I've had the truck now for 6 months and am averaging 17-18 mpg. Other than that, I love everything about this truck. I know my comments above are focused on the negatives of what I don't like. I now disable this system before I leave my driveway. It's now happened 3 different times now and is incredibly concerning. It honestly scared the hell out of me as I've never had anything like that happen. In addition, the car behind me almost slammed into me because my truck auto enabled the brakes in the middle of the road at a green light. Both my dogs in the back seat were also thrown forward and my 12 year dog injured his back leg and hasn't been able to go on a walk since. All of a sudden, the truck sounded these very loud beeping alarms, "BRAKE" in red flashed on my dash, and the truck overrode my control and locked the brakes throwing me forward bringing me to a complete stop in the middle of the road at a green light. The light turned green and knew by the time I got close to the car in front of me, they would be moving forward so braking wasn't needed. One day I was driving and was about 100-150 yards away from a red light and was coasting to the stoplight around 30MPH. Well this system doesn't differentiate between a bush vs a wall and will systematically trigger the brakes locking them up not allowing you to pull forward. The PCA system will sense if the truck may be getting to close to the vehicle in front of you, or if you or pulling into a parking spot with a bush in front, you sometimes have to pull forward a bit so you aren't sticking out. I've already informed the dealer and have submitted feedback to the manufacturer. PCA: I think this is the biggest bug in the Tundra and is going to hurt someone. Not the biggest issues but something that does bother me Each time you turn your vehicle off, when you start it again, the start/stop system defaults to on so I have to turn it off every time I get in my vehicle. I wish there was a way to disable this permanently. Start/stop: I understand the concept of this feature however no matter what technology is introduced having your vehicle turn off when approaching a light after a long drive cannot be good on the engine, starter or the turbo. My biggest issue with the tundra is the start/stop … functionality and the PCA (pre collision assist system) Obviously I was concerned with the power but let me tell you, this truck moves and has plenty of power to tow boat/trailer while maintaining the comfort and drivability of the vehicle. I recently switched from and older 7.3L F-250 to the 22 tundra platinum edition and am very pleased with the truck although I did have some concerns.
