1 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2018

Loss of dynamic radar-controlled cruise control: clean sensor, once on city street, then I stopped and restarted the vehicle, it cleared itself, then a few minutes down the road stopped at a stop sign. It came back on. I checked my VIN# and my truck is not listed for the same recall that I have seen others get.

2 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 10/17/2018

The avoidance collision radar can be intermittent. Sometime, it detects the vehicle in front of me, then stop working and my truck will accelerate towards the vehicle in front of me. At other time, the warning light will come on, saying the sensor needs to be cleaned, even though the windshield is spotless and drop my truck out of cruise control, causing a quick DE-acceleration. I was in front of a semi-truck going at highway speed when this happened and the semi-truck came close to hitting me in the rear end. I've had this into my Toyota dealer and they told me that the vehicle software does not record when the collision avoidance system isn't working. I consider this problem to be extremely dangerous and have avoided using my cruise control most of the time.

The pcs "pre-collision system" shuts off all the time! when cruise control is on and is supposed to slow down by itself when there's another car in front of you actually accelerates my vehicle that can create a severe accident by crashing into the vehicle in front of me! the system is designed on the radar base system that is supposed to slow down the vehicle to avoid an accident and it actually speeds it up which can cause a fatality!.
