I have been told by the toyota dealer as well as apple that my new phone, an iphone 11 pro, is not compatible with the computer system in the vehicle. They both claim the other needs an update, but neither one has any idea when that may happen. I cannot use hands free because the phone continually connects and disconnects to the car. The suggestion i got from them was to turn off my bluetooth and not allow the phone…

The sunroof in our 2017 toyota highlander hybrid just exploded. It was 80 degrees outside. We were driving on a paved, 2 lane highway. No one else was on the road. There was a loud explosive sound. My husband thought we had been shot; i thought the back of the car had fallen off. We pulled over and inspected the car. There was a large hole (about 10 inches across) in the sunroof. Shattered glass filled the interior…

All this happens when i'm driving on any type of surface. When i had the tires rotated in june, i was not informed of any problem but there is clearly something going wrong. It's a little…

Sitting in the car with the transmission in the park position, motor and accessories off, the tailgate opened on its own six times in a 45 minute period. Each time we closed the hatch with the button on the dash. When we returned home and parked in the garage, the door opened again by itself within a two hour period. All keyfobs were in the house.

This vehicle does not alarm on people walking behind the vehicle when backing out of a parking spot in a parking lot. It also doesn't alarm on a vehicle backing towards you directly behind the vehicle. The vehicle was in reverse just moving out of my parking space, it happened twice recently. It is an unusual situation which is why i haven't reported it earlier. The car was in reverse.

I was traveling east at 65 miles per hour on interstate i64 in illinois when a very loud bomb, like a shot gun sound occurred in my car. We were then covered with the shattered glass from the sunroof shattering and glass was blown inside the vehicle and out. We were not hit with any object, it exploded from the inside out. The glass was actually pushed up to the sky. The explosion left a 14 inch hole in my sunroof.

Windshield replaced after a crack. Windshield company and toyota dealer could not recalibrate front camera. Lane warning system and frontal collision avoidance systems not working. Driving with warning lights on dash. Windshield mounted camera safety systems is a bad idea. The need for windshield replacement may occur to anyone. It should not be this complicated to recalibrate the camera. So now i have an expensive…
