FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HARD STARTING ISSUE ON COLD START DUE TO FUEL PUMP/ECU FLEX FUEL ISSUE FFV ENGINE 3UR-FBE. DATA SHOWS READING FUEL ALCOHOL CONTENT @ 56% EVEN THOUGH I'VE NEVER RUN ETHANOL... THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM ID ON MANY TUNDRA THREADS ONLINE. IN ADDITION TO INCREASED ENGINE WEAR ON STARTS, FUEL ECONOMY IS REDUCED BECAUSE ENGINE IS MAPPED TO ETHANOL BASED FUEL INSTEAD OF STANDARD GASOLINE FUEL MAPPING.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPER MECHANICAL COMPONENTS UNDER THE HOOD BROKE LOOSE FROM WIPER TRANSMISSION ON DRIVERS SIDE DURING HEAVY RAIN/SLEET/SNOW WITHOUT WARNING. PASSENGER SIDE STILL WORKED. RESEARCH INDICATES YEARS 2015-2018 NON LUBRICATED, NON REPAIRABLE PLASTIC COMPONENTS USED IN MECHANICAL ARMS WEAR QUICKLY. RUST BECAUSE COMPONENTS NOT PROTECTED FROM WEATHER AS PRECIOUSLY BUILT. WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON TWO LANE ROAD IF NOT FOR PASSENGER TO GUIDE TO SAFE STOP. THIS OCCURRED ON TWO LANE HIGHWAY DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE COMPLETE WIPER COMPONENTS NEED TO BE SAFETY RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH REDESIGNED COMPONENTS ON ALL TOYOTA MODELS AFFECTED. WIPER LINKAGE - TOYOTA (85150-0C070).

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DASH INSTRUMENT AND GAUGE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK DURING DAYTIME WHEN LIGHTS ARE SET TO AUTOMATIC. BASIC INSTRUMENTS ARE NOT CLEAR AND REQUIRE THAT THE DRIVER BE DISTRACTED MUCH LONGER THAN IS ACCEPTABLE TO TRY TO READ THE DARK INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS CONDITION IS PRESENT IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP INSTRUCTED ME TO DRIVE WITH THE PARKING LIGHTS ON SO THE DASH WOULD BE LIT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS PROBLEM IS PRESENT ON ALL NEWER TOYOTA TUNDRAS. DRIVING IN THE DAYTIME WITH THE PARKING LIGHTS ON IS ILLEGAL. ADDITIONALLY, DRIVERS ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY NOT TO TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS AT DUSK AS MOST DRIVERS ARE USE TO HAVING THE LIGHTS SET TO AUTO. THIS AND THE DISTRACTION OF TRYING TO READ DARK AND DIFFICULT TO READ INSTRUMENTS WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

SERVICE BRAKES
INSTALLED FACTORY INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER IN 2016. CONTROLLER DOES NOT SUPPLY ENOUGH POWER TO THE TRAILER BRAKES EARLY ENOUGH TO STOP APPROPRIATELY (TRAILER PUSHES THE VEHICLE). EVEN AT MAXIMUM POWER, THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK THE TRAILER BRAKES IS WITH THE MANUAL HAND LEVER. THIS IS NOTICEABLE AT ALL TIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP WHILE TOWING THE TRAILER.

