While stopped on an incline with brake being pressed vehicle started rolling backwards and skid light came on. put vehicle in 'park' and vehicle stopped. placed vehicle in 'drive', accelerated and drove away without further incident. took vehicle to dealership for inspection and was told no problem identified.
When locking the doors, even though the batteries have been changed the doors have to be locked manuel. the trunk opens on it own. i can be in the house and when i go outside the trunk is open.
1. my car has only 30000 miles and yesterday brake malfunction showed up. my wife had hard time stopping this vehicle. 2. since i am reporting brake issue. it is important to share our speed gage is counting 2 -3 miles/hour higher than actual speed. we had a kind of sense for this. now i purchased a very high efficacy gps. which confirmed. when ever we are passing by speed detector on any given street. my speed meter is 2 -3 miles higher as compared shows on speeding detector on street . i do not want to pay to the dealer but i wanted to report for sure.
Light turned red. i attempted to stop. brake pedal was rock hard no response. two more attempts useless. i just continued across the intersection and there was no further event. this was the third event for this car. i refuse to drive it again. i am awaiting a resolution from toyota under a california lemon law dispute. *tr
While pulling into a parking stall in a private parking lot, my highlander suddenly accelerated and i had no brakes at all! my highlander went up over the curb which caused the vehicle to slow. i had brakes again and was able to apply the brake, coming to a safe stop. not before slashing my left front tire and bending my tire rim. thankfully no one was injured. *js
The car will not hold when parked on a steep incline. not even in my driveway at home. especially if there are people in the car because of the added weight. they adjusted it the first time and said it would be fine. that only lasted a month. took it in again and they said nothing was wrong but they adjusted it more. tech said they might have to charge me because it is going to wear out the parking brake pads. never had some thing like this happen in any vehicle i have owned. it currently is not holding so i apply the brake to the floor and then put it in park. not a good practice. *tr
