| Tl- the contact purchased a brand new 2010 toyota tacoma and at 7500 miles it began to have issues with the warpedglazed rotors and drums. this resulted in problems stopping the vehicle. the dealer repaired them four times without any success. the vehicle was traded in for a 2011 toyota tacoma and at 9,300 miles it began to have the same problems. after the fourth time the dealer tried to repair those rotors and drums, the contact spoke with the manufacturer. the manufacturer would not acknowledge a problem with the rotors and drums. the contact feels this is a manufacturer defect and safety issue, because is causes problems with stopping the vehicle. the failure mileage was 9,300 and the current mileage was unknown. rl | |||

| 2011 toyota tacoma - brakes are very inconsistent. one time they work just as intended and the next time you depress the pedal, you feel pressure trying to push the pedal back to you and the braking is enhanced to the point that you feel like you are going to hit the steering wheel. toyota says that is the nature of the brakes. if this is the case toyota has a real problem. | |||
