Currently, the vehicle in motion, however it potentially causes unsafely if not fixed as requested. the reason I come to you for complaint, I do have a situation with carlson toyota and/or toyota motor groups. Here the situation what happens. I do have 2006 toyota highlander hybrid. I drove this SUV since 2009. I have a number of records from the same dealer to maintain the SUV safe. However, couple month ago on 04/22/2019, I got some of the dashboard light indicates anti-lock braking system (ABS) check light IS on. I took the car to the carlson toyota dealer pay diagnosed fee $149.00 and the results IS unpredictable prices. See the lists: 1) break actuator assembly----------------------------$2225.00 2) right rear wheel bearing and harness ----------$1156.00 total------------------------------------------------------$3,381.00 the reason I am complaining today not because of the price to high. However, I found toyota published letter on april 19, 2016, to all toyota dealer principals, general managers, service managers, and parts managers. Under the subject line warranty enhancement program ?ZG1, for all 2006-2007 model year highlander hybrid, and others type included. Also, down the last three paragraph (see attached letter) indicates under owner letter mailing date, said ?toyota will begin to notify owners in late april, 2016 and will be mailed over several months. A sample of the owner notification letter has been included for your reference.? after I found the published notice, I went to the carlson toyota dealer on 06/18/2019. I described the situation and I showed the recipes of where I get from during inspection, and finally they told me this warranty enhancement program IS expired. I ask them how IS expired, nobody told me about this recall or warranty enhancement program. I need help to resolve this situation. See attached documents. *js

My 2006 highlander drove just fine. Parked in my usual spot and the next time I start it my p/s light IS on and I have no steering. I searched online and it seems to be a common problem for it to just quit working on people. I'm curious as to why this issue hasn't been addressed by toyota yet. Thank god I wasn't driving like others were when it happened.

I have had to replace the brake actuator on my 2006 toyota highlander hybrid 3 times since 2014. replacing this part IS a $2500 - $3000 repair. the first time, we paid out of pocket. the second time, I was told I would have to pay out of pocket and I declined. parked the vehicle for about a year and then received notice from toyota that the part was being offered an extended warranty under letter ZG1. at that point, I had the part replaced under the extended warranty. now the part has failed again. this IS a very serious issue as it controls the ABS braking system and failure can have devastating consequences. I think toyota recognized the issue, made adjustments, but did not make proper adjustments and still has issues with this part. particularly - this issue may be related to the fact that the hybrid vehicles rely on the braking system to regenerate the battery.

While attempting to make a stop at an intersection during city driving the brake pedal became very hard to press down and several warning lights came on my vehicle dashboard. At first, the problem was intermittent but progressively got worst over continued driving. I took my vehicle to my local toyota dealer for inspection. The service manager informed me that I had a problem with the ABS brake system module and the repair was about $2,600.00. I parked the vehicle because it was no longer safe to drive and to many close calls. Later I found out that this 2006 toyota highlander hybrid and several proceeding model years had a very extensive consumer complaint number for this very same ABS brake system concern. I contacted the service manager at the same local toyota dealership about a warranty at which time the service manager informed me that my warranty expired which I never was informed. It seems to me personally this IS how the air bag safety problem was over looked on these vehicles until consumers lost their lives on faulty consumer products that got progressively worst over time. Several of the other import manufacture have offered recalls on the very same ABS system brake concern. Toyota has yet to offer a recall several model years into this safety concern with the ABS brake system. If we as consumers can't stop our vehicles while driving on the city streets or highways accidents happen and people die. This safety concern has gone on long enough with thousands of complaints over the years for the same ABS brake system concern. There must be a much better job at protecting the consumer safety from continued safety concerns not being addressed by toyota. All the other import manufactures have step up with recalls, whats taking toyota manufactures so long after years of the same safety concerns. Please help us with this ABS brake system concern.

I purchased the vehicle used in august 2018. In january, warning lights indicated a 'vsc system' problem. The event occurred while I was driving. I researched car repair websites and forums, and discovered that this IS often a simple problem with a sensor for the fuel door, or a linkage in the accelerator assembly. I followed instructions, and the light turned off. Over the past six weeks, the lights have returned, usually in association with refueling the vehicle. I took the vehicle to a dealer today, and was informed that an ABS actuator was failing. The part IS $1700 from toyota, with labor totaling $600. Further research revealed the problem was widespread, but the only remedy was a 'warranty enhancement' that has already expired. I cannot afford this repair, and I was not informed of this issue at purchase. Because this issue was critical for vehicle safety, I felt the need to alert the nhtsa to a continuing problem.

