2010 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER Complaints

ABS - CODE -1391,THIS IS SECOND TIME,FIRST TIME(2016) WAS CHANGED THIS PART -44510-48080

WHILE USING THE TAILGATE CLOSE BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB,CAR SHUT OFF AND PARKED, A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD WHILE THE DOOR WAS CLOSING AND THE DOOR JAMMED, SLIGHTLY OPENED AND IMMOVABLE. HAD TO TAKE THE CAR TO A CERTIFIED TOYOTA REPAIR FACILITY TO GET THE CLOSING SERVO DISCONNECTED SO THE DOOR WOULD SHUT. MANUAL OPERATION OF THE DOOR IS THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN AND CLOSE AT THIS TIME. NOTHING WAS BLOCKING THE DOOR AS IT WAS CLOSING AND COMPLETE REPAIR APPEARS TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE. BACK DOOR HINGES APPEAR TO BE SLIGHTLY OUT OF LINE BUT DOOR WILL CLOSE MANUALLY. T-SB-0038-15 ADDRESSES A PROBLEM SIMILAR TO THIS BUT THE DOOR WOULD OPEN - IN THIS CASE IT WOULD NOT UNTIL THE TOYOTA SERVICEMAN REMOVED THE SERVO.

WHEN DRIVING AND TURNING OR GOING OVER A BUMP THE "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR BEEPS AND THE DOME LIGHTS TURN ON. BROUGHT TO AUTO SERVICE REPAIR SHOP AND THE LEFT REAR DOOR AND THE REAR GATE SENSOR/ACTUATOR NEED TO BE REPLACED. $1100!!

REAR WHEEL HUBS. I REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB AT ABOUT 6500 MILES AND 92000 MILES. I REPLACED THE LEFT REAR WHEEL HUB AT ABOUT 85000 MILES. IS THERE AN ISSUE WITH THESE ITEMS WEARING OUT PREMATURELY? I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 50 YEAR AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS.

WHEN WE OPEN A WINDOW OR THE SUNROOF THE DOOR AJAR SIGN COMES ON AND STARTS TO BEEP ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN WE TURN A CORNER OR HIT A BUMP JUST RIGHT. I AM AFRAID OF SOMETHING SHORTING OUT AND STARTING A FIRE! ALSO THE FRONT HEAD LIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT WE HAVE TO REPLACE THEM AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. THE HIGHLANDER RUNS GREAT BUT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SCARE ME. TOYOTA REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM.THE PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR OPEN ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN WE ARE DRIVING. THE PROBLELM HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THE CAR.

REAR HATCH SENSOR AJAR WHENEVER THE WINDOWS ARE OPEN AND CAR EXCEEDS 30 MPH. WINDOWS MUST REMAIN CLOSE FOR THE SENSOR CHIME AND ACTIVATION TO CEASE. SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR HATCH SENSOR. THE CAR HAS BEEN OWNED FOR 8 YEARS AND HAS 77000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. NO ACCIDENTS.

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE RED DOOR INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP,THE CAR CHIMES AND THE INTERIOR CEILING LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF.

WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION), FREQUENT WARNING MESSAGE COMES ON THE DISPLAY PANEL THAT SAYS THE BACK (REAR) DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT'S NOT. ALSO, INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON, AND THERE IS THE WARNING / BEEP THAT KEEPS FLASHING. SOMETIMES, WHEN THE BACK GATE ALERT COMES ON, DOORS GET UNLOCKED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017.

2010 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER REAR LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE. INSIDE LIGHTS KEPT GOING ON AND CHIMED. LATCH REPLACEMENT COST $601

POOR INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY! POPPING NOISE WITH CLUNKING FEEL IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND HITTING BUMPS. BEGAN AROUND 60,000 MILES AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE (NOW AT ABOUT 102,000 MILES) TOOK IN AT ONSET AND TOLD IT'S THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY. AS IT'S GETTING WORSE, IT'S STARTING TO FEEL VERY UNSAFE. THIS LOOKS TO BE A VERY FREQUENT ISSUE WHEN LOOKING INTO IT ONLINE. DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS NOT A RECALL! MY FAMILY IS TRUSTING TOYOTA AND NHTSA TO MAKE CORRECT DECISIONS FOR OUR SAFETY!
