| When applying the brake at a stop, the brake pedal eases to the flloor to the point it is nearly touching the floorboard. the truck has the tendancy to lurch or ease forward. this is a serious issue as it has the potential to rear-end another vehicle while stopped or a pedestrian. i only have 3500 miles on my truck and it just started. it appears this is a common problem that is growing, but toyota refuses to address. | |||

| The 2000-2003 model year toyota tundras have a known brake engineering defect. the front bake calipers are too small causing routine overheating of the the front brake rotors. this condition warps the brake rotors and causes an unsafe and unpredictable brake response. rpeated re-surfacing or replacement of the rotors always results in the reoccurrence of the warpage due to the improperly sized front calipers. toyota quietly issued a tsb in the early 2000's that mandated installation of lrger calipers and replacement of other affected parts. this fix has not been common knowledge among affected consumers. this tsb not only acknowledges the original design flaw but contains specs and the specific remedy ! , | |||
