In owners' own words
While driving, multiple warning lights come on and multiple warnings scroll on the dash. Transmission shifting becomes irregular, hard, slipping, pre-collision alert fails, adaptive cruise control fails, ABS system deactivates. I know of this occurring on multiple other Toyota vehicles as well. This has happened three times and only resolves when battery is disconnected. Weeks or months goes by and it recurs. Electrical system
All of a sudden the pre-collision system malfunctions and stops working and the lights go on in the dashboard and then causes the cruse control to stop working as well. I took it to Toyota and they stated they did not know what the cause of it would be. Electrical system
emissions control pump and valves.it is available for inspection. Truck would only reach 60 mph. pressing the accelerator further causes the truck to slow down. yes dealer diagnosed parts that need replacing. Not inspected by manufacturer or others. see dealer for service light would shine at engine startup for two weeks prior to this problem. I don't know if this pertained to this problem. Engine
