2007 Toyota HIGHLANDER HV Traction Control System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	731551
Internal NHTSA #	10277384
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	HIGHLANDER HV
Model Year	2007
File date	21/11/08
Component	TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I have a 2007 toyota highlander hybrid with front wheel drive which is equipped with traction control. On two occasions i have been in situations where the traction control has engaged due to an unstable travel surface. In both instances, the vehicle has "shut down" and would not accelerate forward due to the traction control not allowing the vehicle to do so. I contacted my local toyota dealer. They indicated that this was normal to "protect" the cvt from damage on unstable surfaces. They could not provide a remedy for this situation. Living in the chicago area, my fear is that we may come across an icy winter roadway that will cause the traction control to initiate the "loss of power" to the drive train. Having no acceleration capability, the possibility exists that an approaching vehicle from the rear will strike our "disabled" vehicle. This poses a tremendous safety risk. Please help me with this situation as toyota has no solution. Thank you for your time.