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I AM CONTACTING YOU REGARDING A RECENT SAFETY ISSUE MY PARENTS EXPERIENCED. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED: DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH, MY DAD WENT TO ADJUST HIS OUTSIDE MIRRORS. WHEN DOING SO, HIS FINGER BRUSHED THE "FOLD" BUTTON BY ACCIDENT, AND THE OUTDOOR SIDE MIRRORS FOLDED IN. HE WASN'T AWARE THAT HE TOUCHED THE BUTTON AS HE HAS NEVER USED THIS FEATURE IN THE PAST. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY ARE NOW DRIVING 70 MPH IN A VERY LARGE TRUCK AND DO NOT HAVE A CLEAR SAFE VIEW AS THEY HAVE TO CHANGE 4 LANES TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AND THEN NAVIGATE TO A SAFE AREA TO TRY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION HAS BEEN COPIED AND PASTED FROM THE OWNER'S MANUAL. " WHEN YOU ARE HEADING INTO A NARROW PARKING SPACE OR GARAGE, PRESS THE "FOLD" BUTTON IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THE SIDE MIRROR CONTROLS, JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. BOTH MIRRORS WILL FOLD IN TOWARD THE SIDE WINDOWS. TO PUT THEM BACK INTO DRIVING POSITION, PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN." IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS FEATURE IS DANGEROUS. THE FEATURE SHOULD ONLY OPERATE AT AN EXTREMELY SLOW RATE OF TRAVEL. THIS FEATURE IS ONLY NEEDED IN TIGHT PARKING SPOTS AND SHOULD NOT ENGAGE AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. THE OWNERS MANUAL EVEN STATES NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE MIRRORS FOLDED. BUT IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW THEY WERE ENGAGED, HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW TO RECTIFY IT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH? IT IS AN ACCIDENT AND A LAWSUIT JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
ALL 4 EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES STICK OPEN. (OCCASIONALLY) DOOR DOES NOT LATCH WHEN SHUT. DRIVING AWAY AND TURNING CORNER, DOORS FLY'S OPEN. TOYOTA SENT OUT 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM DETAILS' LETTER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, BUT SINCE DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE IT, THEY DENY CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. I PROVIDED PHOTO PROOF OF HANDLES STUCK OPEN THEY STILL WILL NOT CORRECT PROBLEM! CALLED TOYOTA I HAVE CLAIM # AND WROTE LETTER STILL REFUSE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. STATING THEY CANNOT DO WARRANTY REPAIR UNLESS IT CAN BE DUPLICATED AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS MY JOB TO TAKE OFF WORK AND KEEP BRINGING VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER UNTIL THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY DO NOT BELIEVE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF. WON'T REIMBURSE ME TIME OFF OF WORK TO KEEP BRINGING VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER. THEY ARE OF NO HELP. 9TH TOYOTA IN A ROW FOR ME. MOVING TO FORD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WITH THE MANY TIMES I HAVE SEVERELY TRIED TO START MY VEHICLE IT HAS A HARD START NOT DUE TO OTHER COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE BATTERY OR OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES BUT THE FLEX FUEL INTEGRATION IN THE SYSTEM NOT READING CORRECTLY. WITH THE REFLASH DONE MANY TIMES IT WILL STILL NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WITH THE VEHICLE ALWAYS AT A COLD START WEATHER IT WOULD BE A HOT DAY OR A COLD DAY IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE THE HARD START ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS MANY AFFECTS ON DRIVERS SAFETY AND COULD CAUSE SEVERITY ON THE ENGINE WITH FAULTS SOON TO HAPPEN. THE SERVICE BULLETIN IS A START BUT SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE ERROR TOYOTA HAS MADE WITH THIS COSTING MANY MANY OWNERS TO SUFFER HAVING TO TAKE TIME OUT OF THEIR DAY TO DO THIS AND THE COSTLY EFFECTS IT HAS. THIS REMEDY SHOULD BE HEARD BY EVERYONE IN THE TOYOTA INSTITUTE TO FIX THE ISSUE AND HAVE A HASSLE FREE SOLUTION TO BETTER ASSIST AND MAKE THE TOYOTA OWNER HAPPY TO KEEP ON PURSUING AND BUYING TOYOTA TRUCKS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON MY 2015 TOYOTA TUNDRA,THE LIGHT FROM THE RADIO DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT AT NIGHT IT MAKES THIS TRUCK VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WHEN IT RAINS AT NIGHT IT MAKES IT 10 TIMES MORE DANGEROUS. THIS TRUCK NEEDS A DIMMER SWITCH FOR THE BRIGHTNESS ON THE RADIO FOR NIGHT DRIVING. IF YOU WEAR GLASSES LIKE ME, THE LIGHT FROM THIS DISPLAY MAKE A GLARE. I HAVE TWO KIDS, ONE IS 15 MONTHS AND THE OTHER IS 3 YEARS. I DO NOT LIKE TO GO OUT AT NIGHT WITH THEM IN THE TRUCK DO TO THIS UNSAFE FEATURE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT !!!!
