Safety hazard - beginning in mid 2014, my driver side door lock started to give me problems not locking with the remote. I changed the battery several times to no avail. Soon, the other door locks stopped working one by one. Eventually, none of the locks worked with the remote or by pressing the power lock buttons on the doors. When this problem initially started, i noticed my radio station information would also…

Received a phone call from street toyota concerning a recall for my 2010 highlander. They said that they needed 5 minutes to do a recall on the computer. I checked the recalls and didn't find anything. I think that they are up to something. I refused the appointment. Thanks *tr

Driver door lock quick working. Could only unlock with key or by crawling over passenger seat. Took to dealer and was told it was actuator. They fixed for almost $600. Less than month later passenger door lock did same thing. Called dealer and was told i would have to pay to get it fixed. Let it stay that way until may 2015. Local mechanic fixed for little over $300. About 2 weeks later, driver door lock will not…

Door ajar chime goes off and sometimes dome lights flash on when making a turn, stopping, or accelerating from a stop. This primarily happens when the outside temperature is hot (95+). Additionally, the radio display will show illegible information occasionally. I've had the radio replaced, but the issue remains. This will go away when the car is turned off and back on and only happens when the external temperature…

2010 highlander 4wd: system check panel indicating the rear door is open, when it's not. Sometimes the indicator only chimes (& overhead light blinks) when we take a left or right turn. Sometimes it chimes continuously as soon as we get the car into gear. The back door is most definitely closed each time; the back door indicator is malfunctioning. *tr

In january of 2013, i took my highlander into a dealer's service department to diagnose a problem with my driver's side front automatic lock, which had completely stopped working at around 46,000 miles. This means i had to physically press the lock as not even the key would work. I had to open the passenger side door, crawl across the seat, & unlock the driver's side door in order to get in my car. I was told by the…

Also if the moon roof is open and closed and when the drivers or passenger window is open and closed the panel will light up, chime and interior lights will all come on. The only time the windows and moon roof seem to effect it is when i am driving on the highway.…

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota highlander. The contact stated that the battery died prematurely. The dealer made two attempts to duplicate the failure by changing the battery. On the third occasion, the contact notified the manufacturer who advise that the vehicle needed to be driven at least 15 miles per day to prevent the battery from going dead because of the dessert-like climate in which the contact resided.…

Several times since we purchased the vehicle, the front driver's window will come off track and not allow to roll up the window. This really is not a safety issue however one time the window did not come off track however the door would not open from the inside. We had to roll down the window to open from the outside. This was very scary since my wife drives the vehicle and transports our children and grandson. I…
