| Description of the problem | 2019 highlander purchased 12/2019. I guess i am lucky, mine has not stalled yet. Very poor throttle response. Taken to autio nation toyota ft myers 3 times including having a regional rep there. He claims mine is operating within factory specs. Supposedly mine is not a part of the fuel pump issue. Not that it matters toyota says the parts are not available. Factory rep says mine has 41 computers. What could possibly go wrong? Yeh right look at this web site and see the similar complaints across the total toyota line including lexus. Warning if you have the lane departure feature (lda) be extra carefu. If the lda activates and yours is one with the lack of throttle response, it may end up moving you into another lane or off the roadway. It has happened to me. Acccelrater shifted wat down and almost put me in another lane. Luckily no other vehicles present how many body bags will it take to force the feds to act? Oh i forgot. They are needed else where. Toyota wins y more like a thunderstorm. If you bother to scan this fed web site you will see all th all i know is to the car bucks, fails to respond to normal acceleration, or over downshifts. So far i haven't taken out any other vhicle ,person, or me. If your vehicle is equipped with the lane departure feature (lda) watch out if you trying to accelerate, mine lda activated, and almost put me in another lane. Luckly there wasn't another another car there. Read all the similar complaints on this federal website covering all models of the toyota brand (lexus included) with the 8 speed transmission and see nothing is being done by toyota or the feds. I wonder if the feds need a body bag count to take action. Oh i forgot the bags are needed else where and toyota will win. |
