SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I RECENTLY BOUGHT A TRAVEL TRAILER AND, AFTER READING THE MANUAL, WAS SETTING UP THE INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER (HERETOFORE REFERRED TO AS THE IBS). I WAS FOLLOWING THE USER MANUAL SUPPLIED WITH MY TRUCK WHEN I PURCHASED IT NEW STEP-BY-STEP. I EVENTUALLY HAD THE GAIN SET TO "10" AND WAS STILL NOT GETTING PROPER BRAKING PRESSURE FROM THE TRAILER. I GOT OUT, CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS, RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND TRIED AGAIN; SAME ISSUE. I CONNECTED A FRIENDS TEKONSHA P3 THROUGH MY TRUCKS IBC CABLE (USING HIS CABLE ADAPTER) AND TRIED AGAIN WITHOUT A PROBLEM. THIS CONFIRMS IT'S NOT A TRAILER OR WIRING ISSUE. I RECONNECT THE IBC AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK, TRYING AGAIN; SAME ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SHRUGGED THEIR SHOULDERS, SAID THEY SAW BEFORE WITH NO RESOLVE, AND SUGGESTED I BUY AN AFTERMARKET BRAKE CONTROLLER, TOO. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL HUNDRED OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, REQUIRING THAT THEY BUY AN AFTERMARKET BRAKE CONTROLLER TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS ONE (TWO LINKS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS COMPLAINT). THE DEALERS AND TOYOTA ARE UNABLE/UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
TRUCK IS RATED TO TOW 9100LBS, AND INCLUDES AN INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER FOR USE WITH ELECTRIC TRAILER BRAKES (WHICH IS NEW FOR 2016 TUNDRA'S). THE FIRST TIME I HOOKED THE TRUCK UP TO THE TRAILER, I SET UP THE TRAILER BRAKES USING THE OWNERS MANUAL. AFTER PULLING OUT ONTO THE STREET I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES THE TRAILER BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. MY TRAILER WEIGHS NEARLY 8000LBS. LUCKILY, THE MANUAL SLIDER WORKS TO ENGAGE THE TRAILER BRAKES, BUT EVEN ON A GAIN SETTING OF 10 (MAX) THE FOOT BRAKE FAILS TO ADEQUATELY ENGAGE THE BRAKES ON MY TRAILER. I HAVE TRIED 2 OTHER TRAILERS, AND TALKED TO MULTIPLE 2016 TUNDRA OWNERS ONLINE AND THIS PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT ACROSS ALL TUNDRA'S TOWING ANY TYPE TRAILER. UNDER HARD BRAKNG AT ANY SPEED MY TRAILER WANTS TO JACKNIFE AND PUSH THE TRUCK OUT OF IT'S WAY, BECAUSE THE BRAKES ON THE TRUCK ARE ENGAGING TO MAX AND THE TRAILER BRAKES ARE HARDLY ENGAGING AT ALL EVEN ON MAX GAIN SETTING. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AND TOYOTA IS NOT COMING FORWARD WITH A FIX. THEY CLAIM THE CONTROLLER IS "WORKING AS DESIGNED", BUT I TOW 8000LBS BEHIND ME AND WITHOUT ADEQUATE TRAILER BRAKES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IS JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AND FORCE TOYOTA TO ADDRESS THIS SERIOUS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. LUCKILY THE MANUAL SLIDER STILL WORKS, BUT THAT IS A BANDAID SOLUTION EVERY TUNDRA OWNER CAN'T BE EXPECTED TO DRIVE AROUND MANUALLY APPLYING THE TRAILER BRAKES SEPARATE FROM THE FOOT BRAKE. IF I CAN STOP MY TRAILER FASTER WHEN MANUALLY APPLYING THE TRAILER BRAKES THAN THE TRUCK WILL STOP WITH JUST THE FOOT BRAKE, THAN SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE! IN WHAT SCENARIO WOULD TOYOTA EVER WANT MY TRUCK TO STOP LESS QUICKLY IN A MAX BRAKING SITUATION? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, AND THEY NEED TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION!

RE: INTEGRATED BREAK CONTROLLER I WANTED TO EXPRESS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE WITH AN ITEM THAT NOW SHIPS WITH THE 2016 TOYOTA 5.7L TUNDRA'S - THE BUILT IN / INTEGRATED BREAK CONTROLLER FOR USE WHEN PULLING TRAILERS/CAMPERS/ETC. IT SEEMS THAT REGARDLESS OF THE POWER SETTING, NO NOTICEABLE POWER IS SUPPLIED TO THE TRAILER BRAKES, EVEN AT IT'S HIGHEST SETTING. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRAILER/CAMPER IS PUSHING THE TRUCK, WHICH CAN BE A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN STOPPING. THIS WOULD HAPPEN EVERY TIME I WOULD TOW AND I WAS ALWAYS VERY WORRIED ABOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IF I NEEDED TO STOP QUICKLY OR IF THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE NOT IDEA. I'VE NEVER FELT THIS WITH OTHER BREAK CONTROLLERS. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING TOYOTA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AS BEING AN ISSUE YET. AFTER TALKING TO MANY OTHER TUNDRA OWNERS EVERYONE HAS THE SAME ISSUE, I'VE NOT TALKED TO ANYONE THAT HAS A WORKING INTEGRATED BREAK CONTROLLER IN THEIR 2016. I'VE TAKEN OUT MY INTEGRATED BREAK CONTROLLER THAT CAME IN MY 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA AND REPLACED IT WITH AN AFTER MARKET BRAKE CONTROLLER OUT SO I CAN PROPERTY BRAKE WITH MY CAMPER ATTACHED. FOR NOW MY ISSUE IS RESOLVED, HOWEVER, I AM HOWEVER VERY WORRIED ABOUT OTHERS THAT MIGHT BE USING THE INTEGRATED BREAK CONTROLLER AND THE HUGE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEIR TRAILER OR CAMPER BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE ANY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. THANKS!

Potential Consequences:
INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. IN ELECTRIC MODE, NO POWER SETTING (1-10) IS ABLE TO GET THE TRAILER BRAKES TO LOCK UP WHEN THE TRUCK BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS IS A CRUCIAL TEST TO CALIBRATE THE TRAILER BRAKES BEFORE GOING ON THE ROAD, AND DEMONSTRATES THAT THE OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM THE BRAKE CONTROLLER ISN'T SUFFICIENT TO STOP THE TRUCK/TRAILER COMBO IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THE TRAILER BRAKES ARE ABLE TO LOCK UP WITH CERTAIN SETTINGS IF YOU MANUALLY ACTIVATE THE TRIGGER, DEMONSTRATING THAT THE CONTROLLER NOT ONLY HAS THE ABILITY TO LOCK UP THE BRAKES, BUT THAT THE TRAILER ITSELF ISNT THE PROBLEM. THE PROGRAMMING OF THE CONTROLLER IS SUSPECT.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I'M MAKING THIS REPORT DUE TO THE LAME INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER (IBC) IN MY 2016 TOYOTA TUNDRA. I'VE BEEN TOWING A CAMPER FOR THE PAST 13 YEARS AND I KNOW HOW TO SET UP A BRAKE CONTROLLER (BC) AND MORE IMPORTANTLY I KNOW WHEN THEY ARE WORKING OR NOT. WITH THE IBC, WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I GET NO FELT BRAKING FROM THE CAMPER EVEN WHEN SET TO THE HIGHEST GAIN SETTING (10) WHICH CONSIDERING THE GENERAL LIGHT WEIGHT OF MY CAMPER (5,000 LBS. LOADED), THE HIGHEST GAIN SETTING SHOULD LOCK UP MY TRAILER BRAKES. THE IBC SETTING FOR MY CAMPER IS ELECTRIC. I TOOK MY TRUCK AND CAMPER TO THE TOYOTA DEALER SO THEY COULD TEST THE CONTROLLER WHILE HOOKED UP. THE TECHNICIAN HOOKED THE TRUCK UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND WENT THROUGH ALL THE SETTINGS BOTH STATIC AND ON A TEST DRIVE. THE COMPUTER SHOWED THAT THE BRAKE CONTROLLER WAS WORKING; HOWEVER, EVEN WHEN SET ON THE HIGHEST SETTING, I COULD NOT FEEL THE TRAILER BRAKES KICKING IN. THEIR CONCLUSION WAS IN SPITE OF NOT FEELING THE BRAKES, THAT THE BRAKE CONTROLLER WAS WORKING. TOYOTA SAYS IT'S OKAY, BUT IF I JACK-KNIFE MY CAMPER, I'M THE ONE WHO HAS TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACCIDENT. AS THE RESULT OF HAVING ZERO CONFIDENCE IN THE ABILITY OF THE IBC, I ALREADY INSTALLED AN AFTER-MARKET BC (SAFETY CAN'T WAIT FOR A FIX). I BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE TOWING WITH THIS IBC, PARTICULARLY ANYONE TOWING AN EIGHT OR NINE THOUSAND POUND CAMPER IS AT RISK AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC ON OUR ROADWAYS. THE DEALER TOLD ME MY IBC WAS WORKING FINE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER FOUND NO ERRORS OR INCORRECT VOLTAGE LEVELS. WHILE THAT MAY BE TRUE, IT'S A TERRIBLE BC AND NOT SUITABLE FOR A TRUCK THAT'S RATED TO TOW A 10,000 LB. TRAILER. WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO SAY TO A FAMILY THAT GETS WIPED OUT IN AN ACCIDENT? 'WE'RE SORRY ' BUT DON'T LOOK AT US - THE BRAKE CONTROLLER WAS WORKING.'
