“While towing a camper, I had a trailer brake warning light. I checked the connector and drove on, light came on again. Had minimal brake control on my camper brakes. I went to a dealer in ct, they said they had had 1 issue with one vehicle.. I made an appointment with my purchasing dealer. The master tech could find no problem. Said it was most likely a problem with the ground on my camper. I had towed this camper for 2 years with a 2012 Tundra with no issues. With the 2017, could not adjust the brakes or get them to lock up, even on setting # 10. …”
NHTSA complaint #11010396, filed 2017-07, 4,000 miles“Trailer brake controller does not work and it almost caused a crash. Now it does not even shows up on display as if truck is not even equipped with this module. Extremely scary and dangerous when towing 6000ib behind you and your trailer brakes fail to engage. Internet is bussing with Tundra owners with same issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11307515, filed 2020-02, 58,000 miles“With the headlight switch selected to 'auto' and when engaging the turn signal to the left durning night driving, all exterior and interior lights would go black until turn signal switch is moved to the on the position. Vehicle was taken local Toyota dealership service department to remedy the issue. Initially, this dealership thought it was the light sensor located on the dash of the truck and replaced it using a warranty claim. Almost immediately (next day), the vehicle repeated the same initial failure over 3 times in an hour. …”
NHTSA complaint #11186951, filed 2019-03, 29,000 miles“Interior dash and center console have highly reflective chrome bezels. The chrome reflects sun directly into driver (and passenger) eyes depending on the relationship of the sun and location of the vehicle while it is being driven. The reflections shine directly into the drivers eyes and occur at the same time across the length of the dashboard and center console. This reflection of sunshine into the interior is extremely distracting. Even if one holds up a hand in an attempt to block the bright reflection one can't block all the different reflections from the interior. …”
