When starting up my truck in the morning there is rough idle that cause truck to sputter and sound horrible. It eventually smooths out but I believe the computer needs flashing. When I look online some have a recall for the engine 3UR-FBE / 2018 Toyota tundra, but when I put in my vin # it shows no recall and throws off check engine light Code. Also my radar sensor that it on for cruise control is showing up on dash please contact dealer and flashing. They have replaced this before with recall and now it’s acting up again. Also traction control is lighting up I. The dash as well blinking along with all these codes.

All of a sudden the pre-collision system malfunctions and stops working and the lights go on in the dashboard and then causes the cruse control to stop working as well. I took it to Toyota and they stated they did not know what the cause of it would be.
While driving, multiple warning lights come on and multiple warnings scroll on the dash. Transmission shifting becomes irregular, hard, slipping, pre-collision alert fails, adaptive cruise control fails, ABS system deactivates. I know of this occurring on multiple other Toyota vehicles as well. This has happened three times and only resolves when battery is disconnected. Weeks or months goes by and it recurs.
The bluetooth signal (phone calling) keep disconnecting. The dealer, toyota of seattle tried to fix 4 times and they replaced the unit last time but I still have the same problem. They keep blaming on apple iphone.
Driving down the road the following lights came on the dash some of them flashing and loud beeping sound, also displayed the following errors on the center lcd. Lights: ABS, brake, 4lo, 4hi, hazard triangle, bsm, traction contol, rcta. Warning messages: drive start control malfunction, visit your dealer. Blind spot monitor malfunction, visit your dealer. Trailer brake error, if toeing come to a safe stop with manual controls, contact dealer. Rear cross traffic alert malfunction, visit your dealer. When this happened I pulled over to a stop, placed the truck in park and turned it off. Waited 10 sec and turned it back on, same messages and lights were on. Aprox 30sec later all lights turned off and everything was back to normal.
