2017 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE ENGINE REVVED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ISLAND TOYOYA (1591 HYLAN BLVD, STATEN ISLAND, NY), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,100.

WINDSHIELD REPLACED AFTER A CRACK. WINDSHIELD COMPANY AND TOYOTA DEALER COULD NOT RECALIBRATE FRONT CAMERA. LANE WARNING SYSTEM AND FRONTAL COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS NOT WORKING. DRIVING WITH WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH. WINDSHIELD MOUNTED CAMERA SAFETY SYSTEMS IS A BAD IDEA. THE NEED FOR WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT MAY OCCUR TO ANYONE. IT SHOULD NOT BE THIS COMPLICATED TO RECALIBRATE THE CAMERA. SO NOW I HAVE AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE KEEP ME SAFE- EXCEPT THAT THE SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE NOT WORKING.

VEHICLE HAD A STRAIGHT FRONTAL COLLISION WITH THE END OF A GUARDRAIL ON A HIGHWAY BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A COLLISION AVOIDANCE RADAR SYSTEM BUT THE SYSTEM DID NOT ENGAGE. THE SYSTEM DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY BRAKE AS IT SHOULD HAVE.

WE WERE IN A THANKSGIVING DAY RELATED TOUCH N GO TRAFFIC ON A NORMAL STREET, WHICH ENTERS INTO A MALL. ALL OF US ARE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, CAR AHEAD OF US JUST STARTED MOVING AND WE FOLLOWED AFTER ALLOWING A SAFE DISTANCE, THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR AHEAD OF US STOPPED, SO I TRIED STOPPING QUICKLY, BUT THE CAR'S AUTOMATIC COLLISION AVOIDANCE KICKED IN AND TOOK CONTROL OF MY BRAKES, BUT IT STILL DIDNT STOP, I WAS TRYING TO STOP, BUT THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. ENDED UP REAR-ENDING CAR INFRONT OF ME. THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS SAFETY FEATURE WAS TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM REAR ENDING OTHER CARS IN DAY-TO-DAY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. ALSO OUR SPEED WAS NOT MORE THAN 20 MPH, WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL, ALMOST INSTANTLY I REALIZED I HAVE TO STOP AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL, TRIED BRAKING, BUT CAR KEPT ROLLING FORWARD. THIS IS JUST 4 MONTH OLD CAR WITH 2500 MILES ON IT. WAITING TO SEE HOW TOYOTA HANDLES MY CASE, IN THE MEANTIME, INSURANCE THINKS I AM AT FAULT AND STARTED THE CLAIM, COVERING THE CAR INFRONT OF ME. MY DASHBOARD DISPLAYED A "BRAKE" MESSAGE IN RED COLOR, WHICH IS TRUE, IT IDENTIFIED A COLLISION, BUT DIDNT STOP. IMO STOPPING IS MORE IMPORTANT! THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO CAR INFRONT OF ME, MY CAR HAD SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO GRILLS AND FRONT BUMPER AREA.

I WAS TRAVELING EAST AT 65 MILES PER HOUR ON INTERSTATE I64 IN ILLINOIS WHEN A VERY LOUD BOMB, LIKE A SHOT GUN SOUND OCCURRED IN MY CAR. WE WERE THEN COVERED WITH THE SHATTERED GLASS FROM THE SUNROOF SHATTERING AND GLASS WAS BLOWN INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND OUT. WE WERE NOT HIT WITH ANY OBJECT, IT EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THE GLASS WAS ACTUALLY PUSHED UP TO THE SKY. THE EXPLOSION LEFT A 14 INCH HOLE IN MY SUNROOF.

THE NEW HEADRESTS ARE TOO FAR FORWARD AND CREATE A LITERAL PAIN IN THE NECK. THE NEW HEADREST REQUIREMENTS ARE CAUSING THE MANUFACTURERS TO PRODUCE VEHICLES THAT THE END USERS ARE HAVING TO MODIFY, OR SET THE SEATS AT AN ANGLE THAT INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS TRUE OF MOST NEW VEHICLES. PLEASE REVISE THE NEW REGULATIONS.

VEHICLE SUSTAINED A CRACK FROM TWO SMALL STONES HITTING THE WINDSHIELD WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. CRACK SPREAD SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE INITIAL IMPACT SITE. WEATHER DID NOT HAVE A FACTOR IN THIS AS IT WAS SUMMER. CRACK CONTINUED TO SPREAD EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE. CRACK SPREAD WITH VERY LITTLE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE WINDSHIELD. BELIEVE THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT MANUFACTURED TO SUSTAIN A LIGHT IMPACT.
