Turned headlight switch to "on" position but lights did not turn on. Turned switch "off" and back "on" and lights still did not work. Wiggled the switch around some and the lights came on. Truck was sitting in my driveway when this happened. I was driving one night and turned my left turn signal on and the headlights went off. I was able to wiggle the switch around and get them to come back on to make the turn. When I parked I turned the right turn signal on and the headlights went out again. It seems there is a short somewhere in the switch.

Vehicle surges/jumps forward when the gas pedal is barely touched from the stationary/stop position while in drive. I was moving the vehicle about 2ft.this problem caused property damage this morning. This vehicle has had this problem from date of purchase. I reported this to Toyota in 2013. (2nd problem, ) this vehicle goes up to 2500 rpms when I turn down the next street which has a slight decline but the speed doesn't increase. This seems to happen in the morning when it is first used. I think this could be a defective computer module for both problems. (3rd) problem the instrument panel can not be read on a sunny day, you don't know how fast you are going or how much fuel you have, etc. The whole panel could be defective. I reported this problem to Toyota in 2013, they did not show any interest in these problem

I was driving with bright lights on I had fog lights on first time I had ever used them had a left turn to make turned turn signal on all lights went out I was in total darkness I turned signal off and lights came back on I pulled off the road I hit the signal again and the lights went our again and the gps unit we noticed changed from night mode to day mode. I turned signal off and the lights came back on I played around making it do it again and again so I thought this has never happened before what caused this ? since this was the first time ever driving using fog lights I turned them off then the turn signal had no effect so I assumed it had to be in fog lights I left them on and it didn't do it again. Latter in safer setting like in my drive way I found out it would happen with fog light off it seemed to be dependent on lights being on bright when I used either turn signal. It then stopped and I couldn't make it do it any more so I never made a appointment about two weeks ago it done it again while I was driving again this time it was doing it a lot so I made an appointment to get it fixed on my extended warranty 100 deductible took it to where I bought it and it wouldn't do it for them or me. So I paid them the 100.$ came home it hasn't done it again for about 5 days so far waiting for a cold spell in mid 20 deg to see if that makes any difference. But I did go on line and found forums for Tundra people experiencing same thing the Tundra had the exact problem I am having this is dangerous I have been lucky so far and have not had a wreck I cant believe Toyota doesn't know about this they had problems with other cars lights going out and lost a class action suit. This is an intermittent problem and could never get it to the dealer and make it do this. My bother in law was with me the first time they went out the tech got them to flicker 1 time no fix thou.
