2017 Tundra brakes

My 2017 tundra rotors overheat and warp within 5,000 miles of being replaced on two occasions. New Toyota brakes, rotors and the problem persists. Anyone else experience this problem and what did you do to solve it?

 

Were the calipers replaced?

 

Do you tow or haul near GVWR up and down mountain grades?

 

All or 1? Rural or city driving? Letter carrier?

 

Did you, yourself, actually buy the rotors (from a Toyota dealer)? And do the work yourself? Or has a shop told you that they're using genuine factory Toyota rotors?

As we await greater detail on your driving habits and weight conditions...........my 2017 (bought new from the dealer) is at 111,500 miles and the rotors continue to work perfectly. I don't tow and I don't travel down long mountain passes.

EDIT: After seeing Silver17's post below I'm pointing out that I, and I alone, torque my wheel lugs. By hand. Aluminum wheels and to 90 lb-ft and not a bit more.

 

I replaced mine 3k miles ago with brembo pads and rotors from rock auto. Still early but feel and look great

 

Toyota economy line? Fake parts off ebay ect? How is your truck used? Are you in your 20's and you drive everywhere like you stole it?

 

Could be from over torquing, or unevenly torquing the lug nuts. It’s unlikely they’re warping. It’s probably brake pad material buildup causing high spots on the rotor. In general, I try to avoid braking hard and then after coming to a stop keeping the brakes applied in the same spot on the hot rotor. That can bake pad material into that one spot on the rotor and cause high spots. I also like to properly bed in new brakes by following a bedding procedure.

 

The two posts above this one are good advice. I use torque wrench on my lug nuts. And replaced all hardware, and wire brushed all the brake parts lube them and the caliper bolts that it slide on need to be clean and lube. I guess its just a troll or bot asking the question.

 

All the above, make sure your hubs are clean of of rust, pads move freely.

 

All calipers were replaced. Calipers, rotors, and pads are all Toyota genuine parts and were installed at the Toyota dealership. Truck is a daily driver to/from work and long past being in my 20s. Occasional towing of a small utility trailer and not much else. Brembo may be the way to go, no luck at all with genuine Toyota parts and dealer installation.

 

Welllllllll......I've had them same issue on my 14. I don't tow or haul much of anything, on occasion I will when the need arrises but rarely do I haul or tow anything.
I try to drive reasonably, meaning I'll only exceed the speed limit on occasion and do not brake hard or wait till the last minute to brake.
And I replaced the rotors and pads with Oreillys pads and rotors. Forget the manufacturers name. They weren't the cheapest. Around 350 for everything and that was just for the fronts.
Yet I have pulsating. I didn't torque check the lug nuts but I didn't lay on them either. But that might be the problem. Overtourqued lug nuts. Hmmmmm......

 

Does anyone else drive it, maybe even a kid when you aren't home? I drove around many times from around 12 on up and was never caught.

 

I’m the only driver of the Tundra. The manager of the service department indicated Toyota changed the rotor to a solid design in 2017. He recommended going with non-Toyota replacements that were gloves and slotted next time. May need to go to O’Rielly’s and try something else. Starting to sense I bought the Tundra that was the first one assembled on a Monday morning or last one off the line end of day Friday.

 

Stoptech cryogenic treated slotted rotors is the ticket. Not cheap, Prolly ~$700 for 4
