SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A NEW TRAILER TO PICK UP MY NEW TRACTOR. I TESTED THE TRAILER BRAKES KNOWING I WAS PULLING A LARGE LOAD AND DIDN'T WANT AN ACCIDENT. THE BRAKES APPEARED TO APPLY BUT DUE TO IT NOT BEING LOADED WHEN TESTING I HAD IT SET TO 5(OUT OF 10). WHILE PULLING IT BACK HOME ON THE INTERSTATE TOWING MY TRACTOR BEHIND ME THERE WAS TRAFFIC STOPPING AHEAD. I ALWAYS DRIVE IN THE RIGHT LANE TO NOT SLOW OTHERS...THANK GOD I DID. I HAD TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER TO MISS HITTING OR DRIVING OVER CARS AHEAD OF ME! THE BRAKES TURNED UP TO 10 DID NOTHING TO EVEN SLOW ME DOWN. I WAS TOWING 4 TONS AND 3 TONS FOR THE TRUCK TOTALING 7 TONS, SOMEONE WOULD'VE BEEN KILLED! TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIX THESE TRAILER BRAKES! I CAN'T TOW MY TRACTOR ANYWHERE FOR WORK DUE TO THE BRAKES BEING UNSAFE!

WHILE BACKING UP, I TAPPED A POLE STICKING OUT OF THE GROUND AND DENT MY PLASTIC BUMPER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A BODY SHOP WHERE THEY HAD TO ORDER THE BUMPER AND ASSEMBLY. SEVERAL DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE RIGHT REAR PORTION OF THE BUMPER FELL OFF. WHAT HELD IT IN PLACE WAS THE ELECTRICAL FOR THE BACKUP SENSOR. I ENDED UP USING TAPE TO HOLD THE BUMPER TO THE PICKUP AND WENT BACK TO THE BODY SHOP THE NEXT DAY.AS THE PARTS HAD COME IN. TOYOTA SAID THAT SINCE I BACKED INTO THE POLE THERE WAS NO COVERAGE FOR THE BRACKET OR BUMPER EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BUMPER BRACKETS I LATTER LEARNED.. THE BUMPER BRACKETS THAT HELD THE BUMPER IN PLACE WAS PURCHASED FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. IF I WAS TAPPED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT AND THE BUMPER FELL OFF IT NOW BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE PRIOR AND THE BUMPER DID NOT FALL OFF. THE BUMPER FELL OFF BECAUSE OF SAFETY DEFECT OF THIS VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN THE CITY.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW TOYOTA TRUCK. I STEP ON THE REAR BUMPER WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AND NEARLY BROKE MY LEG, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR BUMPER APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN ALREADY BROKEN. WHEN I TOOK THE NEW TOYOTA TRUCK TO THE PARKER TOYOTA COEUR D'ALENE IDAHO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THE REAR BUMPER WAS UNDER RECALL. A "...EQUIPPED WITH RESIN REAR STEP BUMPERS AND RESIN REINFORCEMENT BRACKETS AT EACH CORNER." YET THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THIS I HAD TO DRIVE AROUND WITH THIS CRACKED BUMPER. THE BUMPER EVENTUALLY CAME OFF ON THE FREE WAY AND BROKE APART. I RETURNED AFTER PARKER TOYOTA IN COEUR D'ALENE, IDAHO HAD THE PARTS AND I HAD THE TIME. BOB TOLD ME THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE BUMPER. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY FAULT THAT I STEPPED ON THE PICKUP TRUCK'S BUMPER. I CALLED TOYOTA AND MY CASE NUMBER IS CASE NUMBER: 170-906-0652 JEREMY. THEY SAID PARKER TOYOTA REPORTED THAT THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF THE TRUCK, AND ALSO SINCE I STEPPED ON THE BUMPER THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE BUMPER. IF THERE IS ANY DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK, IT IS TINY AND IT HAD TO HAPPEN AFTER THE BUMPER WAS OFF THE TRUCK. TO HAVE ANY DAMAGE TO THE BODY AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO "THROUGH" THE BUMPER. I HAVE DRIVEN AROUND WITH THE CAR FOR NEARLY 1 YEAR AFTER THE BUMPER FELL OFF A NEW TOYOTA TRUCK. STEPPING ON A BUMPER, WHICH IS A VERY NORMAL THING TO DO WITH A PICKUP TRUCK SHOULD NOT VOID THE RECALL. IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT A BRAND NEW TRUCK HAD A RESIN BRACKET THAT GAVE WAY, INJURING ME, AND BECOMING A ROAD HAZARD. TOYOTA DOES NOT WANT TO PAY TO FIX THEIR PROBLEMS.

MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE BUMPER SCRAPED A CEMENT-BLOCK, CAUSING SOME MINOR COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER COVER IN AUGUST 2016. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FINE, BUT LATER ON I DID STEP ON THE BUMPER AND HEARD A CRACK AND THE BUMPER COLLAPSED. LATER I FIND OUT THAT FROM THE RECALL NOTICE THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM. AFTER CONTACTING LOCAL DEALER LANCASTER TOYOTA, CORPORATE 1 800 NUMBER, AND EMAIL CORPORATE ALL WERE NOT ABLE TO HELP ME. THEY ALL REFUSE TO FIX THE RECALL DUE TO DAMAGE, BUT THE DAMAGED AREA IS THE RECALLED REINFORCEMENT BRACKET. ALL THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BECAUSE I DID STEP STEP ON IT. I DID TRY TO WORK WITH THEM IN CAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO REPLACE THE OUTER BUMPER COVER THAT IS SCRATCHED, BUT THEY TELL ME I NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE WHOLE THING BEFORE THE RECALL IS DONE. THE PROBLEM IS IF I FIX THE WHOLE AREA THERE IS NOT NEED FOR THE RECALL WORK TO BE DONE BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR IT. THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A CLEAR ANSWER IF I WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE RECALLED WORK.

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.
