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:

I just drove home from the shop with my 2000 Tundra. Second brake job in 4 months. 1,200. The vibration was so bad it shook my fillings loose, who do I send the dentist bill to? It brakes smooth tonight, but for how long. I just heard about all of the brake problems when I visited this site tonight. Misery loves company. Anybody want to buy a truck?

Just Purchased 2003 Tundra about 1 year ago and I am having same break problems that everyone is describing, I don't even know how to see if my ball bearing was replaced after the recall on them...

We have a 2000 Toyota Tundra. We had front brake/rotor problems in October 2004, and they were again replaced in June 06. Also, after our 70,000 mile (1,400) service, the mechanic failed to connect the radiator hose, resulting in a tow (after driving only 21 miles). Then 2 weeks later, the engine light came on again (300 miles), and we needed a coil replacement, 200. Now, 4 weeks later (300 miles) the engine light on again, and the truck rattles. The dealership is very unresponsive.

We purchased a new 2000 Toyota Tundra and have been in the shop so many times with our brakes. When our warranty ran out, they quit paying for the worn rotors. I have always purchase Toyota and Lexus vehicles and now I am really discouraged from purchasing another. I cannot believe that the Toyota Company would turn their backs on us faithful buyers. Thousands of dollars will now be spent every three or more thousand miles. So unhappy.
