NHTSA Complaint #10438790 — 2002 TOYOTA TUNDRA

ANY SPEED ABOVE 40MPH PRODUCES A VIOLENT SHAKE/WOBBLE FROM THE FRONT END. GOING DOWN A SLOPE AND /OR APPLYING THE BRAKES MAKES THE PROBLEM WORSE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 2 YEARS THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, CALIPERS AND PADS AT A CONSIDERABLE COST TO MYSELF. BOTH TIMES THE SYMPTOMS WERE THE SAME AND THE CAUSE WAS THE SAME. THE PLUNGERS ON THE RIGHT FRONT CALIPER STICKS AND CAUSES THE PAD TO MAINTAIN CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR AND OVERHEATING IT CAUSING THE ROTOR TO WARP. THE WARP IN THE ROTOR PRODUCES THE SHAKING WHICH IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I DON'T TOW OR HAUL HEAVY LOADS, I DON'T DRIVE EXCESSIVELY FAST NOR DO I USE EXCESSIVE BRAKING, STILL THE PROBLEM RECURS. *TR
