The contact owns a 2020 toyota highlander equipped with a tekonsha prodigy rf electronic brake control with bluetooth kits, part number 902501. The contact purchased the unit to use for towing a trailer. The contact purchased the part at an independent mechanic and had the equipment installed by another independent mechanic. When the contact first attempted to use the brake kit, her and her husband had connected the equipment per the instructions and brake kit showed the letter "c" which meant the part was connected. As the contact started driving the vehicle, a nc (not connected) message had appeared on the brake kit. The contact decided to drive the vehicle back to her home and attempted to reconnect the brake system as instructed but the failure persisted. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that the equipment had been placed under nhtsa campaign number: 20e033000 (electrical system). The contact reached out to the independent mechanics, the one who sold the part and the other that installed it, and neither were aware of the recall. The contact also called the manufacturer and had written a letter to obtain the replacement part however, the contact had not heard back from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 0.

My toyota highlander is a hybrid and there is an ongoing problem with the brakes under certain conditions. When you are slowing the vehicle down, with your foot on the the brakes, there is a point under 10 miles an hour, where the brakes appear to let go and you must quickly exert dramatically more pressure on the brakes to stop the car. Fortunately it has not resulted in an accident because my wife and i are aware of the potential danger. The danger is, this occurs when you are stopping at a stop sign or crosswalk, pulling into a parking space, or around pedestrians, even pulling into our garage. I have own previous toyota hybrids and this vehicle behaves very differently. In my opinion the route of the problem may be the regenerative braking. As you step on the brakes the regenerative braking supplies most of the braking power and then at a slower speed the regenerative braking abruptly dis engages. It seem there should be a way to smooth the erratic behavior of the brakes. I have filed my concerns with the toyota customer experience center in november of 2020 under my name and file number #2011280027. The car is available anytime to demonstrate the problem, there are no open recalls for this vin#, and i have been told there are no service bulletins for this problem. The problem has occurred the whole time i have owned the vehicle.

Gas will not fill up to the advertised amount. Distance to empty meter is not calibrated correctly. Others on toyota forums experience the same issue.

I was at a stop sign in my 2020 highlander waiting to turn left onto a busy road. Upon turning left onto pa state highway 999, the highlander engine turned off and the steering wheel was "locked" into a left position. This caused the car to continue turning into the opposing left lane resulting in a head-on collision with an on-coming car. With the engine turned off there was no power steering, no brakes, and no way to unlock the steering wheel. The collision caused my car to bounce back and slowly free roll back to the stop sign as though i never entered the roadway.

The vehicle is sold as having a 17 gallon fuel tank. I've driven the vehicle for 5000 plus miles now. I have never been able to get more than 13 gallons of fuel into the tank. I have waited until the gage said there was only 12 mile until empty. Still could only fill up with on 13 gallons of fuel. The gage say's it's full. I have made the toyota dealership aware of the issue. But they said there was nothing on their system about a recall or needed repair. If the vehicle is advertised as having a 17 gallon tank i should be able to use that whale 17 gallons of fuel. Instead i can only fill up to 13 gallons.

I have a 2020 highlander hybrid. When i brake my stopping pauses a half second to a second then brakes normally. I am afraid that i can get into an accident due to this happening at the wrong time or if i loan my car to another driver that is not aware of the problem. I took it to the dealer and couldn't reproduce the fault with their computer connected. Though this has been happening about every other day or so. There were no warnings prior, it just happens randomly! Please go to the attached toyotanation.Com link to see other people having the same issues with their highlander hybrids.

Each time i fill up the car with gas i am unable to fill the tank to its listed capacity. The vehicle has a 17 gallon tank, but when the vehicle is near empty (1-2 gallons remaining) i can pump in only 12-13 gallons of gas. This greatly impacts the range of the vehicle. The date shown below is my most recent fill-up, but it has happened each time i fill up. I have reported this to my toyota dealer.

Unable to completely fill fuel tank. When fuel light comes on and i go to fill it, i get no more than 13 gallons in my tank. The fuel gauge only reads 3/4 full. Never completely full.

2020 toyota highlander hybrid awd. When filling from almost empty (per low fuel warning light and distance to empty reading almost 0), tank only accepts ~12.5 gallons before gas station fuel nozzle auto clicks off. The fuel gage at this point indicates that the vehicle is ~7/8 filled. The owners manual warns about not attempting to fill after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off. Being unable to fill tank may lead to owners attempting to overfill tanks and could result in inadvertently spilling fuel which poses a safety risk and an environmental damage risk. It can also lead to more emissions. A similar problem exists with 2019/2020 toyota rav4 per nhtsa records, toyota has proposed a fix for this vehicle but has stated that no other models are affected by this issue. The problem described above is almost identical with the exception that the vehicles have different fuel tank capacities. Toyota has indicated that this is "normal".

