This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The power locks for the front driver side and passenger side fail to work as expected. It is not consistent. When driving, it is supposed to lock automatically for safety but does not always lock (or unlock with the key fob when needing to get into the vehicle. Problem occurs when vehicle is stationary or moving.
Rear wheel or axle bearings make a noticeable loud humming sound when driving at road speed limit, especially when moving slightly left into a curve or right into a curve.
Integrated trailer brake controller intermitent failure. Trailer brakes work for a few braking cycles then fail completely with an error message on the truck of "trailer wiring type, or connection fault". turning the vehicle off and on resets the controller and "fixes" the problem until another few braking cycles, then repeats.
Today 01/31/2019 I was driving my 2016 Toyota Tundra 1794 crew max truck on the freeway in oakland, ca around 1:30 pm. I had been driving with the rear (facing) window down approximately 8 " I was in the process of closing the rear electric window and just as it closed I drove over a steel trench plate that had been placed on the freeway by cal trans all 3 things happened at once, the window closed, I drove over the plate and the sunroof exploded outward with a shotgun like bang, I had the sun shade closed so no glass fell on me. I believe that the change in cabin air pressure coupled with the impact of the trench plate was all it took to cause this flawed sunroof to explode under normal operating conditions. The weather was slightly overcast and approximately 64 degrees at the time. I have photos but can not upload them at this time. The vehicle is now at the local Toyota dealership.
About 3 months after purchasing my vehicle, I've noticed the front sensors (intermittently) keep going off. This happens once or twice every other week. Taken to dealership, at this time can't determine what's causing the problem. Also, the radio shuts off for several minutes, then comes back on.
Have had braking issues with integrated brake controller, no matter what power level I use there seems to be very little if no effect on the trailer braking. I can switch the integrated brake controller to electric over hydraulic and they apply the brakes and they grab immediately, it seems that the integrated brake controller in electric brake mode does not produce enough electrical power to activate the trailer brakes.
Cpsc:I purchased a 2016 Toyota Tundra pickup truck. The truck comes with an integrated brake controller for towing trailers, boats, etc. The ibc has two modes of braking, for trailers with electric brakes or for trailers with hydraulic brakes. The consumer stated the automatic braking did not work for the electrics brakes mode. Updated 04/21/2017
Integrated trailer brake controller not working. Set at its highest rating it still did not work. Checked trailer brakes with another truck and they work. Applied the brakes with the manual activator and no brakes. Came close to having an accident. Will be meeting with dealer on this issue. Research on the internet shows that this might be a common problem
The integrated elecric brake controller included in my platinum edition options for towing a trailer does not work. According to dealer, there is no fix from Toyota although they are aware of the issue.
Re: integrated break controller I wanted to express a serious safety concern I have with an item that now ships with the 2016 Toyota 5.7L Tundra's - the built in / integrated break controller for use when pulling trailers/campers/etc. It seems that regardless of the power setting, no noticeable power is supplied to the trailer brakes, even at its highest setting. It feels like the trailer/camper is pushing the truck, which can be a serious issue when stopping. This would happen every time I would tow and I was always very worried about causing an accident if I needed to stop quickly or if the road conditions were not idea. I've never felt this with other break controllers. It's my understanding Toyota has not acknowledged this as being an issue yet. After talking to many other Tundra owners everyone has the same issue, I've not talked to anyone that has a working integrated break controller in their 2016. I've taken out my integrated break controller that came in my 2016 Toyota Tundra and replaced it with an after market brake controller out so I can property brake with my camper attached. For now my issue is resolved, however, I am however very worried about others that might be using the integrated break controller and the huge potential for a serious accident because their trailer or camper brakes are not working. Please look into this before any serious accidents happen. Thanks!
Factory integrated brake controller does not work efficiently. With the ibc gain up to 10, the trailer brakes are not activated enough to slow the vehicle in a normal or emergency situation. The manual override slide bar barely engages the trailer brakes, it will not lock the trailer brakes as designed. Vehicle brakes begin to get to hot to slow both the truck and trailer coming down hills, extremely dangerous!
2016 Tundra crew max xpsx package, 4X4. Vibration in steering wheel at all speeds. Southeast Toyota states that the problem is just a operational characteristic of the truck.
