What owners wrote
I purchased a 2018 toyota, tundra truck in 1/2018. On 3/5/19 at apprx 8 am. I assume an electrical fire started beneath the center console. While at a standstill, on my driveway, around 8 am, a fire started inside the toyota.the fire could not be extinguished with water and continued to grow and only after a fire extinguisher was used was the fire extinguished. The flames had consumed the plastic in the center console to the automatic gear shift.
The pcs always come on the truck died when I was driving it also whent into limp mode on the highway couldn't drive over 20 MPH the truck slammed on the breake when I was driving it into a tunnel in seattle wa almost caused a big accident if there was a semi truck some one would have died the selling dealer lied to me on what's going on with my rig keeps telling me non of the problems that's happened isn't a safety problem they also look at stuff that's not what I bring the truck into for the problems they are…
