Description of the problem | I bought my 2002 tundra new and experienced brake vibration almost immediately. The dealer said that the vibration happens when it is cold (bought in nov 2001) and it is normal. I did not believe this logic, then the dealer said there was nothing wrong with my vehicle and refused to do any work on it under warranty (but was willing to work on it if i paid; go figure). Five years later the problem is getting worse and had to replace my pads several times. Stopping distance on the highway is getting longer and more dangerous. I see here that i'm not the only one experiencing these issues. What is the nhtsa waiting for to initiate an investigation? For a bad accident to occur and someone dies? |
