2000 Toyota Tundra SR5 review from North America
"Looks Good, Brakes are dangerous"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
70300 miles on my 2000 tundra and they, as I write this, are putting the 8th set of front rotors on, UNDER Warranty. Not without a fight though.
General comments?
My disappointment with Toyota is without bounds. The brakes on the Tundra are a disgrace to the Toyota reputation. The way they will deny the problems with the braking system publicly and then take you aside and advise you to get out from under it because they don't know how long they will support fixing the brakes is appalling. There should be a recall to correct this flaw in an otherwise good looking well performing truck.
