We have classified the 39 complaints from 2010 Toyota Highlander about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
The trunk door sensor constantly goes off and on while driving, so says that the trunk door is ajar when it is not. this tends to happen more when it is warmer, the car turns to the right or the windows are down. it is a distraction while driving.
Every time i accelerate, break, turn, coming to a stop and going over a bump my door ajar chimes on the dash for the back door (hatch). also, the dome lights come on when the chime and picture pops up that my rear gate is ajar. i believe this is a safety issue because i am not the only car with this exact same issue. this needs to be recalled since this potentially is a safety issue. this is a continual and ongoing issue.
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!!
Back door ajar, interior light and a bing sound come on when i turn left
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.
The rear latch on this vehicle failed. it cost $600 to repair
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Back door states that it is ajar even when it is completely closed. this seems to be safety issue to me and toyota should check and issue an recall.
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.
Indicator warning for rear back door open when it is secure and locked. interior lights go on as well as warning bell. vehicle brought to toyota service dept. state they cannot duplicate-however it is becoming more frequent each time i drive vehicle.
