SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
MY BRAKES HAVE HAD SQUEALING AND SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS DIRTY ROTORS AND IT COULDN'T BE FIXED. AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES IT BEGAN TO VIBRATE WHEN BRAKING. I WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE SHOWING SOME WEAR, BUT IT WAS NORMAL. AT THE 15K MILE CHECK I AGAIN REPORTED THE VIBRATION. AGAIN I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL WEAR. NOW AT 23,000 MILES I LEARNED OF A TSB ISSUED FOR THE VIBRATION PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD I NEED A BRAKE JOB, BUT THE TSB ONLY COVERS VEHICLES UNDER 36,000M AND 3 EARS. MY VEHICLE IS OVER 3 YEARS SO I AM TOLD THE TSB DOES NOT APPLY. *JB

POWER TRAIN
WHEN STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT/STOP SIGN FROM 40-50MPH, THE TRUCK STOPS NORMALLY. AFTER ABOUT 1.5 SECONDS WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRUCK GIVES A KICK. IT IS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT IT FEELS AS IF YOU HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. THE WHOLE TRUCK SHUTTERS. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO GIVES THE, "I CAN'T DUPLICATE IT" SPIELS. MY TRANNY FLUID WAS LOW DUE TO A LEAKING REAR SEAL SO THEY BLAMED IT ON THAT. THEY CHANGED THE ALUMINUM FRONT DRIVESHAFT AS THEY STATED IT CAUSED THE LEAK. PROBLEM NEVER WENT AWAY. DOES NOT HAPPEN AT ANY OTHER TIME. SUSPECT THE FIRST GEAR CLUTCH PACKS ARE RELEASING AND RE-ENGAGING. COULD BE MECHANICAL BUT IT IS ALSO A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ECU. SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE 2007-UP CAMRY WHICH WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE TORQUE CONVERTER. *TR
