PCS SYSTEM ON 2019 TOYOTA DISPLAYS THAT THE SYSTEM IS "ON" BUT THE ICON ON THE DASH SHOWS "OFF". I HAVE PICS TO PROVIDE PROOF. BEEN HAPPENING BEFORE THE FIRST SRVC ON THE TRUCK. WHEN IN DURING SRVC TO EXPLAIN, DEALERSHIP DIDN'T FIND PROBLEM. LEFT AND IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. SINCE THE 5K SRVC THIS HAPPENS PRETTY MUCH DAILY, I'M NOT SURE IF THE PCS IS GOING TO WORK OR NOT AS I HAVE BECOME LEARY OF THIS FEATURE BEING A SAFETY FEATURE AND MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE WITH TOYOTA NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP IN CORRECTING IT. MULTIPLE FORUMS ON THIS SUBJECT HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED AND OTHER CASES HAVE BEEN STARTED AT NHTSA FOR THIS SAME CONTINUED PROBLEM. A SAFETY FEATURE THAT DOESN'T WORK ISN'T A SAFETY FEATURE; IT'S A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.

LESS THAN 3000 MILES WHEN INCIDENT HAPPENED. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY THE DASH SCREEN SAID BRAKE AND A CHIME WAS HEARD. IT WAS LATE EVENING 3 DAYS AGO AND THEIR WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. MY INITIAL REACTION WAS TO BRAKE HOWEVER I DID NOT. IT ALSO HAPPENED TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES AT ABOUT 45 MPH ON THE FINAL FEW MILES FROM MY HOME. THE INDICATOR DID NOT STAY ON LONG ENOUGH TO GET A PHOTO OF IT. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I FILED A CASE WITH TOYOTA USA. I THEN CALLED THEM THE NEXT DAY. TODAY I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT TAKING IT IN FOR THE TO CHECK. AT THAT TIME THE SERVICE REP ADVISED ME THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PART SENSOR ON THE ANTI COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL REPLY FROM TOYOTA USA HOWEVER THE REPLY DID NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY INFORMATION , OTHER THAN THE CASE WAS GOING TO BE ENTERED INTO THEIR DATABASE. THEY WILL PLACE A FOAMY TAPE ON THE BACK OF THE SENSOR AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT. THIS SEEMS A BIT UNDER DONE AND A BAND AID FOR WHAT COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. IF IT IS A WATER ISSUE (NO RAIN ON THE DAY IT HAPPENED AND DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE WAY TO MY DESTINATION) I RESEARCHED THE VIN FOR THE RECALL AND I RECEIVED "THERE IS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN, ANSWER. HOPEFULLY THE NHTSA WILL DO A SIMPLE WEBSITE SEARCH AND SEE THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I PREFER NOT TO HAVE ANY SAFETY ISSUES WHILE TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE.

Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) malfunctions sporadically while driving. Warning lights illuminate and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) disengages when activated while driving. The Pre-Collision System (PCS) is turned off and flashes with the following error messages. - Pre-Collision System Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer - Auto Headlight System Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer - LDA Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer This has happened twice, first right after purchasing the vehicle brand new in 2019 and most recently last week on 5/22/2021. I took the vehicle into the dealer on 5/25/2021 and they seemed aware of this issue, but stated they could not reproduce it and there were no error codes logged. I showed them the video of this happening (link below) while driving through Nevada. I was told the errors will not disable the vehicle or put it into limp mode, but my concern is when this happens while using DRCC, which almost made me drive into the back of a tractor trailer on Interstate 80. The speed limit on I-80 in Nevada is 80 MPH. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WrxgM8SJeB02eO4a6E9tbyCeAr6gRRHs/view?usp=sharing

Pre collison warning system has turned itself off in the rain and states visit dealer for service. Never logs data and on when you get to dealer. Same system has also flash "Brake" on the highway at 65 mph when a dry sunny day and no cars around. I am worried it may actually brake by accident causing loss of control. Went to dealer on both occasions and because it doesn't log the data there was nothing they could do. Did my own research and there was a technical service bulletin for certain VINS (not mine) to "repair" this module behind the grill. It was done to my truck but not by my dealership before I took ownership. It should not have been done and Route 44 toyota just did nothing. I asked for a replacement and they wouldn't because there wasn't any codes listed to warrant it because the TSB wasn't for my truck even though someone did it. On their TSB it recommends replacement for my current issues but they wouldn't do it.

Sunroof shattered while driving on highway. Noise similar to a gun being fired, caused momentary disorientation; however, was able to keep vehicle on the road. No warning, no other vehicles around that could have kicked up a rock, debris, etc. Smooth conditions on the road (no potholes, bumps, etc.). Sunroof was in the tilt up position, side windows down, and rear window down - even temperature outside and inside (74 degrees F). Small glass "shards" in eyes and hair; however, most of it went up/out. Vehicle gets inspected tomorrow (09-21) for insurance purposes.

