Description of the problem	2002 and 2003 toyota tundra brakes warp every 10,000 miles. I have owned a 2002 toyota tundra since it was new. At 35,000 miles, i began to experience a brake problem with violent shaking of the front end. My normal mechanic told me that it was warped front break rotors and they would have to be ground down flat. I did this and then experienced the same problem at approximately 45,000, 55,000 and 65,000 miles. I am now nearing 75,000 miles and the vibration is starting. I only drive about 10,000 miles a year and have had heavy loads on the truck about 5 times in the last 8 years. My mechanic showed me a set of instructions that mechanics had for upgrading toyota tundra breaks because of a design problem with undersized front disc brakes and drum brakes in the back after my last brake job. I contacted my toyota dealer and was told that brakes are generally covered and are considered routine maintenance. However, they were aware that the brakes on the 2002 -2003 tundras had a design problem and did not hold up properly. They continued that the brakes had been upgraded with a labor only charge for anyone who contacted them within the first 3 years or 36,000 miles. They also stated that this brake upgrade kit was no longer available as a kit and i would have to purchase the parts separately if i wanted to fix the problem. The cost of the parts is over $2000 without labor. The toyota 800 number told me i had no options because brakes are routine maintenance, period. Currently, my only plan is to continue to have my rotors turned every 10,000 miles until i need new ones. Hopefully other tundra owners will do the same or their safety will be greatly compromised. My front end suspension is also showing wear.
