Warning lights lit up like Christmas at 938 miles

We're working on a new intercooler upgrade for the 4th gen Tacoma, and it's shaping up to be a solid improvement over the factory unit. The core features more charge air rows for better thermal efficiency, and we're using cast aluminum end tanks for improved strength and flow characteristics. Lower intake air temperatures during high-stress conditions are the main goal here. As most know, once IATs rise past a certain point, the ECU begins pulling timing and boost to protect the engine, which means power drops off. This setup is designed to delay that threshold and keep performance consistent for longer periods. The prototype is already in development. We're currently testing with 3D printed aluminum-magnesium end tanks to validate fitment and flow. Once we have it on the truck, we'll be posting dyno and temperature data so everyone can see the actual performance difference. If you're pushing your Tacoma hard or live somewhere hot, this will be worth watching.

I just got my Tacoma on 9/13/24 and now with barely 1k miles on it and after simply running errands around town, The dash lights up with check engine, system malfunction, drive assist malfunction etc etc and it struggles to start. wtf
So far the dealership has no idea what happened and they couldn't replicate the issue when I dropped the truck off. I'm calling bullsh#t on that. It happened to me 3 x and the tow truck driver as well. Anyone else have these issues that were explained?
