What owners wrote
Upon attempting to engage the brakes, it was found that they did not work. Immediately thereafter, the car began an uncommanded full acceleration. The insurance company has totaled the car. Our safety as occupants was obviously at serious risk. The driver chose to take the car off the road rather than jeopardize the lives of others on the same road. The car plowed through boulders and trees, coming to rest upside down wedged between an earthen berm and a tree......suspended about 2 feet above the ground.
I bought my 2021 toyota highlander XLE AWD from toyota of dallas on 4/11/21. I have had nothing but trouble from the fuel guage / distance to empty system. From showing full when the tank is not full to refusing to change from full even after driving over 100 miles, I have become very disturbed by this vehicle. I am unable to get toyota and the dealership to respond to me after several attempts. My car is currently sitting in the garage showing a full tank after driving 169 miles after refuelling!
