I own a 2018 Tacoma
I own a 2018 Tacoma 4x4OffRoad. I have 15,400 miles on it & was recently pulled over by a CHP officer who informed me that my left rear tire had a noticeable wobble while driving at moderate highway speeds. I brought it in to One Toyota of Oakland to have the issue diagnosed. The following day I received a call & was explained that the left rear drum had slighly warped due to excessive heat & rust. I tow a 19' boston whaler boat occasionally but dont believe such a load at short distances would cause excessive wear & heat especially at the rear drum brakes. The mention of rust though, was not in my favor. My appointment intensified when I was informed that toyota would not honor their warranty on such condition since I had an aftermarket airbag lift kit installed on my suspension which voided any coverage on brakes & suspension. Frustrated I left the dealership & am currently finding solutions to get a pair of new OEM rear drum brake kits & have them installed.
I figure trying to fight a corporate giant like toyota may be futile especially with 2 unfavorable issues (rust & aftermarket air bag lift kits) however if a class action suit ensues, I'll be on the lookout for a claim / settlement. That's that
Anyone who has any feedback or insight please reply!
