Description of the problem | The built in trailer brake controller does not work properly when used with any trailer equipped with electric brakes. It is not capable of controlling loaded trailers safely. I have brought this matter to the attention of toyota and the master technician at my local dealership says he understands the problem and can reproduce the safety issue under testing - but at this time the manufacturer has no recommended solution in place to fix this issue. Please help as it is dangerous. Defect was also evident on a second similar brand new vehicle taken from dealer lot for testing at my last visit to dealer. |