My son was driving to Mineral Wells to get something to eat on Wednesday 11/17/21 at 8:00 at night on FM 52 South. All of a sudden the steering wheel falls in his lap. He picked it up and shoved it onto the column and was able to steer the truck onto the side of the road without hitting anything. He looked underneath the steering wheel assembly and 2 of the 4 ubolts where missing. Where did they go - if they were ever there in the first place. The steering wheel has had some vibration and we have had the truck front end aligned and the wheels balanced. I had it in not long ago for an inspection/oil change/tire rotation. After I left the dealership the wheel felt a little loose and there was some vibration but I thought it was the road and it did stop vibrating. I also drive a Prius and I thought maybe I'm just not used to the way the truck feels. I told my son when I got home that it felt loose and he said he would keep an eye on it. Then Wednesday night the steering wheel falls off and the whole column falls out. What is this? I also drive the truck and I do not think I would have had #1 - the strength to pick the wheel up and force it back onto the column or #2 - the sense to even do that. I would have had an accident. The Shottenkirk dealership does not want to deal with the problem even though I have an extended warranty so today Freeman Toyota calls me and they are picking up the truck and will be doing the repair work. Bottom line - my son could have been killed or injured, I drove the truck Monday in Ft. Worth going 70+mph and I could have been killed or injured. How does a steering wheel/steering column loose ubolts and falls off/collapses?

I took my vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. During the safety inspection the Toyota authorized tech advised me about a serious safety issue with rust on the undercarriage of my vehicle. He advised that the control arms as well as sway bars and suspension , shocks, struts had heavy rust on them. He advised that this is a safety issue as if something breaks I could lose control. I have enclosed the video. I then contacted First Team Toyota and they initially wanted me to bring the truck in for inspection. The next day they called and told me that since I was no longer under warranty , That they could not help me. I was also told that the undercoating I paid extra for does not cover the parts that are rusted. I contacted Toyota corporate and they opened a case #[XXX]. After several days they decided that there was nothing they could do for me. I have my vehicle serviced routinely and have never been advised of any rust problems on my truck. Then after the warranty runs out, I’m advised of this problem. I take extreme care of my truck and spray the under carriage with fresh water whenever I drive thru rain or puddles. I am extremely concerned regarding the safety of this vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

3 times in the last few mos the BRAKE! warning came on. Nothing was causing this warning to engage. This happened again today. Another issue is when the Valdosta Toyota (GA) dealer attempted to fix the fuel pump recall on 22 JUL 2020 it was assembled incorrectly. I called the dealership and told them to come and get my Tundra because gas was dripping onto my driveway. They sent a tow truck and it was supposedly fixed and they brought it back to me in about 2 hrs. It really does run the way it did before they “re-fixed” it. Very often now when it is driving I feel something like a failing fuel pump. It fades away but it is not comfortable taking it long distances. It feels like there is a clog in the fuel system or something, although there is not. I have 33,400 miles on it today and I can’t help but wonder if Valdosta Toyota didn’t just exchange the original fuel pump with a different used one?

9/8/2021

Having fuel pump issue. Car stalls very badly and pre collision light and engine lights start flashing. Severe jumping by car driving down the road. When accelerating the car has no acceleration and hesitates very badly.

1/25/2025

Intermit message "Trailer disconnect " message causing the trailer braking system to fail when attached to truck. Truck brakes are used to stop trailer at unsafe distances. Several trailers were used to verify. I have attached the fix but Toyota says its warranty issue. This is a "safety" issue. I had my 3 year old son in the truck when i had to apply the brakes and couldn't stop in enough time. The truck brakes could not handle the weight of the trailer hence why the trailer brakes were needed. Please prevent a death.

This is the second chrome hood bulge that I've put on it and it keep breaking with the wind and just flys off. Also the collision light will come on by itself.

The seat heater control module has failed causing the plastic to burn and melt, nearly starting a fire. Toyota knows about this but refuses to issue a safety recall.

I was on a camping trip in Wyoming, and I started my Tundra up on a chilly morning. It was running for about 5 minutes before I came back to it and entered the cab. Immediately upon entering I noticed a strange smell. I also noticed at that time that the driver’s seat was extremely warm. I quickly shut off the heat warmer (original equipment on the truck). Inspecting the seat, I could see where the leather was just starting to melt. Luckily, I caught this in time, for if I would have left it longer, the vehicle could have caught fire. An online search discovered previous problems with Toyota seat warmers. My contact with Toyota was not helpful, for they simply told me that it was out of warranty, despite being a safety issue.
