Description of the problem	The factory supplied oem brake controller does not function properly, and is a significant safety issue. The current design or software is too conservative, and does not provide sufficient power to trailers with electric brakes. I have towed my new trailer with new brakes several times, and the result is consistent. With the brake controller set at full power, the actual trailer braking is minimal, therefore forcing the vehicle to provide some of the braking force. This works in controlled situations on level ground. But, in the mountains or emergency stopping, this represents a safety issue where i do not feel that the vehicle and trailer will be safely stopped without incident. A friend of mine has the exact same vehicle with the exact same issue. A simple internet search will reveal hundreds of similar complaints. This issue started with the 2015 model year. I'm concerned that toyota is continuing to ignore this issue due to legal liability regarding accidents that already occurred due to this engineering flaw. It is going on 3 years now without a fix. Toyota did issue a software upgrade last year which should have fixed this issue. I had the upgrade done, and it was almost imperceptible as to the difference. It was too conservative and still does not provide enough power, as compared to any brake controller on the market. Most owners have given up and installed aftermarket brake controllers like the tekonsha prodigy p3 model. I believe that the programming should be fixed so that the factory controller can be used safely.
