Ironically, I just opened my mail and there is a check from Toyota for $125. The check was for, and I quote, "Unintended Acceleration Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation. I traded my Toyota Tundra in on my Jeep 3 1/2 years ago. I didn't even know there was a class action against them. I'm going to happily deposit this check into my account tomorrow.
That Tundra was the best vehicle I've ever owned. The reason I got rid of it is rather sappy but I got rid of it non-the-less.
After 9 1/2 years of ownership, that vehicle never had any problems except extreme vibration you would get when braking. It was my wife's DD and I never experienced it until it became my DD after she got a Nissan Xterra. When I got it I started investigating the wobbly breaking (my wife thought it was defective tires causing the problem and took it back several times complaining but they did nothing to make her happy). Turns out that they undersized the calipers and rotors for the truck which caused the rotors to overheat and wear out prematurely. After finally figuring out what the solution was, thanks to a Toyota Tundra forum, Toyota wanted $1400 to fix it since it wasn't under warranty. I fixed it myself for $280. Had to replace the calipers, rotors and brake pads to a larger size. Braking was smooth after replacing everything. Now, I feel like I'm out only $155 to fix what was clearly a engineering design flaw.
