I bought a 2000 (SR5 2WD AC V8) in 3/06 with 88k and now it has 106K. Before I bought it, my mechanic checked it out and noticed "new to very new" rotors/pads. A few months ago I started to get vibration while braking and it has only gotten worse, presumeably the recurring Tundra brake nightmare scenario. I have since read about all of the furor over the Tundra brake issue and don't know how best to correct my problem. Please advise me on the following outline of my situation/options as I see them:
1. There is a TSB regarding Tundra brakes, but with my mileage and year model, nothing I can do about it?
2. Was a class action lawsuit filed and has Toyota officially/unofficially admitted the problem and offered repair in accordance with their TSB?
3. If I have to eat this repair is it better to pay the 2000$ at the dealer for the TSB repair or go with an aftermarket rotor/pad or caliper/rotor/pad combo if necesary.
4. If aftermarket is cheaper or better than the Dealership 2000$ option, what aftermarket setups have yielded good results? Rotors, Calipers or pads...reccomendations?
Anything anyone can say to give me direction would help a whole lot, from all that I have read today I am pretty tense over the whole brake situation.
