It's one ugly truck all right. Problem is, it can be a little uglier than the buyer expects. Tundra is one of the models that is putting a pretty big blemish on Toyota's reputation for quality, reliability and customer service.

Biggest problem? The brakes. A design oversight can cause the front rotors to warp and wear prematurly. Toyota's response has been to keep quiet and hope the problem goes away. Not likely.

Here are some of the more recent complaints:

2001 Toyota Tundra. I have a brake problem that causes the truck to shake and jerk. I think this is a safety problem that Toyota needs to fix.

My 2002 Toyota Tundra has had multiple problems with the front brake rotors warping. Also, the O2 sensors needed to be replaced after the inital warranty expiration. After I replaced them myself, I found out that they were an extended warranty item and the Dealer should have replaced them. My local dealer (Petaluma, Ca.)never informed me of this even though I told them how many miles I had 77,000 when I bought the sensors (275.00)and explained the error code an all to multiple employees. They refused to refund my money on the warranty fix. My suspension has had multiple problems (struts/shocks and mounts). I again have a rattle coming from the front. Seems the same problem has returned. Now I have found out about the recall on the ball joint..amazing..My 5th and last Toyota I'll purchase.

I purchased a 2000 toyota tundra extra cab, limited edition new from southern MD toyota. At 36,000 miles the started went out and it took 5 weeks to replace it. I have been through 3 sets of 02 sensors and an exhaust manafold because the dealer drilled out the manifold and it cracked a month later. I have 112,000 miles on the truck and I am on my 6th set of brakes and 3rd set of rotors because of the shimmy and vibration when trying to stop. My ford never did this ...

2005 Toyota Tundra white paint is fading. vehicle has 28,500 miles. Dealership tells me that they have problems with the white paint on toyotas fading?????? There solution high speed buff, are you kidding me..... you would think that a new vehicle paint job would last longer than the time it takes to pay for the vehicle. Very disappointing.
