| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 toyota tundra. I was carrying a load to the junk yard and after a few stops my brakes starting pulsing and stopping correctly became dangerous. I suspect the rotors got too hot from the load. This is a full size truck and the brakes appear to be too small to handle the braking required. The brakes and rotors will need to be replaced. This is a poor design and a safety problem. Fortunately no one has been injured yet. |
