“Calipers on the brakes of Toyota T100 pickup trucks lockup causing irrepairable damage to brake pads and rotors. This necessitates replacement of the brake assembly and rotor-hub parts and significant labor cost ($931). This has happened twice in less than 18 months on my 1998 T100. When I prompted the dealership to pay for materials the second time, they told me it happens all the time with T100, tundra and tacomas. …”
NHTSA complaint #10110521, filed 2005-02, 118,000 miles“Took my truck to a body shop to have dings and a few rusted spots on it repaired. The business owner and repair person put it on the rack and after examination, informed me that it was not worth the repairs, because the frame and undercarriage was too extensive and might as such cause safety issues. I chose not to have it repaired because of this issue.”