We recently purchased our highlander and it has a little over 4,000 miles. Today while driving down the road at about 45 mph, the car just lost power and the check engine light came on. 1. Check engine - reduced engine power 2. Secondary collision brake system malfunction we had to park and wait for the toyota dealership to come and tow it to the service center. At this point i don't know what was wrong or why it just cut out while driving. I am very concerned and can only hope toyota can address this or replace the car.

We were driving in the freeway and suddenly we heard like a "bang" sound, like an explosion. We looked around us and wondered what it was. Then we heard the air from the roof seeping through and we took an exit, it was a shattered sunroof. Since the rain is in the forecast and we were going on a cross country vacation, we used a flex tape to prevent for the glass to keep shattering and from the rain.

Blind spot monitoring is not working. Took it to dealership thy said it needed re-calibration but it still doesn't see semi trucks. My wife accidentally ran another women off road because she trusted this toyota system. System is currently still working intermittently.

When re-fueling the vehicle with dte of less than 30 miles, the fuel shuts off around 12 gal. 2nd click for fuel stoppage may yield another 0.5 gal. Nothing adds up to 17.1 gal of fuel in the tank. Going beyond the 1st click is bad for the system, yet only fills the car up to 7/8 full on the fuel gauge.

I purchased a 2020 toyota highlander hybrid awd in may 2020. In june 2020, i noticed a discrepancy between the gas gauge abs the distance to empty indicator. The gas gauge said there was 3/4 of a tank left but the dte said i had only 43 miles. I went to the gas station today (october 2020) to fill up my vehicle and filled it until the gas shut-off tripped. I turned on my car and noticed that my gas gauge said it was only 7/8th full. Thinking it tripped too soon i refilled it again but only 0.5 gallons went into tank before the shut-off tripped again. When i turned on the car this time the gas gauge indicated it was full. I doubt the gas gauge is functioning properly.

I have been having intermittent issues with the brakes when turning on my car and going in reverse. On one occasion, after turning on the vehicle and putting it in reverse, the vehicle did not move despite being on level ground. I had to apply pressure on the accelerator and heard the car strain a little before i heard a sound come from the brakes and the car suddenly jerked backwards. I did not have my foot on the brakes and i did not have the emergency brake on. After this the bakes appears to function as usual. Another time, i turned on the car and went in reverse but the car did not move. I applied the accelerator and heard the car strain a bit then it jerked back. I applied the brakes but the brakes were in responsive unless i pushed on them with significant force. I came to a stop and them took my foot off the brake to resume backward motion to exit my parking spot. Again i did not move forward and had to apply pressure to the accelerator which cause the car to initially strain then suddenly jet backwards. I again applied pressure on the brakes which again were initially unresponsive until i put significant pressure. This cycle happened a total of 4-5 consecutive times prior to the brakes resuming normal function. Brakes functioned normally between this incident and the one mentioned earlier in this complaint.

The gas tanks holds 17 gallons or ~570 miles to empty. The most i can fill it is ~14 gallons or ~470 miles to empty. It always clicks off like it's full. I've tried gently topping off, slightly pulling out fuel model etc. Nothing has worked. This has happened since the vehicle was new and driven off the lot. This is all while the vehicle is parked at a gas pump.

The vehicle was in motion on a straight highway on a hot texas day with no other vehicles in the vicinity and no debris on the road and the moon/sun roof exploded (sounded like a gun shot in the car). The car was brand new and only had 4,000 miles on it. The vehicle is currently located at the local toyota dealer being evaluated but they are denying it as a warranty issue. This could have been life threatening since it was a very loud sound and thankfully we had the inside cover closed to that we were protected from the glass.

Highlander le 2020 car has a big safety issue.When i turn off engine with gear changer in d position the gear goes in n neutral position while still in d position without giving any alert noise.I parked my car in 3rd floor of a public parking where the floor had slop, and turned off engine in d position by mistake and started reading an email in my cellphone without looking outside of car. The car didn't give any alert noise saying that the car is turned off in d position.My wife and son had exited the car and were waiting for me to exit while i was reading my email in my cellphone.I heard my wife and son screaming " stop the car" stop the car" when i looked outside and saw that the car was rolling back towards other parked cars. I stoped the car and turned on engine and moved car forward and shifted the stick to p position. I was really suprised why this car didn't give any alert noise that the car was rolling back when engine was turned off in d position. This issue was going to be a bad disaster for me if my wife and son hadn't screamed to let me know that the car was rolling back on 3rd floor of a public parking.The only alert i noticed in that time was a small pop up on dashboard without any noise. I called toyota corporation and they said that there is no any problem with my car and that this car doesn't have any safety problem.For sure sooner or later this will be a bad disaster for some car owners of this model. I don't have peace of mind when my wife drives this car with my kids inside. Please solve this big safety issue for me as toyota corporation doesn't accept this issue as a safety issue. The toyota dealer service manager said that this problem is software problem and must be reported to toyota corporation, but corporation says that there is not any problem. Even 1980's or 1990's car when you turn off the engine in d position the car gives noise alert.

