WHILE DRIVING IN A CITY WARNINGS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON: "HYBRID SYSTEM FAILED", "ALL WHEEL DRIVE FAILED", "TAKE CAR TO THE DEALER", AND THE CAR STOPPED. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. FOLLOWING DAY THE DEALER CALLED ME TO SAY THAT EVERYTHING IN THE CAR CHECKED OUT OK AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, I'M NOW VERY WEARY OF TAKING THE CAR ON A TRIP BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT MAY QUIT AGAIN. THE CAR JUST TURNED 10K MILES.

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.

PROBLEMS WITH MY 2018 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER ([XXX]) 1 ) LANE DEPART INDICATOR:SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK UNTIL I'VE DRIVEN 1 OR 2 OR 4 MILES. SOMETIMES IN EVERY TRIP STOPS WORKING AS WELL AS ACTIVATES WHEN MAYBE A FOOT FROM LANE MARKERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR 2) CLIMATE CONTROL: USUALLY DOES NOT RETAIN MEMORY OF FAN SPEED, CONTROL OF PASSENGER SIDE TEMP, AND AIR FLOW DIRECTION WHEN RESTARTING THE CAR. WHEN TEMP SET ON, E.G. 69 TEMP IN CAR IS ~76-80. WHEN AIRFLOW SHOWS THE FLOW AIMED AT WINDSHIELD & FEET, MOST OF THE AIR FLOW COMES TO MY TORSO WITH MINIMAL FLOW TO OTHER 2 SITES. 3) NEED COFFEE BREAK MESSAGE: HAS COME ON TWICE WHEN ON A LONG TRIP, DISAPPEARING AFTER ~ A MINUTE, BUT SEVERAL TIMES CAME ON AFTER DRIVING ONLY 2-4 MILES. 4) FAULTY RESUMPTION OF SPEED: WHEN THE SPEED CONTROL WAS SET AT 50 MPH (ONCE) OR 60 MPH (ONCE) AND I TOGGLED THE CONTROL TO RESUME SET SPEED THE CAR SPED UP WELL BEYOND WHAT IT WAS SET AT. I HAD TO DISENGAGE THE SPEED CONTROLLER TO STOP THE ACCELERATION. HAPPENED AGAIN ~3 WEEKS AGO WHEN SPEED SET AT 35, AND WHEN I TOGGLED IT RESUME SPEED IT ROARED AHEAD UNTIL IT REACHED 45 MPH. 5) DOOR HANDLE LOCKING MECHANISM; NOT AS SENSITIVE TO LOCKING WHEN TOUCHED AS IT WAS WHEN CAR WAS NEW. UNLOCKING WHEN TOUCHING HANDLE WORKS FINE. 6) MOTOR TURNOFF WHEN AT STOPLIGHT: SELDOM WORKS. WHEN IT DOES IT TURNS ITSELF OFF AFTER AS LITTLE AS 30 SECONDS EVEN THO PRESSURE ON BRAKE PEDAL IS CONSTANT. 8) (NON-ELECTRONIC PROBLEM) THE TRANSPARENT PLASTIC COVER OVER THE DASH CONTROL SETTINGS IS DETERIORATING - - CAN?T SEE THRU IT VERY WELL IN CERTAIN WAYS THE LIGHT HITS IT 9) SPEEDOMETER READING PROBLEM: WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS WORKING, THE DIGITAL READOUT FOR THE SPEED IS USUALLY 1-2 MPH LOWER THAN WHAT THE SPEEDOMETER DIAL SAYS IT IS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE STARTED THE VEHICLE THAT IS PARKED IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE AT AROUND 8AM TO GET SOME GROCERIES. THE VEHICLE STARTED AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. SHIFTED TO D AND STARTED MOVING AND AS I WAS LEAVING THE SPOT, I PUSHED THE BREAK TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND IT WON'T STOP. PUSHED THE BREAK PAD SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CAR WON'T STOP. FINALLY MOVED THE GEAR TO P AND IT STOPPED AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN AND TRIED TO REVERSE IT, IT WON'T REVERSE AND ONLY GOING FORWARD. I CALLED AUTONATION TOYOTA OF LEESBURG, THEY TOWED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 11/30/19 WITH ONLY 45 MILES IN IT. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING BECAUSE MY NEIGHBOR WAS PUTTING SOMETHING TO HIS CAR AND I WAS ABOUT TO RUN AT HIM.

