2019 Toyota Highlander Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING SLOW AND ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A PARKING SPACE, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHED ALONG WITH A CHIME. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE THE VEHICLE PROPELLED FORWARD. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO STOP THE VEHICLE HOWEVER THE VEHICLE CONTINUED OVER A CURB AND CRASHED INTO A POLE WHERE IT CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE SPEED TO STOP. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE RESIDENCE. THE LOCAL MILLENNIUM TOYOTA DEALER (257 N FRANKLIN ST, HEMPSTEAD, NY 11550) WAS CALLED WHERE IT WAS SUGGESTED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED THE DEALER BUT NO CALL WAS RECEIVED SO THE CONTACT CALLED AND LEFT A VOICEMAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS THEN CALLED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT PAPER WORK WAS NEEDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AND THAT THE BLACK BOX WAS TO BE INSPECTED WHICH COULD TAKE A WEEK FOR THE RESULTS AND A MONTH FOR A SOLUTION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V012000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER THE RECALL REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

VEHICLE RAN WELL FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS BUT STARTED HESITATING, REDUCED THROTTLE RESPONSE AND JUMPING FORWARD ONCE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED FURTHER. HESITATION FELT IN STEERING WHEEL AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IRREGULAR. NOTHING ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS, THEREFORE NOTHING WRONG ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP. HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION.

The contact owns a 2019 Toyota Highlander. The contact stated while attempting to make a turn in a parking a lot, the accelerator pedal became stuck on the mat, and the vehicle accelerated unintendedly. The contact stated that she depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that as she was approaching a guard rail, she turned off the vehicle. The vehicle jerked and the front end of the vehicle crashed into the guard rail. The air bags did not deploy. The contact stated that she sustained pain on the right foot and underwent surgery later. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer collision center, where the vehicle was repaired. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

I HAVE A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. A FRIEND INFORMED ME OF THE RECALL THAT WAS IDENTIFIED BACK IN JANUARY 2020 REGARDING THE FAILING FUEL PUMPS AND RISK OF CRASH. TOYOTA NEVER SENT ME A LETTER WITHIN THE 60 DAYS. I'VE BEEN WAITING ON A SOLUTION EVER SINCE. ON APRIL 30 (TODAY), I FINALLY GOT A LETTER LABELED "INTERIM NOTICE". THE LETTER SAYS THEY ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION. I HAVE FIVE CHILDREN AND IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ENDING UP IN A CRASH EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT WITH THE SITUATION. NO SOLUTION AFTER 4 MONTHS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND APPROPRIATELY RECOMPENSE OWNERS IN SOME MANNER IN ADDITION TO REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART FREE OF CHARGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V012000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED TOYOTA OF CLEVELAND (3560 VILLAGE N BLVD, MCDONALD, TN 37353, (423) 339-1138) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE ON JANUARY 13, 2020. IT IS NOW APRIL 26,2020 AND THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR THE ISSUES WHICH CAN RESULT IN A DEADLY CRASH. THE VEHICLE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL AND BE UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IT IS RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE THAT WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW, SUPPOSEDLY SAFE CAR, THAT NOW IS A DEATH TRAP. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME.

2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER XLE. AT 1230 MILES EPS FAILURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT TURN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TOYOTA UNIVERSE IN NEW JERSEY. RECALIBRATED THE COMPUTER. THE NEXT DAY THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE. WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE THE WARNING DISPLAYED AND STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. *TR