Intermittently, while driving down the road, all of the dash lights come on, there IS a high beeping sound, and the brakes stopped functioning properly. The brakes either need to be matched with extreme force or the brakes will slam by barely touching the brake pedal. toyota acknowledges that this IS an issue and offered a warranty extension to owners of this vehicle. I purchased the vehicle after the extension was offered and haven't had issues until recently. I am concerned for not only my safety but the safety of my family. I have been a toyota fan for all of my adult life. However, after dealing with this issue and being quoted $2000 to fix it, I would offer advice to anybody or not to buy a toyota or at least not a toyota hybrid. Buyer and driver beware!

While driving on a residential road the brake system failed to properly stop the car. This issue first happened in january 2017. At that time I took the car in and had the brake actuator assembly replaced under a limited service recall by toyota and the replacement actuator assembly also failed within 18 months. While driving through a residential area the brakes again failed to stop the car, making a grinding noise and jerking to a halt after pressure applied to the brake pedal. Because the actuator assembly was replaced under the limited service recall toyota denies any culpability in the failure of the replacement part and refuses to offer further assistance.

Dashboard warning lights came on all at the same time and stayed on. went to diagnose repair and they said it needs a new brake actuator. upon investigating, I see that toyota extended the warranty for 10 years but it expired on dec 31 2017. upon reflection, we have felt the brakes occasionally become very stiff and hard to stop the vehicle while in motion. the mechanic says it IS because of the actuator issue. I feel this safety issue, albeit rather old, IS a known issue to toyota and they should provide some recourse for the repair. I have included the diagnostic showing diagnostic codes and mechanic evaluation.

Brake actuator failure. my 2006 toyota highlander hybrid limited just had a failure of the brake actuator that was diagnosed by texas toyota grapevine. unfortunately this failure happened after the time that was covered under a warranty enhancement program from toyota for this defective part. I called toyota USA and they said since the part did not fail during the time of the warranty enhancement they will not help. fortunately no one in my family was injured during the failure nor was there any property or bodily injury to anyone else. as expected, I will not buy another toyota since they placed my family's lives in danger due to a known defective part that should have been replaced under a recall.

On February 16, 2010, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened RQ10-003 to determine whether the scope of prior Toyota recalls relating to potential unintended acceleration were sufficiently broad, including, among others, Toyota recalls 07E-082, 09V-388, 10V-017, and 10V-023.NHTSA also requested information regarding potential electronic causes of unintended acceleration in Toyota and Lexus vehicles.I. Pedal Interference from Floor mats, Carpet Covers and Plastic Pads in Carpets.During the RQ10-003 investigation, ODI reviewed a large volume of documents to assess whether additional vehicles should be recalled.Following the agency's analysis, NHTSA requested that Toyota recall additional vehicles.Toyota complied with the agency's request.The details of these recalls are set forth more fully in Toyota's reports to NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573.These recalls are as follows:Recall 11V-112: (1) model year (MY) 2004-2006 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid; and, (2) MY 2004-2007 Lexus RX330,RX350, and RX400h (hybrid model). The total estimated population under this recall is 769,379 vehicles.This recall remedies potential accelerator pedal entrapment caused by a loose floor carpet cover (trim panel). Recall 11V-113: (1) MY 2003-2009 through 2009 Toyota 4Runner; (2) MY 2006-2010 Toyota RAV4; and, (3) MY 2008-2011 Lexus LX570.The total estimated population under this recall is 1,381,000 vehicles.This recall supplements recall 09V-388 and remedies potential accelerator pedal entrapment by an unsecured floor mat.Recall 11V-115: (1) MY 2006-2007 Lexus GS300 (all wheel drive vehicles); and, (2) MY 2006-2007 Lexus GS350 (all wheel drive vehicles). The total estimated population under this recall is 19,647 vehicles.This recall remedies potential accelerator pedal entrapment caused by inadequate clearance between the pedal linkage and a plastic pad embedded in the vehicle's carpet.II. Potential Electronic Causes of Unintended Acceleration.After NHTSA opened RQ10-003, NHTSA launched a ten-month study of potential electronic causes of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles.NHTSA launched the study in the spring of 2010 in light of concerns aired in Congressional hearings.NHTSA enlisted engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with expertise in areas such as computer controlled electronic systems, electromagnetic interference and software integrity to assess whether electronic systems or electromagnetic interference played a role in incidents of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles.That study has concluded.Two reports are associated with the study and are available on NHTSA's website.NASA's report is entitled Technical Support to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on the Reported Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) Unintended Acceleration (UA) Investigation, NESC Assessment No. TI-10-00618 (Jan. 18, 2011).NHTSA's report is entitled Technical Assessment of Toyota Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Systems (Feb. 2011).Both reports should be read in conjunction with each other. As stated in its report, NASA did not find an electronic cause of large throttle openings that can result in unintended acceleration incidents. NHTSA did not find a vehicle-based cause of unintended acceleration incidents other than the physical pedal interference causes that are being addressed by Toyota's recalls. This RQ is closed.

