2010 Toyota Highlander Other Problems

ALL DOORS AND HATCH DO NOT LOCK WITH THE KEY FOB OR WITH THE POWER LOCKS ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE DOORS.

REAR DOOR ACTUATOR/SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING TO READ "DOOR AJAR" CONSTANTLY WHILE IN MOTION ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. INITIALLY STARTED ONLY WHEN THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN, AND TAKING TURNS. NOW ITS PROGRESSED TO CONSTANTLY SETTING OFF THE SAFETY FEATURES FOR THE DOOR AJAR WARNING. THIS IS A HUGE DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING! HAVING MY LOCAL DEALER ADDRESS THE ISSUE TOMORROW.

SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 44. SOUND RESEMBLED GUNSHOT. NO EXTREME TEMPERATURES. NO PROJECTILES. OVERREACTION COULD HAVE CAUSED ACCIDENT. CAUSE OF NOISE UNKNOWN UNTIL ABLE TO PULL OVER TO ROADSIDE. IF INTERIOR SHIELD HAD BEEN OPEN, SHARP GLASS PARTICLES WOULD HAVE SHOWERED OVER OCCUPANTS. INTERNET REVIEW DISCLOSES MANY SIMILAR EXPLODING SUNROOFS ON MANY MODELS AND BRANDS.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNING WEATHERTECH MATS THAT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM ATTACHING A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ACCIDENT, WEATHERTECH'S RESPONSE, AND RESPONSE BACK TO THEM.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR FAILS TO CLOSE THEREBY BLOCKING SOME FORWARD VISION.

DOOR LOCKS ON PASSENGER FRONT AND REAR, DRIVER FRONT AND REAR, HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED AT LEAST TWICE DUE TO MALFUNCTIONS. AS OF DECEMBER 2015, THE LOCKS ARE FAILING AGAIN FOR A THIRD TIME, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. LOCKS DON'T WORK. THEY WILL EITHER STAY LOCKED, FAILING TO OPEN, OR NOW, THEY WILL NOT LOCK AT ALL. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED PROPERLY. KEEPS RECURRING.

MY NAME IS [XXX]. I OWN A 2010 HIGHLANDER, AS OF TODAY 5/16/12 THE MILEAGE 32,800. THE REASON FOR THIS LETTER, THE LEFT PORTION OF MY WINDSHIELD IS COMING LOOSE OR THE LEFT PASSENGER WINDOW IS DYSFUNCTIONAL. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL TOYOTA HIGHLANDER WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER WINDOW. FIRST, I NOTICED THE SOUND OF GLASS IF IT WAS LOOSE, DRIVING MY DAILY ROUTE ON I95 FREDERICKSBURG VIRGINIA TO QUANTICO BASE VIRGINIA. THIS PORTION OF I95 IS SMOOTHER, THAN MOST STATE ROADS. THE GLASS SOUND IS NOT A CONTINUOUS SOUND, CAUSE TO ROADS DIFFERENT. IN FACT, THE GLASS SOUND OCCURS ONLY WHEN IT AN DRY DAY. I NOTICE THE ROAD NOISE HAS INCREASED. WHEN IT RAINS, I CAN NOT HEARD THE GLASS SOUND, DUE TO RAIN ON THE VEHICLE. I DRIVE THIS HIGHLANDER DAILY TO AND FROM WORK. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WILL TAKE A 3 MINUTE RIDE AND HEAR NOTHING, THAN I AM FORCED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. MANY YEARS AGO, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE INTERNAL AND LINER HAS TO REPLACED. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2011, WE WERE TRAVERSING I-55 NORTH OF GRENADA, MISSISSIPPI. I WAS USING CRUISE CONTROL TRAVELING AT 73 MPH WHEN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING OF ANYTHING WRONG, WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE LIKE THE WHIRRING OF HELICOPTER BLADES OVERHEAD. I TURNED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL TO LET THE CAR SLOW DOWN BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING; AS MY WIFE SLID OPEN THE SUN ROOF COVER TO LOOK OVERHEAD. AS WE SLOWED DOWN, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE TREAD HIT MY SIDE OF THE CAR AND PASSED US UP GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I THEN FELT THE DRAG ON THE STEERING AS I PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND APPLIED THE BRAKES STOPPING THE CAR. PRIOR TO THE HELICOPTER SOUND, I NEVER HAD ANY PULLING OR STEERING PROBLEMS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A TIRE RUNNING ON LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I ALSO NEVER RECEIVED A LOW TIRE ALARM FROM MY TIRE PRESSURE ALARM SYSTEM. AS AN ADDITION, I'LL ADD THAT MY FIVE TIRES ARE INFLATED WITH NITROGEN FOR BETTER TIRE WEAR AND LIFE. I WENT TO ALEXANDER TOYOTA IN FRANKLIN, TN TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE SO I'D HAVE A SPARE. I PICKED UP THE DAMAGED TIRE OFF THE INTERSTATE SHOULDER AND MY CAR INSURANCE COMPANY KNOW HAS THE ENTIRE FAILED TIRE TO EXAMINE. THE FAILURE WAS A BRIDGESTONE; MODEL "DUELER HL-400"; DOT: OB7C.

Your front armrests on both the driver and passenger sides are caving in or collapsing inward. This appears to be caused by a design flaw in the clip supports that hold them up. The fix would likely involve replacing the armrest assembly or reinforcing the clip support structure.
