2000 TOYOTA TUNDRA BRAKE VIBRATION PROBLEM - BRAKES CAN CAUSE VIOLENT VIBRATION OF FRONT AND REAR OF VEHICLE WHICH CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL ON WET SURFACES DUE TO BOUNCING OF VEHICLE. I AM SURPRISE THE NHTSA HAS NOT REQUESTED RECALL DUE TO THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS PLACED WITH THE ADMINISTRATION. TOYOTA SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

THE REAR CENTER BUMPER OF MY 2000 TOYOTA FORRUNER SR5 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS RUSTING. I NOTICED ON MANY OTHER 2000 FORRUNERS THAT THERE IS ALSO A RUST PROBLEM , AGAIN ONLY ON THE CENTER BUMPER.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65-70 MPH, THE TREAD ON ONE OF MY FUTURA LTE 2000 P215/65R15 CAME COMPLETELY OFF. BEFORE AND DURING LONG TRIPS (LIKE THIS ONE), I CHECK AND VERIFY THAT THE AIR PRESSURE OF THE TIRES IS 35 PSI AND ALL TIRES WERE HOLDING THEIR PRESSURE JUST FINE (I.E. NO LEAKS). I HAD LAST CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE THE PREVIOUS EVENING. *TR
