Toyota TUNDRA problems and owner complaints

BRAKE VIBRATIONS/SHUDDER/ BOUNCE SINCE ABOUT 8000 MILES. I NOW HAVE 45000 ON THE TRUCK AND I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX VIBRATIONS I FEEL WHILE BRAKING. THE DEALERSHIP LEAD TECH RODE WITH ME AND FELT THE VIBRATIONS. THEY HAVE PERFORMED SEVERAL FIXES HAS TOYOTA RELEASED TO NO AVAIL. I PULL A LARGE BOAT, AND AT TIMES, I AM NOT VERY CONFIDENT IN THE BRAKES ON MY TRUCK. NOT EXACTLY THE FEELING YOU WANT WHEN YOU'RE PULLING 3700 LBS BEHIND YOU! THIS WILL BE A POSSIBLE LIABILITY ISSUE IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. *JB

BAD VIBRATION (SHUDDER) ON APPLYING BRAKES. SINCE THIS OCCURS AT NO OTHER TIME, IT APPEARS TO BE A FRONT BRAKE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO FIX HAVE FAILED. DEALER(S) SAID WHEELS OR BRAKES OR TIRES WERE THE PROBLEM. REPLACED WHEELS AND BRAKES, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. TOLD CONSUMER TO REPLACE TIRES. WE SAID WE WOULD IF THEY PROVE THIS IS THE PROBLEM BY PUTTING TIRES ON TO CHECK IT. ONE DEALER WOULD NOT.

I OWN A TOYOTA TUNDRA, 2000, V8, EXTENDED CAB. ONE RECURRING PROBLEM IS THE POOR PERFORMANCE OF THE FRONT BRAKE SYSTEM.

LEFT REAR LEAF SPRNG SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING CASUALLY ON CENTRAL STREET IN WINCHENDON. THE SPRNG SUBSEQUENTLY BEAT UP AGAINS THE GAS TANK. THE DEALER, NORM WAGNER TOYOTA VOLKSSWAGEN REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSBILTY FOR THE REPAIRS THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 4100 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN THIS HAPPENS AS THE GAS TANK COULD HAVE RUPTURED CAUSING SEVERAL POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS. *AK
