2008 Toyota Highlander: there is a faulty wiring harness for the airbig deployment. It has been fixed but it occurs again and then have to get it fix again. Due to faulty a wiring harness that could fail and prevent airbag deployment, it is dangerous for me, my kids, or anyone that owns or drives a 2008 Toyota Highlander.
On 6/9/2010 asked dealer to ck. Vehicle b/c air vents were throwing out white substance. Dealer said the cabin filter was contaminated and replaced at 27,180 miles. On 12/9/2010 31,109 miles returned to dealer with same complaint white substance through vents. Same response, cabin filter. I said how could filter be the problem after just 3929 miles, 6 mo service. Dealer checked with Toyota no record of issues here. We also own a 2007 Lexus and had the same problem. On 1/14/2011 Lexus service replaced the evaporater core with updated part as per TSB 0032-28. Lexus said Toyota dealer should do the same. Toyota dealer has refused to replace. My concern, warranty expires in March 2011 and still having the problem. Cannot continue to replace costly cabin filter. What should I do to get the repair completed?.
On may 22, 2010 my Toyota Highlander sudden accelerated. I was at a full stop (red light) on 14th street at the intersection of castro heading west uphill. My foot was on the brake when my truck suddenly accelerated. The truck jerked forward even though my foot was on the brake. I reported it to san francisco Toyota service representative when I brought in my truck for the recall service on may 29, 2010. They completed the recall as required, but he dismissed my comment about the above incident. I believe the real issue is the electronic or software programming of vehicle controls and wish to have this documented if a more serious problem occurs.
