Integrated Trailer Brake Control Problems of Toyota Tundra

Trailer brake controller does not work and it almost caused a crash. Now it does not even shows up on display as if truck is not even equipped with this module. Extremely scary and dangerous when towing 6000ib behind you and your trailer brakes fail to engage. Internet is bussing with Tundra owners with same issue.

1st off, I drive a 2018 Tundra, my integrated trailer brake controller doesnt apply brakes on any trailer. It throws an error message and will not work on any trailer type settings. Had trailer checked and tested with other vehicles and trailer works fine. And of course the same exact issue is all over the internet since 2016 and up, with no fix or responibilites taken on Toyotas part. Not habing trailer brakes is a very dangerous situation and believe that if I paid for the brake system I should have to buy an aftermarket one just to pull my trailers safely. 2nd issue is once again electrical, the radio shut on and off every 10 minutes or so. . . Will not keep presets saved etc, told Toyota and they tried to download and update and said the radio wouldn't except the download. Of course truck is out of the horrible offered 30k mile warranty. . . . So I have a 2018 Tundra 4x4 that has a broken radio and can't even pull a trailer. . . . . Hard to wanna make a payment for that kinda stuff.
