| Description of the problem | I have three issues with the electronics in my 2014 highlander starting in june 2017 (right after my warrantee expired): 1. The electronic liftgate is non-functional. When opening, it takes multiple (5-10) attempts to get it to open all the way up. Same with closing the liftgate. Vehicle is stationary. 2. The electric passenger window will not close all the way until you try to close it multiple (5-10) times. It goes up about 3/4 of the way, then opens again. I found that it works quicker, after 2-3 times if the engine is shut off. Vehicle can be stationary or moving. 3. The bluetooth connecting my android phone stays connected for about 2 weeks and then i have to initialize it again to make it work. Vehicle can be stationary or moving. |
