Description of the problem | Breaks on toyota tundras are defective and toyota knows about it as stated in tsb #br004-02. My front brakes have worn out prematurely. The only reason that i have not experienced the problem sooner is that i mainly use the truck for occasional long distance highway trips. I am experiencing vibration when applying the brakes and they wore out prematurely. Numerous other customers have complained about this issue as well. Based on some of these additional complaints, toyota is doing everything possible to avoid fixing the problem. Please refer to these additional complaints posted on this blog: http://www.