This vehicle will let you shut the engine off in drive without shifting to park. If you do this and leave the vehicle on a slight incline, it will roll away and you may not be able to get back to it and into it in time to get your foot on the brake and then shift it into park. This should not be allowed. You should have to shift to park before the engine can be turned off. *tr

If you do this and leave the vehicle on a slight incline, it will roll away and you may not be able to get back to it and into it in time to get your foot on the brake and then shift it into park. This should not be allowed. You should have to shift to park before the engine can be turned off. *tr

My new 2020 highlander hybrid has a big issue with the gas tank. I get only 460 miles, even if i top it off with the gas spewing out. Toyota advertised a 600 mile range to the highlander hybrid. The 600 mile fuel range seems very off with the 2020 highlander hybrid. I have the xle and always have kept it in eco mode. I've driven over a thousand miles on the car, but the mile range estimate on the car is inaccurate and seems to be off a lot if it's supposed to get 600 miles to a tank. More importantly, when the tank is empty (the dash says i had 5 miles left to empty), the gas tank only holds around 13 gallons even though the fuel tank capacity is supposedly 17.1 gallons. Those 4 gallons make for 140 miles less distance on a tank. If i wait and keep on forcing the gas in slowly, i can get 15 gallons but i don't like the idea of having to keep on pushing the gas nozzle until the gas spews out of the tank just to get 15 gallons in. I know toyota has been having gas tank issues in other models recently. One of the main reasons i bought the car was for the fuel tank capacity and range. A video explanation of the problem is below: https://www.Youtube.Com/watch?V=huu649zrl-g&t=245s. *tr

Vehicle is equipped with seat belt sensors and alerts for all seats, yet fails to accurately report which seats are buckled or not when occupied. This alert is supposed to occur when turning on the vehicle and before shifting out of park. Many times, with just the driver sitting and no passengers in the car, it reports that there are people seated with an unbuckled seat belt. Other times when there are people seated and unbuckled the system does not recognize it and no alert appears. This is a safety feature that is advertised for sales but does not work. Ensuring that these advertised safety features function correctly should be of high importance especially when people like i do, depend on them for the safety of their children. *tr

The fuel tank capacity listed as 17.1 gallons but only take between 12-12.5 gallon when filled up, even when the reserve has ran down where mile to empty is near zero. Total miles range between fill ups is under 500 miles, far less than the 616 miles range claimed by toyota.

Toyota advertises and represents that the highlander hybrid′s fuel tank capacity is 17.1 gallons, and based on its 35 mpg rating, the range should be about 600 miles. However, i am not able to fill the tank by more than 12 gallons thus reducing my range to 420 miles. I believe there is a defect in the newly designed saddle tank which prohibits the tank from being filled completely thus cheating me out of about 180 miles of driving range.

The vehicle hesitates, stalls and has bucking leaping forward uncontrollably, on the road. The vehicle also has a very loud whining noise upon shifting the car from park to drive and back again from drive to park, at a stand still. This is a major issue with a nee car, my wife and i don't feel safe while driving in this car. *tr

After leaving a shopping center on february 29 2020, we pulled out onto a road to head towards home. We were driving about 45 miles per hour in traffic and received a notification on the screen that said the engine was off, put car in park. There was also a warning light that came on for the electronic steering assist with an exclamation point. We were able to coast to the side of the road trying to maneuver through traffic of 4 lanes. We put the car in park and attempted to start the vehicle. It would turn over, but not start. We called toyota roadside assistance and told them what happened and they said it would take about an hour to get to us and tow the vehicle. After about 15 minutes we decided to attempt to start the vehicle again. It started, and the vehicle steering warning light came on, but then went off. We called roadside assistance and told them we were going to attempt to drive to the dealership where we purchased the vehicle which was only a few miles away. We left the vehicle there to be checked and so far they say nothing has been found but are checking further and testing the vehicle but so far have been unable to duplicate the occurrence. It only has 300 miles on the odometer.
