| Nov 2020 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HAVING A LEFT REAR SPEED SENSOR AND SPEED SENSOR WIRE WAS BROKEN DUE TO A PIECE OF PLASTIC PART CAME SEPARATED FROM THE WHEEL. HAVE ALL KINDS OF LIGHTS COME ON DASHBOARD AND FLASH ON AND OFF, UNTIL SENSOR IS REPLACED WITH NEW AT AN ASTRONOMICAL RATE, WHICH CANNOT BE REPLACED AT THIS TIME. FEEL THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, AS THE WIRE IS JUST HANGING THERE, ATTACHED TO THE WHEEL UNDERNEATH AND SHOULD BE FIXED AND ATTACHED SOMEWHERE ELSE, WHERE IT IS NOT LESS LIKELY TO BE PULLED OR DISRUPTIVE ON THE FUTURE, BY OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE IS. SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST AS I DO NOT KNOW IF OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD JUST BLINK OFF/ON CONTINUOUSLY, EVEN WHEN IT STARTS AND FROM THE TIME THE VEHICLE STOPS.

PRE COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. VISIT YOUR DEALER. THE MESSAGES WOULD NOT CLEAR, DROVE 80 MILES (FREEWAY) OR SO HOME, TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE, NO ISSUES ON THAT SIDE, THE FOLLOWING DAY I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED (AAA) DUE TO THE PRE COLLISION SYSTEM FAILURE ERROR... I GET A MESSAGE FROM THE DEALER TO SAY I HAVE FUEL CONTAMINATION AND IT'LL COST $1400 PLUS TANK REFILL, NO MENTION OF THE ERROR CODES THAT WERE ON! APPARENTLY THEY SAID DUE TO A MIS-FIRE IT THROWS THOSE CODES. I NEVER FELT AND MIS-FIRING WHILE DRIVING, WE PICKED THE TRUCK UP, FILLED HALF THE TANK ADDED INJECTOR CLEANER AS A PRECAUTION......THERE WERE NO RUNNING PROBLEMS, THE ERROR CODES HAVE GONE....

AND OF COURSE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET SINCE 2016 AND UP, WITH NO FIX OR RESPONIBILITES TAKEN ON TOYOTAS PART.
