What owners wrote
2006 toyota highlander. Consumer states that the vehicle stalls due to a electrical problem which drains the battery. The vehicle has stalled 6 times and the battery has been replaced 3 times. The dealer did find an internal short by the engine and the theft deterrent switch was replaced. The consumer stated the dealer has been unable to rectify the stalling problem.
I was driving in my highlander with my daughters in the back seat when suddenly out of no where all the alert lights came on and there was no power at all - the gas pedal was non functional - I was in the far left lane of a an interstate and fortunately I was able to get off the road and pull the car out of traffic as it rolled to a stop. I waited on the crowded interstate for two hours for a tow.
