What owners wrote

Car was stopped behind a landscaper's trailer for a second and the engine accelerated so fast and so loudly and overrode the brake smashing into the back of the trailer. Husband was unable to reach the keys to turn off the engine. Wife was injured in chest area and taken to the hospital. This was a loaner from toyota until they investigated why our highlander was accelerating the day before. The consumer stated toyota insisted there was nothing wrong with the vehicle.

Reported at 20 miles, February 2013 CrashInjury

The car engine and RPM go up when the car go down hill or you slow down in traffic at speed 45/35/25 MPH. Definitely it happen more often at speed of 25/35 MPH with full tank or 3/4 of gas tank. When I'm down hill at speed 30 or more then come to the point you need to slow down to make a turn at 25 MPH the RPM when up to at some point the RPM up to 2.5 x 1000. I have notice this issue at my toyota dealer when my service 10,000 mile and they test the car and said nothing happen to the car.
