What owners wrote
My husband and I purchased a 2006 toyota tundra access cab on 11/25/06 at toyota of fort worth texas . Less than 6 days later, we were driving home on a street that leads to our house,less than a mile, we have been traveling this road for at least 15 years. It was slightly raining, we approached the curve to the left on this road.
When applying the brakes on my o6 tundra 4x4 18,000 miles my stering wheel will jerk to the left and return. It does it more when brakes are hot from stop and go traffic. I am concerned what will happen on ice. I have had it to the dealer 4 times and have left it for 2 days for them to resolve this problem.they have not fixed or resolved the problem.they also had the toyota southeast rep look at it for 2 days and still did not fix the problem.
