2018 Toyota Tundra Brakes Problems

Your truck's brake controller for towing frequently disconnects while you're pulling a trailer, causing you to lose braking power on the trailer itself. This happens unpredictably at any speed while towing, which is a serious safety issue. The problem appears to be affecting multiple 2018 Tundras. Fixing this will likely involve inspecting the brake controller wiring and connections, testing the controller for defects, or replacing the brake controller unit.
