“I own a 2015 Tundra crew cab. The family and I love to camp, so we purchased a brand new camper. I hooked up the camper to the Tundra utilizing the 7 pin connector. The dash display indicated the integrated brake control was working and fully functional. To my dismay, the brake control did not work to satisfaction and border lined a safety issue. With the gain turned up to 10 on electric mode, the camper's brakes barely engaged and rarely slowed down my truck. The camper is 7800 pounds. …”
NHTSA complaint #10872503, filed 2016-06, 7,500 miles“My intergrated trailer brake controller( part # 89547-0c010) is not functioning properly. It provides braking to my trailer only by using the manual slide. When braking, I feel no braking the trailer.”
NHTSA complaint #10869996, filed 2016-05, 250,000 miles“Parking brake began to fail at holding my Tundra stationary in my driveway (which is approximately a 16% grade) at 10,892 miles. First service complaint Toyota found the parking brake to be operational but adjusted it. On my way home, this adjustment caused the left parking brake shoe to heat up and stick causing a 'death wobble'. Vehicle towed to dealer. Toyota of nwa was able to replicate the failure during a test drive to a road of equal grade as my driveway. Parking brake shoes were replaced and inside of rotors machined. …”
NHTSA complaint #10850050, filed 2016-03, 10,892 miles“When at 55 degrees or below getting a misfire on cylinder 2, engine light on with traction control off on my display (not the actual icon). Code reader says p0302, c1201, and b1242. Engine light starting flashing, juddering really bad when accelerating to 70mph. When at 60 degrees or higher everything is normal no engine light on or any juddering.”
NHTSA complaint #11389327, filed 2021-01, 113,900 miles“Installed factory integrated trailer brake controller in 2016. Controller does not supply enough power to the trailer brakes early enough to stop appropriately (trailer pushes the vehicle). Even at maximum power, the only way to lock the trailer brakes is with the manual hand lever. This is noticeable at all times when attempting to stop while towing the trailer.”
