1998
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM
BRAKES/PADS ON NEW 1998 TRUCK WERE AT 30% AT FIRST 12 MONTHS AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND ROTORS TURNED. UPON REPAIRING, THERE IS MAJOR VIBRATION AND SLIGHT GRAWL WITH CLICKING NOISE IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE VIBRATION/PULLING TO LARGE VEHICLES. I HAVE A GREAT CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING MY 1998 TOYOTA TACOMA 4WD EXTRA CAB. DEALER STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL BRAKE REPLACEMENTS ON SIMILAR VEHICLES FROM 7000-16000 MILES ON VEHICLE; HOWEVER, DUE TO NO FORMAL COMPLAINTS, NOTHING CAN BE DONE. DUE TO THIS FACT, IT WILL COST FROM $300-400 TO REPAIR, BECUASE WARRANTY ENDS 12MONTH/12,000 MILES.
