Ok this is a bit of a head scratcher. I've bought a N80 Hilux (2019 model with facelift) - finally saw the light and move over from the Prado. I've got it second hand, and seriously now hoping I've not bought a lemon. Here goes:
I was driving back from Toowoomba - bout an hour out of Brisbane tonight. I'd noticed as I was coming down the range when I hit the brakes the lights would 'dim' ever so slightly. Seemed to happen every time I hit the brakes, would brighten soon as I took my foot off the brake.
Then halfway home I was trying to get the high beam light bar to work and when I turned the high beam on the radio turned off and turned back on again.
I hit the high beam again, same thing happened.
I then was changing lanes and when I hit the indicator the same thing happened - radio reset then turned back on.
Finally, I tried the windows - radio was fine but when I hit the door lock button it did it again.
Pulled up and turned the car off - had a scan through this forum, couldn't find anything, then turned the car back on and it drove home no problem - no dimming when I hit the brake, the radio stayed on, high beam worked / no impact on radio etc.
Very strange.
The other thing that leads me to think the car is possessed is that the clock doesn't hold time... it loses time or appears to reset all the time - it reset today back to 1:00 but I don't know if that's a coincidence or not.
Welcome any and all though.
It's still under warranty so will be on the phone with Toyota tomorrow.
