Speedometer numbers are not visible to the driver. The numbers indicating the kilometer speed are too small and the numbers are not lighted brightly enough to see. The numbers are not visible in daylight or at night. This creates a dangerous condition when i am driving in canada. The toyota service department has no solution to this serious safety problem. Please not that i have excellent eyesight.

My highlander has had a total of 14 (including the 4 original) door actuators in the 4 passenger doors. The 1st failed at about 13k miles. I have about 75k miles now. As soon as (or shortly after) a failed one has been replaced, the issue travels to another door. That pattern has continued to reach the total number of actuators so far. The 15th actuator will soon be installed. Toyota would not take responsibility…

The navigation system has so many issues it hard to list them in this small space. It will reboot many times a day, sometimes just turns it self off and have to pull to the side turn off engine and it will come back on. Communication is extremely poor, it lags being where i am, it poor at finding addresses that have been around for years. Toyota needs to totally redo the software and offer it for free its so bad
