Description of the problem | Last year i purchased a 2002 toyota tundra. Nothing but trouble with the front brakes and rotors. Burt toyota, the dealership where it was purchased, acts like nothing is wrong and will do nothing about it. Now, i have learned that this is a problem with most, if not all, tundras. They make larger rotors and brakes for the front at the cost of $2000 with labor. Why should toyota not be responsible for such an critical part of the vehicle? Do we need a few deaths before people look further into this tundra nightmare? To date, 16 months, i have spent money on shocks, drums, rotors, brake pads, alignments, tires, balancing of tires, and my time sitting on my butt waiting for the work to get done, only to find nothing has changed. Now i see the tundra forms of complaints of the same problems that go on forever. Why is toyota not held liable for this? Please help us! |
