2010 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER Complaints

MY FAMILY WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTI CAR ACCIDENT WHERE WE WERE STRUCK FROM BEHIND AND DRIVEN INTO THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF US (FROM A NEAR STOPPED POSITION). THE FORCE OF IMPACT ON THE FRONT BUMPER WAS HARD ENOUGH TO DRIVE THE TRAILER HITCH OF THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF US THROUGH THE LICENSE PLATE ON THE FRONT BUMPER. THE BUMPER AND GRILL WERE SEVERELY DAMAGES BUT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DRIVER WAS TAKEN TO ER FOR HEAD/NECK INJURIES WHICH WERE DEEMED TO BE MINOR.

THE BACK DOOR AJAR, INTERIOR LIGHT AND A BING SOUND COMES ON WHEN I TURN LEFT OR OPEN ANY WINDOW? SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY RELATED COMPLAINTS. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL.

THE DOOR SENSOR IS FAULTY. ITS COMES ON, THE WARNING SOUND DINGS AND LIGHT ON CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS UP SAYING THAT A DOOR IS AJAR. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING, AND NONE OF THE DOORS ARE OPEN. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS SO FREQUENTLY THAT IF THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY OPENED YOU WOULD NOT KNOW SINCE IT GIVES FALSE ALARMS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THIS COMPLAINT, AND FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.

I ALMOST GOT IN TO AN ACCIDENT ON 5/11/2018 DUE TO THE ABS SYSTEM NOT STOPPING THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING IN I-95. I GOT A WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH AS I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES, LATER THE CAR DID NOT WANTED TO STOP, BUT IT DID NOT PREVENT ME FROM HITTING THE OTHER CAR. I PRESS ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. LATER, I TOOK THE CAR TO GET DIAGNOSE AND PUT ERROR CODES C1391, ABS ACCUMULATOR LEAK OR MALFUNCTION. CONTACTED DELRAY TOYOTA IN DELRAY BEACH, FL AND THEY DENY TO DO A RECALL WHEN THERE IS AN EXTENTED WARRANTY RECALL ON CAMRY AND PRIUS MODEL LINE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLED TOYOTA CORP. AND THEY ARE DENYING TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. THEY STATED THAT SINCE THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH BUYERS FOR THIS MODEL, THEY WILL NOT COVER OR MAKE A RECALL ON SAFETY FOR THE PUBLIC. I HAVE FOUND OVER ALL THE INTERNET COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I AM LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION. A PICTURE OF THE ERRORS CODES ON THE VEHICLE IS INCLUDED ON THE COMPLAINT.

IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND DOOR CHIME HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENTLY COMING ON WHEN TURNING EITHER DIRECTION. ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED, AND STILL THE LIGHTS COME ON AND CHIME. THIS IS CAUSING ME CONCERN AS I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND AM UNAWARE OF WHETHER DOORS ARE TRULY CLOSED PROPERLY. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION AS THIS IS NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS MATTER.

FAILURE OF TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID. SOLUTION TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT. ~80,000 MILES ON TOYOTA U760E 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION. SAME TRANSMISSION USED IN TOYOTA CAMRY (U760E) WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM - ZE5. MANUFACTURER WILL NOT COVER ANY COST OF THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

THE REAR LIFTGATE DOOR AJAR KEEPS GOING OF EVERY TIME I TURN OR HIT A BUMP. WHEN THIS WARNING KEEPS GOING OF I DO NOT KNOW IF ANY OTHER DOOR IS OPEN AND RISK ONE OF MY CHILDREN FALLING OUT OF THE CAR WHEN DRIVING AND RISKING DEATH OR INJURY. THE ONLY REASON I KNOW IT IS THE REAR LIFTGATE IS THAT I FOUND THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND FOUND YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON THE ISSUE

OPEN DOOR CHIME AND INTERIOR LIGHT COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS OR BUMPS

DEFECTIVE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT. CLUNKING, ETC. SEEMS DANGEROUS, NO RECALL.... THIS IS ONE COMPLAINT TO ADD TO THE NUMEROUS OTHERS. TOYOTA, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?