2019 HIGHLANDER XLE LOSES POWER, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, & JERKS AND STALLS IN TRAFFIC.BOUGHT AT 200 MILES, CERTIFIED PREOWNED. IT IS A NIGHTMARE VEHICLE. ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN TOUCHY AND JUMPY AT TIMES, INTERMITTENTLY AT SLOW SPEEDS. FIRST TIME IT STALLED IT STARTED TO LOSE POWER PUT -PUT AND CHUG LIKE JERKING AND ALL DASH AND ELECTRICAL ON DASH WENT OUT, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, THEN STALLED OUT IN ROAD, UNABLE TO STEER OR CONTROL VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRENCE WAS AFTER A LONGER PERIOD OF DRIVING. SECOND TIME IT STALLED OUT BEGAN TO LOSE POWER, PUTTER AND CHUG, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE APPLYING GAS PEDAL, GETTING NO GAS, VEHICLE DIES OUT, UNABLE TO STEER OR CONTROL VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRENCE WAS AFTER A LONGER PERIOD OF DRIVING. THIRD TIME WAS YESTERDAY 8-8-19. LEFT WORK AND ABOUT 5-7 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE, STARTED HESITATING, LOSING ALL DASH AND ELECTRICAL POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GAS PEDAL APPLIED, THEN STALLS OUT, UNABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL AGAIN! ALMOST GOT HIT THIS TIME, MAN BEHIND ME COMING FAST AND HAD TO SWERVE INTO LANE OVER TO MISS ME. THIS CAR IS GOING TO KILL ME OR SOMEONE BY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IF THEY DO NOT GET IT FIXED RIGHT. AFTER THE SECOND STALL IT WAS TOWED INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE NOT SURE BUT SAID FUEL PRESSURE WAS READING 22 AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE MID TO HIGH 50'S. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND IT DROVE OK FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT I NOTICED THE AVERAGE FUEL MILEAGE GOING DOWN FROM AN APPROX IN CITY 19.1--20 TO 17.1-17.3. HAS NEVER BEEN SO LOW SO OBVIOUSLY THE STALLING AND THE REPLACING OR THE FUEL PUMP ARE NOT THE REAL ISSUE. FUEL ECONOMY GOING DOWN SINCE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP AND NOW ANOTHER DANGEROUS STALLING ISSUE. CAR IS AT TOYOTA DEALER NOW. THEY NEED TO DIVE MUCH DEEPER & RESOLVE THIS VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE! I BOUGHT THIS CAR TO FEEL SAFE AND HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION AND HAVE NEITHER. IT REALLY SCARES ME. *DT*JB

EARLY TODAY, 3/21/19, WAS ALERTED THAT MY HATCHBACK WAS OPEN. THE CAR HAD BEEN LOCKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS, BUT WHEN I CAME OUTSIDE I WAS TOLD BY A FRIEND THAT THE HATCH HAD JUST OPENED ON IT'S OWN. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, I WAS DRIVING AFTER DARK AND RECEIVED A BLINDSIDE MIRROR ALERT--THE CLOSEST CAR WAS AT LEAST TWO CAR LENGTHS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME IN THE SAME LANE. SHORTLY AFTER, THE CAUTION LIGHT CAME ON, BEEPED, THE ECO LIGHT CAME ON, IT BEEPED AGAIN AND THE ECO LIGHT WENT OFF. ABOUT 40 MINUTES LATER, I HAD THE BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS ON WITH THE AUTO DIM ENACTED. THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT, THE RADIO STAYED ON, AND THE NAVIGATION SCREEN GOT VERY BRIGHT. I HAD TO RETURN THE LIGHT CONTROL ON THE SIGNAL SWITCH AWAY FROM THE SETTING AND THEN BACK TO GET THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHT TO COME BACK ON. ALL EVENTS EXCEPT HATCH WERE WHEN VEHICLE IN MOTION. HATCH OPENED WHILE PARKED AND EMPTY. ALL EVENTS WERE WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS OF EACH OTHER. 10000 MILE SERVICE HAD JUST BEEN COMPLETED 3/15/19 WITH NO CONCERNS NOTED.

DEAR SIR. UNIT CAN NOT BE CHANGED. THE UNIT CAN NOT BE CHANGED FROM F TO ℃. I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN CELSIUS TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENT FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS AND HAVE RECENTLY EMIGRATED TO THE UNITED STATES. BY THE WAY, MY CAR CAN NOT SEE THE CELSIUS TEMPERATURE. SO, I HAVE TO CALCULATE THE FAHRENHEIT TEMPERATURE IN DEGREES CELSIUS FOR A SHORT TIME EACH TIME TO KNOW THE CURRENT CELSIUS TEMPERATURE. (CALCULATED SIMILARLY TO CELSIUS TEMPERATURE = (FAHRENHEIT - 30) / 2) I CAN NOT CONCENTRATE ON DRIVING WHILE CALCULATING THE CELSIUS TEMPERATURE, AND I HAVE TO CONCENTRATE ON THE CALCULATION. (DURING THE SHORT TIME) I KNOW THAT A CAR ACCIDENT HAPPENS IN A VERY SHORT TIME. I WAS REGULARLY CHECKED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TODAY. (5,000 MILES FREE SERVICE) I CAN NOT CHANGE THE UNIT TO CELSIUS TEMPERATURE WHEN I START REGULAR INSPECTION. I ASKED YOU TO CHECK. AFTER COMPLETING THE REGULAR CHECK, THE SERVICE CONSULTANT ANSWERED ME "I CAN NOT CHANGE TO CELSIUS." SO, I ASKED AGAIN WHY NOT. A SERVICE CONSULTANT REPLIED, "A CAR PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES RECENTLY HAS NO CHANGE IN CELSIUS." SO, I AM WRITING THIS ARTICLE. THE TOYOTA SERVICE CONSULTANT SAYS THAT THE 2018 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER, PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES, IS UNCHANGED IN UNITS OF CELSIUS. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT NEW CARS PRODUCED IN THE FUTURE CAN BE CHANGED IN UNITS OF CELSIUS TEMPERATURE. (FOR REFERENCE, THE UNITS ARE CHANGED FROM 'MILE' TO 'KM'.) I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE A REPLY BY EMAIL THANK YOU, SIR. *TR