I OWN A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER, IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES DURING BUSY COMMUTE TO OR FROM WORK. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, THAT I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT TO ANY DESTINATION LONGER THAN 50 MILES. I NEED THIS CAR REPLACED, I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN, AND I PAYING FOR AN UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE CAR. I WOULD LIKE FOR TOYOTA TO REPLACE THIS VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT THIS TOYOTA HIGHLANDER XLE AWD A MONTH AGO AND WAS NEVER TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL OUTSTANDING. I AM TOLD THERE IS NO FIX AFTER 4 MONTHS AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THERE WILL BE ONE. THIS CAR CAN STOP SUDDENLY AT HIGH SPEED AND IS NOW A DEATH TRAP FOR ME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS. WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS???? *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 2019 HIGHLANDER 2 MONTHS AGO AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON-THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS BURNT UP, REPLACED IT, NOT EVEN 24 HOURS LATER THE CAR WAS POURING GAS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON..IT BARELY HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. I WILL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN. WE ARE STUCK WITH THIS CAR AND IT'S A TICKING TIME BOMB WITH AN OPEN RECALL WE WERE NOT INFORMED OF THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS, IT WENT INTO LOW ENGINE POWER AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY STREET AND ALMOST CAUSED ME A WRECK.

IN MARCH 2020, I RECEIVED A "RECALL SAFETY" INTERIM NOTICE THAT MY 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER IS BEING RECALLED. ON MARCH 21, 2020, I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (KOON'S ARLINGTON) WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM ON JANUARY 31, 2020. I SPOKE TO [XXX] IN THE RECALL DEPT. SHE SAID THAT THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS COME IN. FAST FORWARD TO 3 MONTHS NOW AND STILL NOTHING. ON JUNE 12, 2020, I CALLED BACK THE DEALER AND THEY SAID TO FILE A COMPLAINT WHICH I AM DOING NOW. THE RECALL SAID THAT "VEHICLE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING" AND I DRIVE A LOT IN FAST TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST EVERYDAY. I HOPE NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME OR MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THERE IS A HESITATION FROM WHEN I PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND WHEN THE CAR ACTUALLY ACCELERATES. IT HAPPENS FROM A COMPLETE STOP SOMETIMES ALSO. SOMETIMES THE CAR JERKS WHEN IT DOES THIS. THE PASSENGER CAN FEEL IT ALSO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V012000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT LEXUS OF TACOMA AT FIFE LOCATED AT (1708 40TH AVE CT E, FIFE, WA 98424), EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS VEHICLE FROM 13 JAN 2020. THERE IS NO REMEDY YET. THE ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH THE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTIONING, WHICH CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF POWER AND INCREASED RISK OF ACCIDENTS. HAVING BEEN IN A VEHICLE BEFORE WITH LOSS OF POWER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I'M UNLIKELY TO WALK AWAY FROM THE SAME TYPE OF MALFUNCTION IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I CAN'T DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH ANY CONFIDENCE IT WILL BE SAFE. IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHS AND NO REMEDY IS YET AVAILABLE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

When I start the Highlander, there is a loud (hurts your ears) feedback noise through the speakers, and the red and green lights near the SOS button flash multiple times. This happens intermittently, and when it doesn't happen, the SOS button only flashes red/green once.

