Seat heater stopped working. Turns out there is a burnt connector leading to part number 87501-0C020, which appears to be a seat heater amp. One pin of the connector is completely melted. I've purchased this truck brand new from Toyota. Nobody has ever touched this part. Scared that it could have caught fire.

The front driver and front passenger door lock intermittently do not work. There are no specific parts of the day, time, weather conditions. It will work fine and then either one fails or the other, or both. Then its starts to work again without any issues. This has been going on for at least 12-18 months.

Headlights turn off intermittently when the left turn signal is used and the headlights switch is in auto more. Dealership can't/won't replicate the issue so they will not troubleshoot further. This is a problem that a lot of platinum and 1794 edition toyota tundras are having and it is being ignored by toyota; https://www.tundras.com/threads/auto-headlights-shut-off-with-turn-signal.22968/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tzrplq9wp4 I've had it into the dealership to check and they say there is nothing they can do. Pickup only has about 26k miles on it. First time it happened was on a freeway cloverleaf in the rain and luckily there were street lights because I was in the middle of a merge. Other times it has been signaling to turn left and entering the center turn lane on multi-lane roads. Always happens while it is dark outside because that's when the headlights are in auto which makes it more dangerous.

Once turn signal shuts off, lights come back on . It typically happens at night when it's cold out. Them is intermittent, this is so scary! I was going down the freeway at 80 MPH at night and my truck (full of my family) just disappeared when I changed lanes.

Once turn signal shuts off, lights come back on . It typically happens at night when it's cold out. It has now happened probably half a dozen times in the last six months. While problem is intermittent, it's very scary, as I'm driving blind on a rural road until the light come back on. On the tundras.com owners website, this appears to be a common issue. Help! Before someone gets hurt.
