Toyota Tundra brakes, when they work properly, are excellent stopping devices, and can handle some fairly heavy loads. However, there are a number of reports from Tundra owners that the brake rotors on the Tundra are prone to warping. Warped brakes pose a safety hazard, and it is terribly unpleasant to ride in a vehicle with warped brake rotors.
The whole vehicle can shudder under braking, which, in extreme circumstances, can lead to the brake disks fracturing and a loss of control of the car. Toyota has issued a service bulletin about this problem, although many dealers will restrict it to 30,000 miles.
If you are having trouble with your Toyota Tundra’s brakes and the dealer refuses to fix the problem, you may have to do the work yourself. To ensure the problem is fixed, you will need to replace the calipers, backing plates, and bearings, not to mention the warped rotors, and necessarily, the pads. Anecdotal evidence indicates that the dealer will charge over $2,000 for this work if the truck is out of warrantee.
