Toyota safety sense sensors randomly malfunction and flash false warning lights. My truck will tell me to brake and beep alarms at me even if nothing is in front of me. This has happened around 10 times, and one time my truck slammed on my brakes on the interstate for no reason. Luckily this was at night with no other vehicles around. Myself and many other folks have had serious issues with this system and toyota…

Pcs system randomly turns itself off, rendering radar cruise control and other safety features useless. Started with less than 500 miles on the car. It has been in the dealership 3 occasions at this point with all updates completed and pcs light still illuminates on its own.

The pre collision warning light illuminates a various times. The cruise control will not work when illuminated. The sensor has been kept clean. It does not give a failure code at the dealer. It was reprogramed. The pre collision braking was a major feature in my buying process and it does not work correctly.

Toyota's pre collision sensor is unreliable and intermittently produces an error "pcs sensor unavailable -- clean sensor". The safety portion of this complaint comes when dynamic cruise control is set. When the sensor no longer detects a vehicle in front of you, and there is clearly there, the vehicle will accelerate at a high rate of speed before the error shows on the dash cluster if the cruise control is set…
