Owner-reported complaints naming the driver-assistance system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

The electrical system malfunctioned, causing all warning lamps on the dashboard to light up. Because this happened while I was driving, I do believe that this electrical issue caused safety concerns for others on the road. The taillights went out first, seconds later, all remaining electrical failed at once, including airbags, windows, headlights at one point, pre collision warning lights, lane departure, and the breaking system failed as well. This caused safety concerns for myself, my passenger, as well as the public because all safety warning sensors failed at once while on the road. The problem has been confirmed by Roseville Toyota, who is a manufacturer, and who currently has the vehicle now, they said that there is definitely an electrical issue and most likely a short of some sort. The warning lamps and messages on the dash lit up one at a time, seconds apart from each other, until the entire dash was lit up completely while I was driving on March 24, 2023.

Crash reported

Intermit message "Trailer disconnect " message causing the trailer braking system to fail when attached to truck. Truck brakes are used to stop trailer at unsafe distances. Several trailers were used to verify. I have attached the fix but Toyota says its warranty issue. This is a "safety" issue. I had my 3 year old son in the truck when i had to apply the brakes and couldn't stop in enough time. The truck brakes could not handle the weight of the trailer hence why the trailer brakes were needed. Please prevent a death.

Pre collison warning system has turned itself off in the rain and states visit dealer for service. Never logs data and on when you get to dealer. Same system has also flash "Brake" on the highway at 65 mph when a dry sunny day and no cars around. I am worried it may actually brake by accident causing loss of control. Went to dealer on both occasions and because it doesn't log the data there was nothing they could do. Did my own research and there was a technical service bulletin for certain VINS (not mine) to "repair" this module behind the grill. It was done to my truck but not by my dealership before I took ownership. It should not have been done and Route 44 toyota just did nothing. I asked for a replacement and they wouldn't because there wasn't any codes listed to warrant it because the TSB wasn't for my truck even though someone did it. On their TSB it recommends replacement for my current issues but they wouldn't do it.

Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) malfunctions sporadically while driving. Warning lights illuminate and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) disengages when activated while driving. The Pre-Collision System (PCS) is turned off and flashes with the following error messages. - Pre-Collision System Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer - Auto Headlight System Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer - LDA Malfunction - Visit Your Dealer This has happened twice, first right after purchasing the vehicle brand new in 2019 and most recently last week on 5/22/2021. I took the vehicle into the dealer on 5/25/2021 and they seemed aware of this issue, but stated they could not reproduce it and there were no error codes logged. I showed them the video of this happening (link below) while driving through Nevada. I was told the errors will not disable the vehicle or put it into limp mode, but my concern is when this happens while using DRCC, which almost made me drive into the back of a tractor trailer on Interstate 80. The speed limit on I-80 in Nevada is 80 MPH. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WrxgM8SJeB02eO4a6E9tbyCeAr6gRRHs/view?usp=sharing

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
