| Apr 2019 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES | LESS THAN 3000 MILES WHEN INCIDENT HAPPENED. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY THE DASH SCREEN SAID BRAKE AND A CHIME WAS HEARD. IT WAS LATE EVENING 3 DAYS AGO AND THEIR WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME. MY INITIAL REACTION WAS TO BRAKE HOWEVER I DID NOT. IT ALSO HAPPENED TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES AT ABOUT 45 MPH ON THE FINAL FEW MILES FROM MY HOME. THE INDICATOR DID NOT STAY ON LONG ENOUGH TO GET A PHOTO OF IT. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I FILED A CASE WITH TOYOTA USA. I THEN CALLED THEM THE NEXT DAY. TODAY I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT TAKING IT IN FOR THE TO CHECK. AT THAT TIME THE SERVICE REP ADVISED ME THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PART SENSOR ON THE ANTI COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM. I RECEIVED AN EMAIL REPLY FROM TOYOTA USA HOWEVER THE REPLY DID NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY INFORMATION , OTHER THAN THE CASE WAS GOING TO BE ENTERED INTO THEIR DATABASE. THEY WILL PLACE A FOAMY TAPE ON THE BACK OF THE SENSOR AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT. THIS SEEMS A BIT UNDER DONE AND A BAND AID FOR WHAT COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. IF IT IS A WATER ISSUE (NO RAIN ON THE DAY IT HAPPENED AND DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE WAY TO MY DESTINATION) I RESEARCHED THE VIN FOR THE RECALL AND I RECEIVED "THERE IS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN, ANSWER. HOPEFULLY THE NHTSA WILL DO A SIMPLE WEBSITE SEARCH AND SEE THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

| Feb 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | PCS SYSTEM ON 2019 TOYOTA DISPLAYS THAT THE SYSTEM IS "ON" BUT THE ICON ON THE DASH SHOWS "OFF". I HAVE PICS TO PROVIDE PROOF. BEEN HAPPENING BEFORE THE FIRST SRVC ON THE TRUCK. WHEN IN DURING SRVC TO EXPLAIN, DEALERSHIP DIDN'T FIND PROBLEM. LEFT AND IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. SINCE THE 5K SRVC THIS HAPPENS PRETTY MUCH DAILY, I'M NOT SURE IF THE PCS IS GOING TO WORK OR NOT AS I HAVE BECOME LEARY OF THIS FEATURE BEING A SAFETY FEATURE AND MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE WITH TOYOTA NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP IN CORRECTING IT. MULTIPLE FORUMS ON THIS SUBJECT HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED AND OTHER CASES HAVE BEEN STARTED AT NHTSA FOR THIS SAME CONTINUED PROBLEM. A SAFETY FEATURE THAT DOESN'T WORK ISN'T A SAFETY FEATURE; IT'S A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. | Crash: No Fire: No | 5,000 |
