“This model of truck rotors warp like crazy. I had new rotors put on 2 days ago, and they are already warping again with no hard stops. Fixing the problem is a complete waste of money, so I drive around with extremely warped rotors(I.e. Faulty brakes). I suspect most everyone else who owns this model truck does the same thing. This braking system on this vehicle is faulty and hazardous. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis***761446”

NHTSA complaint #10009193, filed 2002-05, 175,000 miles

“The brake and fuel lines on my Toyota pick up (VIN t4vno1d9n2o12572) have been suffering from an acclerated rate of corrosion (far beyond any other underbody component including the sheet metal) and have been leaking and failing for the past two years. These lines appear to be acting as a sacrificial anode for an electrically induced corrosion compared to environmental factors such as rain snow and salt. While my vehicle is old the singularity of the corrosion of the brake and fuel lines compared to the other parts of the thruck indicates this is not merely an age issue. …”

“Dt: the contact stated while the vehicle was parked on a hill the parking brake failed. The contact's vehicle rolled down a hill and hit another vehicle, which sustained damage.

NHTSA complaint #10145313, filed 2005-12

“Front disc brake rotors and pads have been replaced yearly. They wear out very fast, only highway driving at about 60mph. Dealer contacted, and the warranty was only for one year. Consumer assumes it is design defect.”

NHTSA complaint #828760, filed 1998-10

“When driving the truck and applying the brakes, the pedal goes to the floor and there is no braking ability. The master cylinder has been replaced 3 times since owning the truck.”
