What owners wrote
When I complained about front end brake shimmy they stated there is a TSB on the front brake system. When I asked if dangerous until I get fixed I was told no. I got into an accident the day before my appointment to get the TSB repaired. Now my brakes are at 50% 8 months after replacement as well.
The 2004 and earlier toyota tundra has had major corrosion issues and frame recalls. My tundra was just inspected by the local toyota dealer and major corrosion was noted on the vehicle frame. Toyota applied a fiberglass based rustproofing to the frame. However, they would not acknowledge any other corrosion or rot on the vehicle. My vehicles motor mounts are so corroded that I am afraid that the engine will fall out of the vehicle. Also, the mounts that hold the radiator are so corroded they are almost gone.
