Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The dash instrument and gauge lights do not work during daytime when lights are set to automatic. Basic instruments are not clear and require that the driver be distracted much longer than is acceptable to try to read the dark instrument cluster. This condition is present in all driving conditions whether stationary or in motion. The local Toyota dealership instructed me to drive with the parking lights on so the dash would be lit. The dealership said this problem is present on all newer Toyota tundras. Driving in the daytime with the parking lights on is illegal. …”
NHTSA complaint #11302654, filed 2020-01, 57,000 miles“At irregular intervals and at the most random of times my headlights will cut out (including dash lights & radio). It happened this morning driving to the airport but it has been months since it last happened. The road was smooth with no bumps that I recall. This has happened to me in the past while stopped at a stop sign as well.”
