Headlight Switch problems of the 2016 Toyota Tundra

While driving at night, the activation of turn signal intermittently shuts off headlights. To re-energize headlights I have to manually switch the headlight switch from auto to on. This is very disturbing and dangerous while driving at night in rural areas. I am hoping someone addresses this with Toyota, since if they can't replicate the issue they send you home!.

If the headlights are set to auto and I signal a left turn and turn to the left, the headlights shut off and the interior lights switch to "day mode". The issue seems intermittent. It seems to occur in cooler temps (<50f).

Headlights turn off intermittently when the left turn signal is used and the headlights switch is in auto more. Dealership can't/won't replicate the issue so they will not troubleshoot further. . Read more...

Bought new 2016 Tundra limited 11/16/2015 and noticed that dash lights do not come on during daylight hours unless parking lights or headlights are on. In the off/drl position or the auto position no dash lights. When I called Toyota help line I was told that this change was made because if the driver can see the outline of the numbers on the gauges they do not need to be illuminated. He could not offer any reason for changing this standard feature. Other than not seeing the gauges sharper and clearer one safety defect is present. The Tundra has gauges instead of warning lights for engine operations and they are smaller than the speedometer/tachometer . The temp gauge is located on the lower left of the dash and cannot be seen clearly without the dash illuminated because that corner is dark if it is cloudy or early or late . If the engine overheats one would not see that problem on the gauge which might lead to engine failure ,etc. I have never owned a vehicle that required turning on the parking lights or headlights to illuminate the dash. . Dealer says that switch cannot be customized. Toyota should issue a fix for this mistake.
