NHTSA complaint: 2013 TOYOTA TUNDRA — SERVICE BRAKES
ON 08/22/14, I HAD BEEN TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED. I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THE BRAKES BECAUSE THERE WAS A TERRIBLE VIBRATION AND THE BRAKES HAVE NOT STOPPED WELL SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. THEY SAID THE TRUCK NEEDED NEW BRAKES, ROTORS AND PADS ALL THE WAY AROUND. I WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT BACK ON 08/29/14. ON 08/28/14 WHILE DRIVING ON A CLEAR ROAD WITH NO RAIN OR CLOUDS I WENT TO STOP AND I PUSHED THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR WITH BOTH FEET AND THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP AND I HIT ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA AND THEY FINALLY ORDERED AN INSPECTOR TO GET THE BLACK BOX FROM MY TRUCK. HE HAS NOT CALLED TO SCHEDULE THIS AND IT IS 3 WEEKS LATER. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGE AFTER MESSAGE. I BELIEVE THE BRAKES ARE FAULTY WITH THE TRUCK. THERE IS NO REASON AT 9000 MILES ON A NEW TRUCK THAT IT SHOULD NEED NEW BRAKES, ROTORS AND PAD ALL THE WAY AROUND. NOW I AM WAITING ON ENGINEERING ANALYSIS ASSOCIATION TO CONTACT ME TO SET UP AN INSPECTION OF MY TRUCK. NO ONE IS WILLING TO HELP ME GET INFORMATION, NOT TOYOTA AND NOT EAA. *TR
