    So I need some input first off

    2011 Tundra TRD
    108,xxx miles
    no special mods aftermarket rims and tires

    Bought the truck 3 years ago with the current issue that I have from the dealership “wasn’t aware of issue at the time”

    My traction control engage all the time on wet roads gravel roads and of course snowy roads. And it doesn’t allow me to turn it off. Dash will say it’s off but it still will engage. This issue has been checked out at two separate dealerships and they say there’s no code and nothings wrong. I’ve almost totaled it a few times due to this issue. I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue as I’m serisouly considering trading it in and not getting another one. Any advise is appreciated.

    Example of what happens. Backing into my driveway with a dusting of snow it doesn’t allow me to give it any gas no power “obviously as the traction control is on” it’s not a steep driveway at all. Making me have to get a big run or putting it into 4x4

    Not nearly enough room here!
    You're remembering to push twice for 5 seconds or so between pushes, so all the nannies are gone?

    Yep, the even dash indicates that it’s off but still kicks in

    Only other thing I've heard is, unhooking negative battery terminal, so everything resets.

    Did the dealer ever mention anything about a zero point calibration? I have heard this can help. Don’t know much else about it sorry.
