TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007 car safety problem was reported on June 30, 2013.TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . vehicle was traveling out of state when it suddenly stalled and loss all power. fortunately was able to pull into a rest stop which was 100 miles from my home. had the vehicle towed to toyota dealership in hattiesburg, ms and they stated the problem was with the inverter and it would cost approx. $8000 to fix. toyota has had a recall on the exact same inverter for model years 2006 and 2007. i contacted toyota headquarters and they stated that the recall does not apply to my vin number although in reading complaints by others online, my vehicle and description of the problem and diagnosis by the dealer all fit. toyota knew it had a problem with the inverter system and i was never alerted to a potential problem with the system as i was not the original owner. i am lucky that my child was not in the vehicle at the time and also lucky that i was not involved in a crash as a result of this problem. they refuse to address my concerns or pay for the repairs for this defective system which they knew was defective when i purchased the vehicle. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 150000 miles.

TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007 car safety problem was reported on Nov 14, 2013.TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE . on the approximate date written above, i received a notice of recall from toyota related to the replacement of the part noted above [ipm]. the notice instructed me to contact my toyota dealer and indicated that the ipm "would be replace." the notice went on to say "...it is possible that the fuse of the power supply circuit could blow, causing the hybrid system to shut down and resulting in the vehicle stopping while being driven. this can increase the risk of a crash." being somewhat risk adverse, i immediately called and schedule an appointment which occurred earlier today. at that appointment, i was told "the part would be inspected to determine if it needed to be replaced." clearly, this information was different than that provided by the notice. worse, however, is the fact that the dealer, having determined that the part did indeed need to be replaced, then informed me that the part would need to be ordered and since they were on backorder there was no way they could tell me when the promised repair might actually occur. as a result of the above, this highly dangerous situation is being allowed to continue until toyota gets its act together. somehow, that doesn't seem quite right and i thought you might like to know. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 66000 miles.

TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007 car safety problem was reported on July 29, 2014.TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . my car had been making a chirping noise when i braked so i took it to a brake place and they put on new brake pads and rotors, about a week late all the lights on my dash came on saying everything was wrong, i called the brake place they said it was just a loose connection. about 2 months later i was slowing down to make a stop at a light approximately a half a football field away and my brakes just stopped working and i slid into the car in front of me.. i took it back to the brake place they said it was the hybrid system, from which there was a recall for my car. i took it to the toyota dealer and they fixed the recall but then said my problem is the brake hydraulic actuator, a 2500.00 part! from what i understand it is the sensor that tells your brakes to operate when you press the brake pedal!!! then i started researching and it looks like others are having the same problem in the hybrid highlander in 2006 and 2007 makes!!! i put my car in my garage for the last 2 months because i simply do not have the money to fix this and now the battery is completely dead! when i drove it home from the dealership after they fixed the recall and told me the news about the actuator, it felt like i was driving on ice and really had no control of the brakes at all... i would think with the complaints i have seen about this, that this would be a recall issue, i mean when you press on the brake pedal and your brakes actually work, your car should stop!! this could really end up hurting someone! .Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 129000 miles.

TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 06, 2014.TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . after getting off the highway (not in my town) lights came on my dashboard for the abs braking and vsc system. there were also additional characters like (!) in a circle. the manual said for all of these contact dealer immediately, which i did. i was told the abs accumulator needed to be replaced and it was approximately a $3,000 job. i had the repair completed and paid $2,700.00. (the dealer discounted the job). i am aware that toyota is aware of this problem and has extended the warranty on that same part in the camry hybrid. further the internet is replete with instances of this happening in 2006 and 2007 highlander hybrid models. toyota has no credit, extended warranty, or other benefit to highlander hybrid owners. i called toyota and have a case number with them (#1412081681). i feel there should be a recall or extension of warranty on this known defective part. is there any investigation into this issue?.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 170000 miles.
