2006 Toyota Highlander Other or unknown Problems

“The driver's side sun visor began to fail on june 13, 2015 where it would not stay in its intended positions, snug against the roof or windshield, but could be kept out of the way. On june 22, it not longer stayed in either fixed position but remained down, impairing my vision significantly. It had to be held up by hand until I could get home to remove it.”

“When braking our 2006 Toyota Highlander the brakes seem to catch then release, catch and release. This is on dry pavement. The local Toyota dealer service says this is normal operation and is because the battery recharging mechanism is taking over. This may be true but I am of the opinion that there is something wrong. When you apply the brakes and it reacts in the way it does you tend to want to easy up on the brakes because the car lurches a bit but that is the wrong thing to do!”

“- the contact stated that 2006 Toyota Highlander lost power when he used the vehicle for towing. Weather conditions varied, road conditions were primarily icy, gravel, and dirt. The only way he could get the vehicle to move was by un-hitching the trailer.

The vehicle lost power at 3,500 miles and at 17,500 miles. There were no warning signs before or after power loss. The vehicle started up and drove normally once the trailer was unhitched. …”

“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. …”

“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. …”
