Reading the numbers
Across the 22 model years of the Toyota Tundra in this data, 2017 draws comparatively few complaints; 2000 is the outlier year.
Filings have fallen off, 18 in the last three years against 35 in the three before. The issues here may already have been addressed.
The median odometer reading at the time of complaint was 18,000 miles.
In owners' own words
When the signal stalk is placed on auto and it is clearly dark outside the headlights will intermittently turn off when putting the left turn signal into place. The lights will come back on when the signal stalk is back in the neutral position. This has happened while in motion, stationary, and at different outside temperatures. However, I have noticed this occurs more when the temperature is in the 40's. Electrical system · reported at 32,000 miles
While driving at night and the lights are on auto, pressing down for the left signal the headlights go out and the dash becomes dim as if I am driving during the day which im not. The vehicle is moving when the lights go out . Please find a resolution because this is dangerous and could cause others to collide with me while on the road.
