Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps Problems of Toyota Highlander

The gps system does not provide verbal instructions; only visual. This causes the driver to remove his/her eyes from the road and look frequently and monitor the screen. I have visited the dealership numerous times but there are unable to fix the issue. They acknowledge the issue and stated that Toyota is working on a work around but no estimate is provided. .

1. My car has only 30000 miles and yesterday brake malfunction showed up. My wife had hard time stopping this vehicle. 2. Since I am reporting brake issue. It is important to share our speed gage is counting 2 -3 miles/hour higher than actual speed. We had a kind of sense for this. Now I purchased a very high efficacy gps. Which confirmed. When ever we are passing by speed detector on any given street. My speed meter is 2 -3 miles higher as compared shows on speeding detector on street . I do not want to pay to the dealer but I wanted to report for sure.

Toytota Highlander limited 2015 gps consistantly offers wrong directions. Even on a. Straight away such as us rt 1 it will take me aroind the block only to be put back on the same road. Itnhas taken me off highway ramps and sent me through neighborhoods only to put me baxk onto the highway. I contacted Toyota corporate who indicated theh were sorry but this is not covered indwr warranty as it is considered an assessory. The dealer said it may need map update whichnis 175 for the software load plus $ 75 service fee. My cheap $100 garmin provides free lifetime map updates and I have had to use it to ensure I reach my destination. Toyota has misrepresented the value of the useless gps.

The audio and gps system will reset it self while driving!!!! it happens all the time. No support from the dealers. . . .

Gps/radio often turns off while driving. Screen completely goes blank and keeps trying to reset itself. Voice commands often don't work while driving or stationary. Blue tooth often doesn't connect while driving or stationary. Tailgate often doesn't close and takes multiple tries to get to working again when stationary. Spongy/broken spring sound coming from the rear of the car as I drove over uneven road. Rear left tail light always foggy and contains moisture even after replacing it. Chirping sound coming from right side of car when driving on highway on windy days. Wheel and car shaking while driving on highway at speed over 60 mph.

The speedometer consistently indicated that I am traveling 2 to 3 mph more than my actual speed. The Highlander is factory original with no aftermarket parts installed. This issue was observed while traveling cross country and observing the plethora of radar speed indicators along I-80 and comparing to the indicator in the Highlander along with digital indication on both gps and iphone apps. I mentioned this the Toyota while performing the first service on the vehicle. I was told that there is nothing they can do about the supposed issue. Its not a safety issues as far as I know, but it is an irritation.

The complaint has to do with computer systems on this vehicle. Some of the complaint is convenience, but worrisome because other systems seem to be involved as well. The computer screen has always been slow/hesitent, with various "glitches". Vehicle has gps mapping screen which occassionally "disconnects" and resets to blank screen. The bluetooth and other systems have also "disconnected" and couldn't be reset until the vehicle was stopped and turned off. The headlights sometimes do not shut off, day/night doesn't work properly. Have had occassional problems with door locks not working as they should. Never know when and which systems will be affected. I have also filed a complaint about intermitent non-acceleration issues, which maybe related.

Factory installed gps system when set to a destination will take you off the main road just prior to your destination and direct you in circles then tell you to get back on the main road that you just got off of. This creates an issue as one time it took us in a undesirable neighborhood; but more often than not will take you cruising in unknown neighborhood's before it tells you to get back on the main road you were just on. On other occasions it will tell you to take say a right turn then a few seconds later tell you to take a left turn causing you to erratically change lanes and make turns.

The contact owns a 2004 Toyota Highlander. The contact stated that the gps navigation system on the vehicle failed which caused the air conditioning, heat, defrost and the radio to fail. The contact had the vehicle inspected by the dealer and was told that the navigation system needed to be replaced; however, the dealer did not give an explanation of what caused the failure to occur. The failure mileage was 42,000 and the current mileage was 82,000.

The gps in my 2004 Toyota Highlander goes on and off without warning. When it does it disables the defroster, ac and heat. I don't care about the gps, but when it disables my defroster, it is a safety issue. It should have been a recall from the manufacturer. Toyota has informed me a new gps will cost $5,000. 00. I can put a used one in for $1,500. 00. This is an unfair price to have a necessary safety function, the defroster, to work. Defroster are required for state inspection. Do you have any suggestions for Toyota to address this issue?.
