| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 toyota tundra (purchased new on march 07) i noticed around june of 2009 that the vehicle vibrates when braking at speed between 40 to 50 miles. Took the truck to the dealer where i purchased it from on september 24, 2009 , the service advisor said that there are rust on the frond disks and the rear drums and it they need to resurface the front disks and rear drums. Truck then had only (15576 miles), i paid $418. 12 for the repair, advisor said it is not covered by warranty. On feb. 2, 2010 i contacted the toyota consumer experience center in ca, they would not acknowledge there is an issue, and she gave me a case no. And said i should talk to the service manage at the dealer ( i did not contact him, because i felt i get no satisfaction). Yesterday on march 10, 2010 there is a new report about rust issues on the 2007 tundra's; and its brakes. This happened to my truck especially after such a short period and only 15576 miles at the time i took to the dealer for repairs. I am now very concerned not only about the brakes that already started to rust after a short period, but also about brake lines, under carriage etc. |
