Toyota Highlander Change Vehicle

“High glare, poor location (too low & too large), almost impossible to see with polarized sunglasses”

“It blinks on and off then goes blank and reboots”

“Unit replaced by Toyota”

“the screen freezes when entering an address”

“The entire radio/display unit had to be replaced because it would randomly freeze and stop working; it would reboot itself but it was happening more and more frequently”

“Screen locked up”

“Screen would go blank occasionally when attempting to enter destination for navigation”

“Display was having trouble, they did a software update and its been trouble free since”

“Randomly went blank. Dealer resolved by installing new operating system. has worked fine since then”

“Only loads the music catalog occasionally”

“Does not pair well with my iphone”

“Only while using the GPS the whole unit has gone dead several times”

“Unit replaced by Toyota”

“When programmed for a destination the GPS routes you in circles off thw higjway and back on the highway”

“GPS is useless! Delays in audible guidance make you miss exits. I have to continually touch button to receive route directions and it does not work! My 7 yr old Garmin works better even though I had it at the shop 4 times now! What a piece of junk!”

“This also is terrible and absolutely worthless. In the past year I have had voice control navigation work one time. At the Toyota dealership, I am told that is just the way they work in the 2014”

“The GPS often will not work properly. It won't let you enter in a new address. It often won't display the map at all as well”

“Over simplified street maps, poor location of screen to check while driving (too low), slow refresh time”

“Not very intuitive; clumsy to operate; Inability to select destination while moving (even by passenger) causing unnecessary stop and safety concern”

“The original version of the systyem required vitual weekly reconnecting. A later version was installed with the total program chip two months ago”

“Sporadic blue tooth connection. Problem solved by reinstalling the phone”

“We both have brand new Samsung smart phones. At least once a week one or both of them will not pair with the system. Very annoying”

“unreliable pairing which sometimes drops out for no reason”

“It has problems pairing with my basic phone, LG revere 3. I had to pair it 3 times, as the first radio was defective. The second radio's bluetooth was no better. Toyota thinks only smart phone users deserve their cars, apparently”

“the vehicle occasionally drops my bluetooth connection to my iPhone and is difficult to reconnect”

“I think it was Verizon's problem. It connected wrong phone”

“I have the Apple iPhone 6. The Dealer nor I have ever been able to set up the "message" feature on my phone. Texts that I receive while I'm driving should be read to me. The Dealer said they have had problems with iPhones but not Androids or other”

“The dealer states that my LG vn360 is not reconized by the system,and it will eventually disconnect after it has been paired. Since both my wife and I have the same phone, it has been a problem keeping it connected. I am not completely convinc”

“Phone would not stay paired”

“Phone pairing unreliable. If car started and I run back in house with phone, it won't reconnect. If my wife and I are both in the car with our phones the system gets confused”

“The speed volume compensation control does not work. Volume odes not increase/decrease with speed. The technician was unable to fix it. Indeed, he said he had this exact problem with 5 other Toyota's and that Toyota refused to fix it”

“Radio had to be replaced as the touch screen was defectve; this did not improve the bluetooth phone pairing, however”

“The radio was replaced under warranty as unable to make phone calls. Now works fine”

“Sound quality for this level sound system is disappointing”

“Had to have subwoofer and one other speaker”

“Had to replace AMP, poor bass reproduction”

“premium price, works terrible. must repeat and repeat commands. useless”

“frequently misinterprets voice commands”

“The voice command simply doesn't work. It is more distracting trying to use then driving and using a hand held phone. It is absolutely terrible”

“Terrible speech recognition not improved by training or software upgrades. I connect with an iPhone 6”

“voice recognition is totally useless”

“Rattle at the rear view mirror. Dealer replaced the unit and fixed the problem”

“Rattle coming from inside car on rt side. Whenever I go to dealer, it always disappears”

“Squeaks from the passenger rear shock or wheel area”

“When driving over a speedbump; I hear a squeeking noise coming from the driver's rear tire area. Took it to the dealer without resolution”

“rattle in dash above back-up screen. Dealer said it would cost $85 an hr to get checked. NO guarantee on how long it would take”

“Rear lift gate and glass was creaking when open and closing. Dealer realigned the door and that helped. Still have noise in the rear wiper gears”

“something was not welded properly ant remember what (radiator perhaps) so they replaced it/”

“every time the emergency brake lever is released, it makes a clacking sound. I have consulted with work peers who have the same model and year and they have the same situation”

“Squeak from rear end that's getting works. Sounds like suspension but could be frame flex. Dealer thinks it's normal but it's super annoying”

“Luggage rack on roof was not secured properly and rattled at highway speed. Dealer tightened rack and problem went away”

“Roof accessory loose”

“Wind noise around the moon roof”

“Passenger side door is noisy at highway speeds. After several attempts by the dealer the problem has not been resolved”

“Sunroof made noise. Seal replaced as a warranty item and is fixed”

“cabin is noisy due to wind”

“I went to the dealership 4 times due to the lift gate either not opening or closing automatically. The first two times the dealership merely rebooted the system which did not fix the problem. The third time they contacted Toyota and the fourth visit”

“Rear tailgate will not always open and or close. Fails before fully opening and or closing. Wife one time had to drive vehicle with tailgate partially open. Dealer cannot replicate the problem and it remains unfixed. This is a safety hazard”

“Tailgate would not open or close properly. It took two trips to the dealer to correct. They replaced one of the actuators”

“Powered tailgate repaired 3 times within a year. Would not have bought a Highlander if we had known of Toyota tailgate problems! Or of a class-action suit concerning same (unfortunately the 2014 models aren't included)”

“Automatic lift gate stopped lifting. Needed new spindles”

“would not close 10 months old”

“gas struts failed.power opening erratic”

“Hatch did not open or close correctly”

“Rear Power Liftgate intermittent failure. Took 4 visits to dealer to fix”

“The power tailgate doesn't work 90% of the time. They keep telling me at the dealership they can't replicate the problem so they can't fix it”

“Tailgate piece slipped off because a plastic clip was missing”

“Stuck in the open position and had to be closed manually. But only seemed to happen when it was very cold outside”

“Front windshield is not scratch resistent”
