When applying the brakes at highway speeds the vehicle shakes violently. If in a turn of going downhill you have to release the brakes so you don’t lose control of the brakes. Started happening at 10,000 miles on a brand new truck. Toyota tells my I have to pay $440 to recondition the rotors. In all my years and many cars and trucks I’ve never had a warped rotor. I don’t ride the brakes and don’t tow anything with this truck. I am baffled at this situation. The service manager said he’s seeing several 2025 Tundras with low mileage rotor warping so this seems to be a design defect.
“I own a 2025 Toyota Tundra Platinum. The brake lights do not activate until the brake pedal is nearly halfway depressed. This is a safety defect because drivers behind me are not warned when I’m slowing or braking early. My dealership said ‘that’s the way it is’, but I believe this violates safety standards and puts me at risk. I want this documented and escalated for inspection and repair.”
