Consumer Description

WHILE TRAILERING MY 6800 POUND TRAVEL TRAILER FOR THE FIRST TIME AND AFTER I HAD MANUALLY SET THE FACTORY ELECTRIC BRAKES, A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND THE ELECTRIC BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP MY TRAILER OR EVEN SLOW IT DOWN. THE BRAKES WERE SET AT AN 8.5 ON THE READOUT. I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF AN ACCIDENT AT ABOUT 45 MPH. NEXT, THE BRAKES WERE ADJUSTED ALL THE WAY UP TO A SETTING OF 10. THIS ALSO DID NOT HELP TO STOP THE TRUCK AND TRAILER WITH BRAKING HARD AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AFTER I HAD TRIED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES TO ADJUST THE BRAKES WITH NO SUCCESS. AT THIS POINT, I AM AWAITING TOYOTA TO COME UP WITH A FIX BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED. THIS ISSUE IS WIDE SPREAD ACROSS TUNDRA FORUMS ONLINE.
