Vibration near front of 2002 Toyota Tundra access cab, most noticeable at 25-40mph without and with brakes applied. The vibration duration oscillates in direct proportion to the vehicle speed. And lasts from once per two seconds to twice per second. Have taken to dealer (don jacobs, wi) 4 or 5 times without satisfaction. Dealer has not been able to diagnose the cause, and recommended new tires to circumvent the Wisconsin lemon law, which allows consumers to return a vehicle if the problem cannot be alleviated after multiple attempts to be corrected. Problem less noticeable after replacement of tires, but has since gotten worse. Not an engine problem, as I have shifted into neutral to vary the engine speed with no change in the symptoms. I have owned 3 other Toyota prior to this one, but I believe this will be my last unless I receive some satisfaction. I submitted the vehicle problem to Toyota on a survey they sent me and have never received a reply. I guess they don't want our continued business.

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.