2019 HIGHLANDER PURCHASED 12/2019. I GUESS I AM LUCKY, MINE HAS NOT STALLED YET. VERY POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE. TAKEN TO AUTIO NATION TOYOTA FT MYERS 3 TIMES INCLUDING HAVING A REGIONAL REP THERE. HE CLAIMS MINE IS OPERATING WITHIN FACTORY SPECS. SUPPOSEDLY MINE IS NOT A PART OF THE FUEL PUMP ISSUE. NOT THAT IT MATTERS TOYOTA SAYS THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. FACTORY REP SAYS MINE HAS 41 COMPUTERS. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? YEH RIGHT LOOK AT THIS WEB SITE AND SEE THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ACROSS THE TOTAL TOYOTA LINE INCLUDING LEXUS. WARNING IF YOU HAVE THE LANE DEPARTURE FEATURE (LDA) BE EXTRA CAREFU. IF THE LDA ACTIVATES AND YOURS IS ONE WITH THE LACK OF THROTTLE RESPONSE, IT MAY END UP MOVING YOU INTO ANOTHER LANE OR OFF THE ROADWAY.IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. ACCCELRATER SHIFTED WAT DOWN AND ALMOST PUT ME IN ANOTHER LANE. LUCKILY NO OTHER VEHICLES PRESENT HOW MANY BODY BAGS WILL IT TAKE TO FORCE THE FEDS TO ACT? OH I FORGOT. THEY ARE NEEDED ELSE WHERE. TOYOTA WINS Y MORE LIKE A THUNDERSTORM. IF YOU BOTHER TO SCAN THIS FED WEB SITE YOU WILL SEE ALL TH ALL I KNOW IS TO THE CAR BUCKS, FAILS TO RESPOND TO NORMAL ACCELERATION, OR OVER DOWNSHIFTS. SO FAR I HAVEN'T TAKEN OUT ANY OTHER VHICLE ,PERSON, OR ME. IF YOUR VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE LANE DEPARTURE FEATURE (LDA) WATCH OUT IF YOU TRYING TO ACCELERATE, MINE LDA ACTIVATED, AND ALMOST PUT ME IN ANOTHER LANE. LUCKLY THERE WASN'T ANOTHER ANOTHER CAR THERE. READ ALL THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS FEDERAL WEBSITE COVERING ALL MODELS OF THE TOYOTA BRAND (LEXUS INCLUDED) WITH THE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND SEE NOTHING IS BEING DONE BY TOYOTA OR THE FEDS. I WONDER IF THE FEDS NEED A BODY BAG COUNT TO TAKE ACTION. OH I FORGOT THE BAGS ARE NEEDED ELSE WHERE AND TOYOTA WILL WIN.

WITH 300MILES ON HIGHLANDER STARTED TO EXPERIENCE ISSUES IN DRIVING AND DROP IN PERFORMANCE. PERFORMANCE WAS VERY SIGNIFICANT ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE IN MPG. AT SCENARIOS WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE UP THE HILL BUT REV TO MAX AND START ROLLING BACK WITH 'CLICKING' NOISE. TOYOTA WAS SEND TO SERVICE MANY TIMES AFTER TO MULTIPLE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY DIAGNOSIS. AT 15K MILES ON THE CAR DRIVING ON HIGHWAY (70MPH) THE HIGHLANDER LOST POWER AND STARTED LOUD NOISE. WHEN PULLED OVER FOUND OIL SMELL AND SMOKE FROM ENGINE. DURING EXAMINATION FOUND 3 CYLINDER WENT LOOSE. DURING THAT TIME ONE OF THEM CAME OFF THE SIDE AND HIT THE TRANSMISSION. ALMOST A FULL MONTH THE HIGHLANDER WAS REBUILT BUT NO FINAL WORD WHAT HAD HAPPENED BY TOYOTA CORP. THE CAR IS ABOUT 17K MILES AND STARTED TO ACT THE SAME WAY. AS A FAMILY WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR ESPECIALLY MY PREGNANT WIFE WITH CHILDREN. I AM AFRAID THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN AND CAN LOCK UP ALL WHEELS AND CAN RESULT IN MASSIVE ACCIDENT. TOYOTA IS NOT TAKING THIS AS SERIOUS AND SEEMS TO ME THEY DO NOT CARE. AS OF RIGHT NOW THE HIGHLANDER HAS PROBLEMS WITH ALIGNMENT, LANE ASSIST, AND LACK OF POWER. PLEASE SEE PICTURES. *TR

RECEIVED NOTICE FROM TOYOTA, VEHICLE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH..IAM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS ON A HIGHWAY, ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO GIVE YOU A LOANER? NO ACCIDENTS YET

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE CAR ABRUPTLY LOST POWER AND IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO STALL OUT COMPLETELY, BUT THEN THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIME TODAY. IN TWO CASES I WAS NEEDING TO ACCELERATE BRISKLY AS I WAS EITHER CROSSING, OR ENTERING ONTO, A BUSY STREET WITH FAST TRAFFIC. IN TWO CASES (IN BOTH CASES I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN FROM A STOP) THE RED EXCLAMATION POINT WARNING SIGN APPEARED BRIEFLY ON THE DASH BOARD UPPER SCREEN. ON THE THIRD OCCASION (I WAS ACCELERATING STRAIGHT AHEAD FROM A STOP), A RED WRITTEN MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE CENTER DASH BOARD SCREEN, BUT IT DISAPPEARED BEFORE I COULD READ IT.

