2018 TOYOTA TUNDRA Complaints

WHEN ITS MOIST OUT. THE CRUISE WILL AUTO CANCEL ITSELF AND THE PCS FAILURE LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH. HAPPENS SEMI OFTEN. DEALER STATES THEY CAN'T FIX IT BUT TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE TRUCK BRAKES FOR GHOSTS AS I DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THEY CAN'T FIX THIS EITHER.

I PURCHASED A 2018 TOYOTA, TUNDRA TRUCK IN 1/2018. ON 3/5/19 AT APPRX 8 AM. I ASSUME AN ELECTRICAL FIRE STARTED BENEATH THE CENTER CONSOLE. WHILE AT A STANDSTILL, ON MY DRIVEWAY, AROUND 8 AM, A FIRE STARTED INSIDE THE TOYOTA.THE FIRE COULD NOT BE EXTINGUISHED WITH WATER AND CONTINUED TO GROW AND ONLY AFTER A FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS USED WAS THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED. THE FLAMES HAD CONSUMED THE PLASTIC IN THE CENTER CONSOLE TO THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SHIFT. THE FIRE HAD RUN ALONG THE SAME PATH THAT THE WIRE RUN WHICH COULD BE VISUALLY SEEN. WE TRIED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE A DISTANCE FROM A BUILDING BUT COULD NOT SHIFT IT FORWARD ONLY BACKWARDS. WE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE AND AFTER INSPECTION THEY DETERMINED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THERE HAS BEEN NO AFTER MARKET ADDITIONS TO THIS VEHICLE. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON3/8/19. A CLAIM WAS FILED WITH TOYOTA (#[XXX]) THEREAFTER. IT IS NOW MAY 2018 AND TO DATE WE DO NOT HAVE OUR CAR BACK NOR KNOW OF THE STATUS OF OUR CLAIM. AS AN FYI THE TRUCK WAS SERVICED ON 8/2018 AND THEY ADVISED US THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRUCK BATTERY WITH A BRAND NEW BATTERY ON THIS SAME NEW CAR - SOMETHING ABOUT NOT KEEPING THE CHARGE. THE FIRE WAS ON 3/5/19 AND IT IS NOW 5/3/19 AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN ADVISED ON THE STATUS OF THE VEHICLE. ON ONE OF THE PHONE CALLS I WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS AT PRODUCT LIABILITY. ONE MY PHONE CALL TODAY THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN I WOULD HAVE MY TRUCK BACK OR THE OUTCOME OF THE INVESTIGATION. THE TRUCK'S APPROXIMATE MILEAGE WAS 20K. I WAS ADVISED BY MY STATE'S AG THAT I WAS OBLIGATED TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO YOU. I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS AND I WOULD LIKE MY 2018 TOYOTA AS IT SHOULD BE.

DRIVING AT 45MPH COMMING UPON AN EMPTY INTERSECTION WITH A STOP LIGHT. BRAKES CAME ON AND WARNINGS FLASHED YET NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TUNDRA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KENNY KENT TOYOTA (5600 DIVISION ST, EVANSVILLE, IN 47715, (812) 618-0061) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,531.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE SENSORS RANDOMLY MALFUNCTION AND FLASH FALSE WARNING LIGHTS. MY TRUCK WILL TELL ME TO BRAKE AND BEEP ALARMS AT ME EVEN IF NOTHING IS IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED AROUND 10 TIMES, AND ONE TIME MY TRUCK SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES ON THE INTERSTATE FOR NO REASON. LUCKILY THIS WAS AT NIGHT WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND. MYSELF AND MANY OTHER FOLKS HAVE HAD SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS SYSTEM AND TOYOTA DOES NOTHING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM.

COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ENGAGED RANDOMLY WITH NO KNOWN CAUSE AT LOCATION TRAVELED ON A FREQUENT BASIS. AT BETWEEN 40-45MPH ON A SUNNY DAY AT TEMPERATURE IN UPPER 60'S AND A LOCATION THAT I TRAVEL MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ENGAGED ON THE DASH BOARD. THERE WERE NO CARS, GUARD RAILS, TREES OR OTHER MAJOR METAL OBJECTS ON OR NEAR THE ROAD AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. TOYOTA SERVICE MGR INDICATES THAT THERE WAS NO DATA LOGGING OF THE EVENT AND TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE; INDICATES THAT WITHOUT 'EVIDANCE', THEY CANNOT MAKE A REPAIR. HOWEVER, THE EVIDENCE OF INTERMITTENT SENSOR OR COMPUTER FAILURES IS NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE IF PROPER DATA LOGGING EQUIPMENT IS NOT INSTALLED IN THE SYSTEM. PREVIOUSLY, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM HAD BEEN ENGAGED BY AN ONCOMING BUS IN THE ADJACENT LANE (NORMAL DAILY DRIVING CONDITION, NO EXPECTATION OF COLLISION) AT 30MPH. PARKING COLLISION SENSOR (LEFT FRONT) WAS ALSO TRIGGERED IN MINOR SNOWFALL AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER 12/2017 AND HAD ALL SCHEDULED SERVICES.

ON A QUICK HARD BRAKING..APPLIES BRAKE THEN WITHOUT LIFTING BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE THE. TRUCK AUTOMATICALLY RELEASES IT AND SLIDES FORWARD SOME DISTANCE...THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION...THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE BEFORE....THIS TIME RAN INTO A TURNING VEHICLE

LOSS OF DYNAMIC RADAR-CONTROLLED CRUISE CONTROL: CLEAN SENSOR, ONCE ON CITY STREET, THEN I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, IT CLEARED ITSELF, THEN A FEW MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. IT CAME BACK ON. I CHECKED MY VIN# AND MY TRUCK IS NOT LISTED FOR THE SAME RECALL THAT I HAVE SEEN OTHERS GET.

THE PRECOLLISION WARNIG SYSTEM KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING FOR NO REASON. I HAVE THEM REPLACE 3 SENSORS, WINDSHIELD CAMERA AND FULL SAFETY HARNESSES ALREADY. HUNDREDS F OTHERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. EVEN THE REGIONAL TECH FOR TOYOTA HAS GIVEN UP AND TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA CORPORATE. BUT CORPORATE SAYS IT DOESN'T EFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK WHEN IT'S MALFUNCTIONING, MEANING SOMEONE WILL GET HIT WITHOUT THE SAFETY SYSTEM ENGAGING. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME SUNNY DAY, RAINING, HOT OR COLD. BEEN HAPPENING SINCE JUNE IN FIRST 1000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP
