The vehicle was struck by lightning on 8/13/17. The dealership where we bought this vehicle new agreed to fix it through our insurance claim and provides a lifetime warranty on the repairs. The vehicle continues to have problems. See the attached list of damages, which were provided to the dealership on 1/15/18. When I dropped it off I indicated the vehicle was malfunctioning again without the cruise control engaged. The dealership called today and very rudely stated they could not recreate the problem and will not fix the vehicle. The vehicle is unsafe to drive because of some of the issues. When I asked to speak to the customer service manager, the receptionist refused and said they will not fix my vehicle.

I have a serious safety concern regarding the lack of daytime vehicle instrument illumination on my new 2016 Toyota Tundra (while driving, stationary and on all roads) during the day. As an elder adult who wears sunglasses to protect their eyes (on the recommendation of the medical profession) the dash board (specifically the speedometer indicator) is barely discernible. Even without sunglasses the instrument panel is very dark. I am sure there are thousands of others who would like to see the instruments and operate their vehicles in a safe and lawful manner during the daytime or with sunglasses on. I am sure the decision, by Toyota, to not illuminate the dash in the daytime saves a few pennies and adds up for the manufacturer when you sell thousands of vehicles? but... not being able to see a dark instrument panel is bound to cause more than a few accidents.

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 its 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!