PULLING OUT OF A BUSINESS PARKING LOT (SOMEWHAT OF AN INCLINE) ONTO BUSY STREET AND VEHICLE STALLED. BAD TIMING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. MASTER CAUTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED BUT NOT CEL PER WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING. I THINK RECENT RECALL UNDERWAY FOR FUEL PUMP DOESN'T INCLUDE MY VIN, BUT I AM SUSPICIOUS AND AM THINKING IT PROBABLY SHOULD. VEHICLE STARTED AND RETURNED HOME FINE (10 MILES) AT APPROX 40-50MPH.

THE 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER LE SECOND ROW HEADRESTS LACK LOCKING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTS! YES YOU HAVE JUST READ THIS CORRECTLY! THEY ARE NOT LIKE THE FRONT ROW LOCKING HEIGHT INCREMENTS. THEY DO NOT LOCK WHEN THEY ARE EVEN PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN! THE ONLY HEIGHT TO LOCK THEM AT IS WHEN THE HEADREST IS ABOUT 2' FROM THE CEILING! NOT ALL PEOPLE RIDING IN THE SECOND ROW ARE 6'4' TO USE SUCH AN EXTENDED ADJUSTMENT EFFECTIVELY. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THE CASE # IS 2001250569. WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING, THE HEADRESTS MOVE UP AND DOWN WITH EVEN RESTING YOUR HAD ON THE HEADREST, UNLESS IT IS IN THE LOCKED POSITION BY THE CEILING. NOTE: THE SECOND ROW HEADRESTS DO NOT HAVE LOCKING INCREMENTS LIKE THE FIRST ROW HEADRESTS. THEY ARE NOT SAFE FOR YOUNGER AND/ OR SHORTER PEOPLE. SUCH A DESIGN FLAW CAN ONLY COMPOUND NECK/HEAD INJURIES IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION! AS NO-ONE HAS SAT BACK THERE IN OUR CAR EARLIER, I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS, OR I WOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY CHUGS AND STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS. WHICH RESULTS IN POOR FUEL MILEAGE. VEHICLE HAS ALSO STALLED 3 OTHER OCCASIONS WITHOUT CHUGGING AND NOT IN MOTION, ALL 3 TIMES WAS WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT OR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN. LOOSES POWER WITHOUT ENGINE MIL LIGHT DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE HYBRID SYSTEM HAS OVERHEATED 4 TIMES WITH NO ABILITY TO DUPLICATE. VEHICLE ALSO HAS HAD THE STEREO FLIP THROUGH NUMEROUS SCREENS WITHOUT BEING TOUCHED. AT ONE POINT WHEN IT STALLED THE VEHICLE STATED ' HYBRID SYSTEM INACTIVE ,PARK SAFELY', BUT IT WAS IN AN INTERSECTION. LUCKILY IT RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUMBLING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. A DEALER TURNED IT OFF VIA RESET, BUT THE CAR IS STILL ACTING UP. WE JUST GOT A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA THAT THE VEHICLE IS AT RISK OF STALLING UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITH NO REMEDY FOR OVER A MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITH A MESSAGE REFERRING THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DEALER TO BE REPAIRED.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES AND WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT 20 PERCENT OF ALCOHOL WAS FOUND IN THE FUEL INSTEAD OF THE RECOMMENDED 10 PERCENT IN THE FUEL MIXTURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V012000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000.

FUEL PUMP STOPS WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS, VEHICLE RIDES ROUGH INTERMITTENTLY THEN SHUTS DOWN. VEHICLE WILL NOT START UP AGAIN.

TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE IN JANUARY ABOUT POSSIBLE FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS WHICH IF IT FAILED COULD CAUSE A CRASH. FIRST INDICATION WAS A FIX WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN MARCH. AS OF TODAY, NO FIX AND NO FIRM DATE WHEN A FIX WILL BE AVAILABLE.I'M CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS HIGHLANDER NOW THIS IS GOING ON 6 MONTHS WITH MY VEHICLE SITTING IN MY GARAGE. CALLS TO DEALERS ARE FUTILE SINCE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ADVISED BY TOYOTA. AT THIS POINT I CONSIDER MY HIGHLANDER A LEMON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEW COUNTRY TOYOTA OF CLIFTON PARK (202 RTE 146, MECHANICVILLE, NY 12118, (518) 670-4332) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND TEST DRIVEN. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE TECT TIP WHICH FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NO RESOLUTION WAS SET FOR THE ISSUE HOWEVER, AN INVESTIGATION WAS STARTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,000.

Rough switching between gears since purchase; Whining noise in transmission when pressing on the gas.

MY 2019 HIGHLANDER (SE V6 WITH ONLY 490 MILES) STARTED HAVING HIGH IDLE RPM ISSUES AT ABOUT 300 MILES. AT STOP SIGNS/RED LIGHTS YOU REALLY HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL. LET OFF THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE TAKES OFF (SAME THING IN REVERSE) MAKING DRIVING IT UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. PULLING INTO OUR GARAGE IS NOT FUN. I SHOULD NOTE THAT THIS HIGH RPM ISSUE HAPPENS WHETHER THE START STOP IS ACTIVATED OR NOT ACTIVATED. TO MAKE MATTERS WORST, DRIVING ON SNOW COVERED ROADS IS A REAL PROBLEM WHEN BRAKING AT RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS AND SLOWING TO MAKE TURNS. MOST OF MY DRIVING IS ON CITY STREETS. I WILL BE TAKING THE SUV TO MY TOYOTA DEALER IN ENDICOTT, NY TO GET THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE RESOLVED BEFORE I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE HIGHLANDER WAS BUILT 11/19 AND I HAVE OWNED IT FOR A FEW WEEKS. I HOPE OTHER TOYOTA HIGHLANDER OWNERS DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT MAKES THE VEHICLES VERY UNSAFE AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE.

THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT HOWEVER I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE RECALL TO BE REMEDIED IN A TIMELY MANNER RECALL WAS APPARENT JAN 13,2020 THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF LIFE IF MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE OPERATING AT A HIGH LEGAL SPEED LIMIT AND SUDDENLY STOP BECAUSE OF AN INADEQUATE FUEL PUMP. THIS DELAY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW AUTO AND IT SHOULD BE FULLY OPERATIONAL AS I RELY ON IT TO GET ME TO AND FROM WORK AND DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES.

I RECEIVED A RECALL ALERT EARLY IN THE YEAR. THERE IS NOT YET A FIX FOR THE LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ONLY A FEW MILES SINCE THE NOTICE AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE POSSIBLE FAILURE. I DRIVE I-68 IN MARYLAND, MUCH OF IT WITH 3 LANES AND ALL UP AND DOWN MOUNTAINS. A FAILURE ON THIS HIGHWAY WOULD BE VERY SERIOUS, QUITE LIKELY FATAL. A FAILURE WOULD MEAN THAT THE CAR WOULD STALL AND NOT RESTART. SPEED LIMIT IS 70MPH--LIFE-THREATENING IF THE CAR WERE TO BE IN THE CENTER LANE GOING UPHILL. THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE DRIFTED BACKWARD DOWNHILL TO REMOVE IT FROM THE ROADWAY. THIS IS THE END OF APRIL. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLY LONG TIME TO BE WITHOUT SAFE USE OF THE CAR. I EXPECT MONETARY COMPENSATION AS WELL AS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR LOST MONTHS OF INCONVENIENCE, FEAR AND LOST USAGE OF THE VEHICLE. WE WERE OFFERED AN ALTERNATE SMALLER CAR WHICH WOULD BE INADEQUATE FOR OUR NEEDS. ACCEPTING THE SUBSTITUTE WOULD REQUIRE THAT WE TURN OUR CAR OVER TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WOULD SIT ON A LOT EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF THE DEALER WOULD PROVIDE A SATISFACTORY SUBSTITUTE, OUR STIPULATION WOULD BE THAT THE TOYOTA HIGHLANDER REMAIN AT OUR HOME WHERE IT IS GARAGED.

