LOL such fools (Toyota) in finally publishing this. I've had this problem with my first set of brakes and now I have the same problem developing with my second set of brakes.

From what I have noticed, once you do a new brake job, you have about 30000-35000km before the trouble starts.

My mechanic had alleviated the problem precisely by re-machining my front rotors. This helped for about 5000-10000km but basically once you machine them a second time, if you get problems again, you have to replace the rotors and pads the third time around.

Ive always had this but now im used to it... ill make sure to get this done though

[hossmaster]

crap im at 76000 and mine is quite squirrley at 70mph, o well otta be due for a brake job soon anyway. The back pads didn't last at all.

[JohnGD]

If anyone pulled the old pads, see if they are the cheap EE friction rated ones.

[darksparkz]

Wouldn't this just fall under normal maintenance though? Like resurfacing rotors at first brake pad change, which is usually recommended for most cars anyways.

No Problem

Excellent! Thanks for the information. Just curious, will this TSB also apply if you are past the standard 36k miles Toyota Comprehensive Warranty, but have the Toyota Platinum Extended Warranty? Either way, I'm at 35k, so it's perfect timing.

[Yazovets]

Does this TSB apply for out-of-warranty vehicles?
