general problems of the 2006 Toyota Highlander

While normally driving on the highway and without no warning the vehicle the power steering stops working , it just dies with no power and dash lights warning start to flash and check hybrid system turns on. I am not a mechanic nor a technician . The mechanic disconnected the ground cable after waiting about 5 minutes and it resets the system. He told me that it has something that may be caused by some electrical problem . He thinks that it has to do with a recall about some soldering electrical part in the inverter control. This has happened in 3 more occasion and I've been lucky and I have time to let it go to side of the road and I disconnect the ground wire for 5 minutes and connect it back and it resets and then starts to work normal. Since the vehicle stalls completely I fear that this could cause an accident or lost of life due to other vehicles coming behind at high speeds . Please I need help!.

After being driven or idling for awhile, the car starts cutting out. It acts like it isn't getting gas. I have to pump the accelerator or push it to the floor. Hills especially cause it to stall. It was so bad, I had it towed. The scan showed a oxygen sensor problem. Had that replaced. It drove ok for awhile. It has resumed the stalling. When I read the recall, it sounded like my car would be included. The VIN # shows it not being on the list. Please verify because it cuts out, acting like it isn't getting fuel. The area I was in was a country road with no shoulders to pull off on. It also happened on a 4 lane highway. If it is not a recall, any suggestion will be appreciated. The exact days in September are an educated guess. Thank you.

My 2008 Highlander only has 130,000 miles, yet the driver's side visor drops and falls unexpectedly while driving, thus causing a driving safety hazardthe vehicle is accident free. I have codes check engine, vsc and trac off. Gas cap was replaced with new official Toyota matched part & system checked but problem found - this display light combination is common on Toyotas around this time. . My gas mileage & acceleration performance is negatively affected. Inability to properly accelerate creates a danger for inability to avoid collisions.

While driving my vehicle all the lights on my dashboard illuminated. My vehicle lost power and I had to pull over. It died there. I was on belfield Ave and gratz street in philadelphia, PA . I subsequently had it towedback to my residence.

Sudden acceleration. Vehicle was stopped, with foot on brake, when sudden acceleration occurred very rapidly. Brake pressure could not keep vehicle from lurching foward and hitting the rear a of stopped vehicle. I never use my left foot on the brake, so I can never hit the brake and accelerator simultaneously.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Toyota Highlander. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked,the door was unable to function. In addition, once the door was able to open the contact smelled a fume odor. The vehicle was taken to an independent where it was diagnosed that the hybrid battery exploded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000. Ak.

Our 2006 Toyota Highlander hybrid would not start on several occasions. The car had been running for some time , turned off for 5 minutes and then it would not restart. After sitting for a few hours it restarted. Some times it had to be jumped and the code read "shift to park" even though it was already in park. I took it in and everything checked out and of course they said that they never heard of this happening before.
