    I am surprised that my dealer found these to be broken and shocked at the $572 quote to fix them. My 2010 Tacoma only has 142K or 100,000 miles. Has anyone else dealt with this problem?

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Just replaced mine two months ago. Personally, Id just have them do it if you're there now

    At 125k mine went tits up and ruined the new rear shoes that I just installed. The new drums were $125 each and I had to get one resurfaced. That's about what my dealer quoted me and I had it done. It bunched me up a bit but I had to get it on the road. Typically I would have done it myself but didn't know what was involved. Apparently it's not that big of a deal but you have to disassemble the console.

    I had another shop check out the brakes and cables. They report everything is perfect and safe to drive. Ebrakes work as they should. Pads and rotors in great shape. I can't wait to go to the dealer on Monday to hear them defend their estimate.

    Good for you getting a second opinion (my driver side was broken)
