2000 Toyota Tundra sr5 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first time I experienced a problem with the Brakes was when the vehicle went into a violent shake. I took it back to the dealer and they resurface the disk and drums. This fixed the problem for a short while. I returned with the same problem this time they told me they replaced the parts with upgraded parts. Same problem occurred within a year. At this time they tell me that the upgrade was not preformed, but they would do it now as a good will. I have taken this vehicle back 6 times and they have not fixed it to this date. Seventh time back, Now they tell me I have to replace the front disk and the back drums need resurfaced, the pads normal wear I agree. they can't resurface the front disk because they have cut them just above the legal limit. My concern is the safety of my family first. The next is the extra cost of owning a tundra that needs all new break parts every two years. also the brake pads are $90.00 at the dealership most brakes pads are half that price because they are not specially made to cure a bad design. If you have already bought a tundra don't let the deal string you along go lemon. because Toyota does not stand by their word or product I will never purchase another Toyota ever again.
General comments?
This truck has serious break problems.
Shakes when breaks are applied.
Parts wear out too quickly.
