Mice are able to enter the air ventilation system from a large gap at the ends of the air intake grill below the windshield, once in, they enter the cab and dash area. These mice will damage the wiring and cause a vehicle system failure (braking-power-air bag, etc.) I have reported this to my dealer rochester Toyota and Toyota customer service (800-331-4331). The dealer has acknowledged that this is a issue and only suggestion was to put a scent in the cab to discourage the mice. This is serious manufacturing flaw that needs a retro fitted air intake grill to close off it's current gap that allow mice to enter the ventilation system. I have installed steel mesh to cover these large gaps (photos attached). A recall to correct this problem should be issued.

The contact's parents purchased a 2018 Toyota Tundra (na). While driving approximately 30 mph, a vehicle suddenly cut in front of the driver and caused a chain reaction of sudden stops with several vehicles. The driver rear ended the preceding vehicle. The air bags and Toyota safety sense system failed to activate. The safety sense feature was supposed to stop the vehicle automatically due to objects (vehicle) being in close proximity at a fast rate. The front end of the vehicle had severe damage and was towed. The contact was unsure if a police report was filed. The driver received injuries to the neck and arm area, which required medical attention. The contact was not aware if the vehicle was totaled or able to be repaired. The contact was unaware if the dealer was informed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

On July 8, 2017 we had just purchased a new 2017 Tundra. We tow a 24 ft. Rv trailer and we purchased this vehicle for that reason. One of the features this vehicle has is the integrated brake control system for towing. As we were headed home on state hwy. 42 near coos bay, Oregon, I noticed blue smoke coming from the rear of the pickup. I wasn't sure what happened. I stopped as soon as I could and I couldn't locate the cause of the smoke. I later learned there has been many consumer complaints regarding the faultiness of this integrated brake system controller. I want this issue fixed so I can be assured of a safe trip when towing my rv trailer without the fear of having no trailer brakes when I need them or having them lock up for no reason. Thank you
