| Description of the problem | 2006 hybrid highlander reported and went to mediation with nothing done. Car has lots of issues, it jumps forward when stopping about 3 feet on occasion, it will go dead for no reason, the gps fails and puts you in pa when in va, and electrical and mechanical nightmare, had written testimonials but they ignored it saying all tests were fine and it started when the car was only about 3-5 months old. I went on htn meds because of this and am afraid to drive car and had to buy another for my kids to drive as it is not safe. There are website with lots of others with the same issues being told all along that noone else reported it but they all did... Please help!! |
