What owners wrote
Purchased 2000 toyota tundra in 2004 with ABS light on and rear end noise. Truck vibrates significantly when break is used down hill. Toyota agreed to inspect and repair if any problem existed. Toyota states that the noise was a parking brake cable and the breaks should be used "smoothly", taking care not to hit it too hard. The day after pick up from service department a major accident occured when at 45 MPH the brakes locked up causing vehicle to slide 75 feet impacting two other vehicles that were totaled out.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 toyota tundra. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a technician concluded that the brake lines and the frame corroded which caused him to lose brake power and fluid. The brakes were replaced. The dealer informed him three weeks ago that they had to submit pictures of the frame failures to toyota and would contact him with a response. The failure mileage was 80,120.updated 11/13/09. Updated 11/17/09
