After two weeks Toyota came back on 10/9 and said I would need to have the dealer run a diagnostic without the aftermarket stuff (Radios connected to the battery) and I would need to pay for it unless it found something. I said I see no value in running a diagnostic a third time and was not...

Thanks for the thought I did buy a Starter Relay and it is in the glove box now. I am waiting to see what Toyota will do if anything with the case I opened

My faith in Toyota is restored I called the Brand Engagement number and they sent authorization to the dealer to replace the starter and reimburse me for the Neutral Safety Switch and Battery They said the dealer should have this by Monday and to expect a call from them

Looking for any idea or suggestions on how to get Toyota involved so this can be fixed under warranty This failure has occurred twice, first in Dec 19, 2025 and again on Sept 23rd 2026. What happens both times after driving someplace for 20 minutes and coming back to the truck after an hour...
