Toyota Tundra Limited
| | Model | Toyota Tundra Limited | | | What things have gone wrong with the car? | Poor brake design | | | General comments? | The Tundra has left a scar on Toyota's reputation for quality. I would recommend that you do not buy this vehicle for many reasons.
There are four problems with the Tundra that makes me think twice about every buying a Toyota again (my family has owned 3 Toyotas and 1 Lexus in the past 10 years). The Tundra has the most problems and the Lexus 2002 ES300 also has issues.
The number one problem is the design flaw of the braking system. Toyota's designer must have been a genius to to put drums to stop this massive vehicle that weighs over two tons. Putting discs in the rear of the truck can't have cost that much more. The front rotors feel like they do about 90% of the work to stop the truck. This has caused the brake pads to wear quickly. Many have this complaint and a Toyota TSB has actually been sent to dealers, although they will not tell you this. The excessive wear also causes pulsation and lateral shakes during braking.
