do until the brake problem is solved. Toyota customer relation office in cincinnati unhelpful and provided misinformation to both wife and myself.

Since we have purchased this truck we have had the brakes replaced three times. This has been done in a period of 6 months. We have a substantial amount of money invested in this vehicle and now the warranty will be running out soon forcing us to absorb the cost of replacing brakes every 15000 miles. We are very unhappy and have no direction to go.
