1 Brake Sensor problem of the 2019 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 04/09/2019

Less than 3000 miles when incident happened. While driving at 55 mph on a highway the dash screen said brake and a chime was heard. It was late evening 3 days ago and their was absolutely no other vehicles around me. My initial reaction was to brake however I did not. It also happened two additional times at about 45 mph on the final few miles from my home. The indicator did not stay on long enough to get a photo of it. When I returned home I filed a case with Toyota USA. I then called them the next day. Today I contacted the dealer about taking it in for the to check. At that time the service rep advised me there is a recall on the part sensor on the anti collision avoidance system. I received an email reply from Toyota USA however the reply did not provide me with any information , other than the case was going to be entered into their database. They will place a foamy tape on the back of the sensor after running a diagnostic on it. This seems a bit under done and a band aid for what could be a safety hazard. If it is a water issue (no rain on the day it happened and didn't happen on the way to my destination) I researched the VIN for the recall and I received "there is no recall associated with my VIN, answer. Hopefully the NHTSA will do a simple website search and see the numbers of people having this issue. I prefer not to have any safety issues while transporting my family in the vehicle.

2 Brake Sensor problem of the 2018 Toyota Tundra

Pre-collision system warning and "brake" warning light keeps coming on and warning me for no reason, Toyota have repealed the sensor 3 times so far and the system keeps failing, my biggest concern is the vehviae will start braking for no reason and end up getting rear ended by another vehicle. This been happing since we bought the truck, pictures shows all warning over the last 14000 miles.

3 Brake Sensor problem of the 2018 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 05/01/2018

Pre-collision sensors. Pre-collision sensor has gone off twice advising me to brake. Both times there was no other vehicle around me nor was there anything to the sides or in front. Took it to the local dealership and they called Toyota corporate (?). Was advised there's no fix and to continue driving the vehicle and annotate all factors surrounding my vehicle if it goes off again. Seems like an extremely unsafe alternative to finding out why a pre-collision sensor goes off. I should not feel unsafe driving my vehicle.

The pre collision warning light illuminates a various times. The cruise control will not work when illuminated. The sensor has been kept clean. It does not give a failure code at the dealer. It was reprogramed. The pre collision braking was a major feature in my buying process and it does not work correctly.

8 Brake Sensor problem of the 2000 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 06/02/2009

Our 2000 Toyota Tundra has continuously let us down in several areas such as; brake vibration, and the emergency brake cam arms are rusted so when releasing the parking brake, the shoes stay engaged, dragging on the brake pads causing warped drums. We have had a cracked exhaust manifold since 35k miles, transmission failure at 63k miles, continuous oxygen sensors issues (including two that fell out), broken sway bar mount, rusted tailgate mounts, and now the extreme frame rust. The truck is being eaten away by rust, causing parts to break and even fall off. Now the extensive frame rust has caused parts to fall off, and break. The latest is the passenger side spring shackle mount that was cracked and flexing, and now has completely broken off allowing the spring to rest along the underside of the body. We are very disappointed because this truck has been completely unreliable; it will not pass inspection and is now completely unsafe to drive.

9 Brake Sensor problem of the 2001 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 05/01/2009

My 2001 Toyota Tundra sr5 4wd. Access cab pick-up truck has a rusted out frame. My truck broke down on the highway(may 1st) I towed it to my mechanic shop. My mechanic replaced an oxygen sensor that had rusted away on the exhaust system. Further inspected the vehicle and said it had extreme corrosion (rust) on the frame, brake line connections, suspension mounts, exhaust system. . . . "rust everywhere". He suggested it was unsafe to drive because the brake line connection points were so corroded (rusted away) that they could fail while in operation.

11 Brake Sensor problem of the 2006 Toyota Tundra

Failure Date: 01/01/1901

Ltr from (TX) reporting problems with his 2006 Tundra motor vehicle. The cruise control has a problem down shifting 2 gears on minor grade for no reason, which caused the engine to rev to over 4000 rpms. The vehicle would not shift into overdrive while driving on the freeway. The brake will fade while sitting at a traffic light. The stopping distance on the vehicle was much longer than any other vehicle the consumer had driven. The vehicle was getting very poor gas mileage. There was an odor from the air condition. The tire sensor light illuminated, but it was resolved.
