Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle purchased 4/22/2002. All of the pulsating, vibration while braking downhill (as described by so many in the preceding 21 complaints under "component" service brakes. Hydraulic), occurred on: 8/20. 2002-warranty week., 5/1, 2003-more warranty work, finally on 1/5/2006 went to napa auto repair and finally paid for a sensible analysis of the problem and so far a good braking experience. Current mileage is 35,800 miles!! I hope that somewhere in this complaint i will be able to share the reasoned analysis by napa regarding unsized front pads before i run out of space: larger pads for sequoia installed. Sequoia has 4 wheel disc brakes-curb wt. 5280. Tundra-curb wt. 4518. Tundra rear brakes-drum. Smaller pads in front than sequoia. Initial problems seemingly develop when rear drum shoes wear down unevenly thereby putting more wear on small front discs. No "failures" or "deaths or "injuries" to report--(sorry) but only because most of us slow down before the inevitable occurs! Warranty work on the two described occasions is listed as:"f. Disc 1-sd gnd comb:opposite side rear brake drum (one side) r&r opposite side" in may, 2003 at 11,611 mi.: "replaced calipers per tsb, resurfaced front rotors, rear brake drum r&r, strut set (2) parking brake. Replaced rear brake drums". I hope that my experience will generate some manufacturer recognition and admission to their problem. Thank you, i. L. Turner. *jb
