1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2016

Abs light on with warning, brakes performing poorly. The abs actuator assembly and break pump failed requiring replacement with a cost of over $3764 in repairs. The Toyota camry hybrid had millions of recalls for the abs actuator but the Highlander Hybrid was currently not on recall. I own a 2000 Toyota 4 runner with over 200,000 miles and never had an abs issue. This car is only 6 years old and shouldn't require this problem so early.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/13/2012

Depressed accelerator after being stopped at traffic light. Car jerked forward, stopped and would not restart. Warning messages for the hybrid system (message was 'stop immediately and notify dealer'), brake system and 4 wheel drive. Car was towed to dealer who determined it was failure of hybrid inverter requiring complete replacement. I'm concerned because this sound similar to issues reported for 2006 and 2007 highlander models.