If these contaminants settle and remain on a painted vehicle surface, especially the horizonal areas of the hood, roof, and decklid, significant damage can occur. This damage is the result of actual etching of the paint and appears as pitting or water spots. As acid rain droplets on the vehicle surface evaporate, the concentration strength of the acid increases, causing deeper and more rapid damage. This evaporation and corrosive action also occur more rapidly on dark colored cars as direct sun heat increases. It is the dealers responsibility to protect and maintain the quality of the vehicles paint finish after receipt at the dealership prior to the first sale. In areas known for high frequency and/or concentration of acid rain (see Figure 1), frequent vehicle washing during high heat or humidity periods will minimize the potential for paint damage caused by acid rain. It is further recommended that either reverse osmosis or deionized water be used to prevent water spotting.
- 11007444To prevent brake rotor rust from forming during transportation and storage, wheel film will be used instead of a cardboard type of anti-rust cover. The purpose of the wheel film is to shield the disc brake rotor from weather elements and initial rust before the vehicle is delivered to the customer. Consequently, the film should remain on the wheel for as long as possible.
- 11007443Acid rain results from rainwater or other airborne moisture that become acidic due to industrial chemical impurities in the atmosphere. If these acidic compounds settle on an exposed vehicle, especially the horizontal areas such as the hood, roof, and decklid, significant damage to the painted surfaces can occur. Acid rain damage can typically be identified on vehicles by the presence of stains on the paint surface that resemble hard water spots. Unlike water spots however, acid rain damage cannot be removed by regular washing procedures. Also, because acid rain can etch and soften the paint, normal buffing or polishing repair procedures should not be attempted. This can cause further damage and result in visible depressions in the paint surface. The following are the three major categories of acid rain damage: Minor damage: requires only buffing to repair. Moderate damage: usually requires neutralizing, color sanding, and buffing. Severe damage: extending beyond 1/2 mil of clearcoat on a pearl, metallic, or solid color, requires neutralization, sanding, and repainting. In cases where acid rain damage is minor, neutralization and buffing with a liquid-type paint finessing product may provide an adequate repair. Only specially formulated products outlined in this bulletin should be used for that purpose. Unfortunately, other than minor damage, there is no simple method of determining the actual extent (depth) of acid penetration other than color sanding a representative affected area until there is no visible etching or depressions, followed by measuring the amount of paint removed with either a magnetic or digital-type film thickness gauge. The procedures in this bulletin are intended for use by qualified body/paint technicians and should not be attempted by inexperienced personnel. It is the dealers responsibility to protect and maintain the quality of the vehicles paint finish after receipt at the dealership prior to the first sale. Perform frequent vehicle washing, as often as daily, during high heat and humidity periods to minimize the potential for paint damage due to acid rain exposure. This is especially important in geographical areas known for high frequency and concentration of acid rain and industrial fallout.
- 11006161Some 2005 2024 Toyota vehicles that have undergone water intrusion may exhibit a condition in which a musty odor is present. Follow the procedures in this bulletin to remediate the odor and address this condition. The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to provide general guidelines and procedures for odor remediation. This Service Bulletin provides a guide on how to prepare and treat the interior of the vehicle for odor remediation. Refer to the applicable model and model year Repair Manual and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) website for the most up-to-date safety and precautionary guidelines.

- 11005153Toyota vehicles are currently protected with RapgardTM protective film designed to protect the horizontal painted surfaces. This material protects from acid rain, environmental fallout, and rail contamination.
- 11005149Vehicles may occasionally be subjected to contamination by airborne iron particles shed from railroad tracks, train wheels, exposure to heavy machinery facilities, grinding, welding, etc. This type of contamination can be identified by the presence of small, red or brown particles on the paint surface. These particles are often difficult to see on dark color paints but can be easily felt when brushing a hand across horizontal body surfaces such as the hood, roof, or deck lid.
