Driving down the road the following lights came on the dash some of them flashing and loud beeping sound, also displayed the following errors on the center lcd. Lights: ABS, brake, 4lo, 4hi, hazard triangle, bsm, traction contol, rcta. Warning messages: Drive start control malfunction, visit your dealer. Blind spot monitor malfunction, visit your dealer. Trailer brake error, if toeing come to a safe stop with manual controls, contact dealer. Rear cross traffic alert malfunction, visit your dealer. When this happened I pulled over to a stop, placed the truck in park and turned it off. Waited 10 sec and turned it back on, same messages and lights were on. Aprox 30sec later all lights turned off and everything was back to normal.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Tundra. The contact stated that the pre-collision system would independently function without a vehicle in front of him. Also, the pre-collision warning indicator illuminated. Avondale Toyota (1005 w papago fwy, avondale, AZ) was contacted, but the failure could not be replicated. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 18V122000 (electronic stability control). The dealer stated that the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Avondale Toyota was contacted again and refused to repair the vehicle due to its age. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Pcs system randomly turns itself off, rendering radar cruise control and other safety features useless. Started with less than 500 miles on the car. It has been in the dealership 3 occasions at this point with all updates completed and pcs light still illuminates on its own.

Vehicle pre collision system (pcs) malfunction/off light will illuminate upon engine start and turn off once several minutes have passed when driving. Light seems to illuminate more often when the temp is <40F. Unknown if the pre collision system is actually working when the malfunction light illuminates.

Multiple events. 2500 miles on vehicle. While driving 70mph in cruise control the pre-collision warning came on and vehicle applied brakes forcefully without any vehicle ahead of my vehicle until I turned off cruise control. After the event the traler brake malfunction statement and warning lights were on. Pre -collision failure light reset after key cycled off and back on. Failure occurred multiple times in multiple driving conditions, currently trailer brake failure light is illuminated. Each time I had to exit or pull over and stop vehicle, cycle key to have warning clear.

Driving truck on freeway with cruise control on at 80-85 mph. Road was flat and it was a clear sunny day. No cars near the truck and the precollision sensor went off causing the truck to almost emergency brake before I turned cruise control off. There was nothing in front of the truck to cause this. A few weeks before the precolision sensor and lane departure semsor went off and til me the truck needed to be taken to dealer. The sensors have gone off a few times saying they are inoperable.
