| The driver sun visor will not stay up and falls down obstructing my view while driving. while doing research on the internet there seems to be a large number of complaints of this same default of toyota highlanders sun visors falling downing and not remaining seated in the upright position. there is not any garage door openers or any other devices on the visor to cause extra heaviness that would lead to the failing of the visor. i have to put tape on the visor to provide myself with an unobstructed view to safely drive. | |||

| Vehicle has original headlights that were in it when i bought the car.the bulbs are burning the lens over the lights.i do not drive with the high beams on as the dealership tried to insinuate.no dumbass drives with the high beams on all the time. toyota claims bulbs are an exclusion on the warranty.this is a factory defect and should be a recall item.they want to charge the purchaser to replace the bulbs which show evidence of of defect as well as the lens cover.i would like to see toyota or the manufacturer of the bulb replace these items at no cost to the purchaser.even if they don't replace the lens cover at least replace the bulb with the proper bulb.car has always jerked from the time i purchased it.i thought it was the transmission but toyota claims they didn't detect anything when i took it in for service for this issue. | |||

| 2006 hybrid highlander reported and went to mediation with nothing done. car has lots of issues, it jumps forward when stopping about 3 feet on occasion, it will go dead for no reason, the gps fails and puts you in pa when in va, and electrical and mechanical nightmare, had written testimonials but they ignored it saying all tests were fine and it started when the car was only about 3-5 months old. i went on htn meds because of this and am afraid to drive car and had to buy another for my kids to drive as it is not safe. there are website with lots of others with the same issues being told all along that noone else reported it but they all did...please help!! | |||

| I went through a toll booth, car began to lurch, lights all went up, and the car stalled, highly dangerous, but managed to get to side of road, apparently the inverter in my 2006 toyota highlander, 102,000 miles on it, was defective, it was replaced free, but had to pay labor and for rental.. but i really could have been injured severely. | |||

| On monday oct.4 i was driving my 2006 toyota highlander when i was approaching a stop sign. i let of the accelerator and started to stop. suddenly the engine started revving up on its own and continued to rev up higher and higher. i put the car in neutral and it continued to race to over 6000 rpm before it finally kicked out. this vehicle has never done this before. it has 50,000 miles . this vehicle was not included in toyotas accelarator recall and i never gave it any thought on mine. i always assumed mine was o.k. but this experience has really shook me up. now i am scared to drive this vehicle in case this happens again. | |||

| I was parking my toyota highlander when suddenly the car accelerated while i had my foot on the brake. i braked as hard as i could and the car continued to move forward until i put the car in park and turned off the ignition. i moved a parked car completely out of their parking space and i went over half way thru the same space before i was able to stop my car. my brakes were smoking and i left tire marks on the asphalt. this all began when i was almost completely stopped in the parking space. | |||
