Three problems related to cruise control have been reported for the 2010 Toyota Tundra. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2010 Toyota Tundra based on all problems reported for the 2010 Tundra.
I was traveling north on interstate 65 from birmingham, al to franklin, TN. My criuse contfol was engaged and was traveling at 70 mph and I had to disengage the criuse control because of traffic. The button poped out and the criuse control was still engaged. In order to disengage the cruise control I had to tap the brake pedal. If the cars that I was traveling along side and in front of me had stopped it would have caused a accident. Needless to say the brake disengaged the cruise control.
Within a year or two of purchasing this 2010 Toyota Tundra I noticed erratic and unpredictable acceleration characteristics when accelerating to pass and when the cruise control was engaged going up hills. The speed would increase more than necessary to accomplish the task. I decided this behavior was a personality trait of the Tundra as it never caused an unsafe situation to occur. Over the last two years I have noticed a hesitation of acceleration from stopped. I can depress the accelerator pedal and the engine sounds like it wants to go but acceleration is very lethargic. Response to accelerator pedal depression is unpredictable in that at intermittent times it just does not cause much acceleration. The tendency is to then press further down on the accelerator pedal and then the truck will eventually take off rather fast. I have not yet visited my Toyota dealership about this but I do intend to. I believe that the acceleration issue in the Toyota Tundra is perplexing and dangerous. Somebody is going to be seriously hurt because of it. I am amazed that Toyota has not been held accountable. I am skeptical about Toyota's ability or interest in fixing the problem.
Problem with cruise control not disengaging properly when tapping the brake. The brake must be pressed to the point of actual braking for the cruise control to disengage. There have been several times when while trying to disengage by pressing the brake the engine started to rev up as if I was also pressing the gas pedal. The most reliable was to disengage the cruise control is the control on the side of the steering wheel (main cruise control on my truck). Will be taking the truck to the dealer this week.
