What owners wrote
Bought new 2016 tundra limited 11/16/2015 and noticed that dash lights do not come on during daylight hours unless parking lights or headlights are on. In the off/drl position or the auto position no dash lights. When I called toyota help line I was told that this change was made because if the driver can see the outline of the numbers on the gauges they do not need to be illuminated. He could not offer any reason for changing this standard feature.
My 2016 toyota tundra 1794 crewmax, during winter months in midwest - the headlights and and internal instrumentation will turn off when turning left or right with turn signal engaged. The automatic lights are engaged on column stalk and the issue occurs at night. The vehicle is in motion
