    hello all!
    a month ago i purchase a new 2017 taco SR5 4x4 V6 and i love it! only 27 miles on it. because it was a left over, i got a good deal on it too~ :)

    within a week i noticed the truck started to shake as i applied the break - the body - no shaking in the steering wheel or break pedal. shaking was noticed when breaking at low and high speeds. got it in for service and they balanced all 4/wheels.

    later that day it started up again - the same problem as before but only when breaking at high speeds - again no shaking in the steering wheel or break pedal. took it back for a second service and they replaced both front rotors.

    well it's still there - body shaking while applying the break at high speeds and now at low speeds again.:(

    dealerships' at a loss so they're arranging for a regional toyota rep to check it out. i'll follow up afterwards but until then, anybody got any thoughts??

    thanks a bunch!!

    Holy cow! I literally came here to post the same exact question about my 2018 TRD 4X4 OR. I am a long time Tacoma guy (this is my 4th) and I always thought Toyota rotors must suck because after 30-40k miles my trucks would shake you to death trying to stop until you had the rotors turned. The only way I solved that on my old Gen 2 was to replace the rotors with drill/slotted ones and after that they were perfect up til I traded the truck for my 18. Heck, even my wife's 2012 Camry and our old 04 4Runner did the same thing.

    HOWEVER- What I feel in my 18 with barely 1500 miles is not the rotors, IMO. I especially feel it if going at a decent highway speed and stop halfway quickly OR when lightly applying the brakes coming up to a stop. Drives me insane!

    I wonder if it's a booster shudder or driveshaft shudder if it's not felt in the steering or brake pedal, that is manifesting itself down the frame?