THE RIGHT REAR SEATBELT (2ND ROW SEAT IN VEHICLE WITH 3 ROWS) RIPPED FROM BASIC USE FROM A CHILD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW FROM TOYOTA SUDBURY, MA AND OWNED APPROXIMATELY 1-YEAR. IN LATE DECEMBER 2019, MY CHILD NOTICED THE REAR SEATBELT WAS RIPPED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA WELLESLEY, MA FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. TOYOTA REFUSED TO REPAIR AND STATED THE SEATBELT WAS INTENTIONALLY CUT BY US. NOW WHY WOULD WE INTENTIONALLY CUT A SEATBELT USED BY OUR CHILDREN JUST TO PAY AND HAVE IT REPAIRED? SINCE TOYOTA REFUSED TO FIX, AND WE REQUIRED A SEATBELT TO TRANSPORT OUR CHILDREN IMMEDIATELY, WE HAD TO FIX AND PAY TOYOTA $429. CLEARLY WE DID NOT CUT THE SEATBELT AND THE PICTURES CLEARLY INDICATE IT WAS NOT CUT BUT IT WAS RIPPED AND FRAYED FROM USE OR DEFECT. WE WANT TO REPORT THIS DEFECT MATTER AS I BELIEVE IT IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND ONE IN WHICH TOYOTA DID NOT EVEN WANT TO INVESTIGATE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA VEHICLE SINCE THIS IS HOW THEY VIEW SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES. I KEPT THE OLD SEATBELT IN CASE IT IS NEEDED FOR TESTING.

FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN DEC 2019 AND THEN AGAIN IN JAN 2020. WHILE DRIVING ENGINE LOST POWER AND VEHICLE BEGAN LURCHING FORWARD AND BACK UNCONTROLLABLY. AFTER PULLING OVER ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THANKFULLY WE DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, ALSO SAID REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF. FIRST TIME DEALER SAID IT WAS BAD GAS. SECOND TIME THEY TESTED FUEL PUMP AND IT WAS PRODUCING 5 PSI. WAY BELOW 50-60 PSI NORM. NOW OUR VEHICLE IS PARKED WAITING FOR TOYOTA TO DEVELOP A FIX FOR THEIR FUEL PUMP. NO IDEA HOW LONG THAT WILL TAKE. OUR CAR IS PART OF THE ALMOST 700,000 TOYOTA RECALLED. TOYOTA USED TO MEAN QUALITY, NOT SURE ANY MORE.

There is a potential of a serious accident concerning this car. The engine shuts down completely when you are emerging into traffic. I consider this a death trap. Out dealer in Lima, Oh does not want to fix it. I don't seem to be able to get this problem fixed. I appreciate hearing from you as the problem is getting worse.

I INCURRED THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2019.ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2019 I HAD ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH DICK DYER TOYOTA IN COLUMBIA, SC DUE TO MY AUDIO SEEMS TO HAVE A SHORTAGE IN IT. THE AUDIO SYSTEM KEEPS TURNING OFF. AN EMPLOYEE AT DICK DYER TOYOTA SAID THAT MY APPLE XS MAX CELLULAR PHONE IS THE PROBLEM. THE MALE COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN TOYOTA COMPANY UPDATED THEIR ELECTRIC SOFTWARE. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT NUMEROUS HIGHLANDER OWNERS HAVE INCURRED THE SOME PROBLEMS.

VERONICA SAID THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR SOFTWARE WHICH IS A 12.1 VERSION WHICH IS NOT COMPATIBLE TO APPLE CURRENT SOFTWARE VERSION 13.2.3.
