I took my 2004 toyota highlander v6 to longo toyota for brake booster recall in november 2010. They kept my car nearly 7 weeks before repair was completed. A few days after picking up my vehicle, while i was parked dropping off my passenger, most of the control panel lights illuminated (brakes, abs, trac off, vsc, check engine). I reported this to the dealer. They said to bring the car back. I took the car back and…

When braking our 2006 toyota highlander the brakes seem to catch then release, catch and release. This is on dry pavement. The local toyota dealer service says this is normal operation and is because the battery recharging mechanism is taking over. This may be true but i am of the opinion that there is something wrong. When you apply the brakes and it reacts in the way it does you tend to want to easy up on the…

I made an appointment with sunrise toyota, in oakdale, ny where i purchased this highlander. After showing sunrise…

Gentlemen: i am writing you this e-mail because there is a problem with my car that is not only irritating, but is potentially dangerous to all who own a full time four-wheel drive toyota highlander. My highlander is a 2003, and although we were promised full time four-wheel drive when we bought it, we found out later to our horror that it is not. When driving down a paved highway, all four wheels are driving. This…
