MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER. IT HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AS THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WILL DROP DOWN, THE VSC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON, AND THE CAR IS UNCONTROLLABLE TO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES, ALL AT COMPLETELY RANDOM TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT 4,900 MILES. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED AND WE DRIVING 75 MPH DOWN HWY 5. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD OR NO TELLING WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED. ANOTHER TIME THE SUSPENSION COLLAPSED AND A FRONT AXLE BROKE. THE AXLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FOUND. THIS LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON 2-22-10. I DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY OVER TO CHUCK PATTERSON TOYOTA IN CHICO, CA. THEY PUT IT ON THEIR COMPUTER TO TEST IT AND WE WERE TOLD THEY HAD NO CODE TO FIX IT. THEY TOLD US TO CALL TOYOTA AND THEY WOULD DO THE SAME TO TRY AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM. AFTER MORE THEN A WEEK OF GETTING THE RUN AROUND THEY TOLD US WE NEEDED TO PICK UP OUR CAR AS THEY CAN NOT FIX THE IT!!! ON TOP OF THIS RECURRING PROBLEM WE ARE ON OUR 3RD SET OF TIRES, TWO OF WHICH HAVE BEEN RATED 50,000 MILE. WE HAVE APPLIED FOR ARBITRATION. WE ARE COMPLETELY DISSATISFIED WITH CHUCK PATTERSON TOYOTA AND TOYOTA. WE FEEL TOYOTA IS IGNORING OUR CASE. WE CANNOT BELIEVE WE WERE ASKED TO COME GET OUR VEHICLE AND IT WOULD BE DEALT WITH THEN (THE 6TH TIME) . WE FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE FOR OUR FAMILY TO DRIVE. IN ADDITION, BECAUSE OF THE SERVICE RECORDS AND THE F

VEHICLE STOPS RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING. *NM

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND STOPS RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS TWICE MY NEW TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID HAS FAILED WITH A 13 DAY PERIOD. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS 25 NOVEMBER WHILE TRAVELING ON IH-95 NEAR SAVANNAH, GA. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS 4 DECEMBER 2006 WHILE RETURNING FROM SAVANNAH, GA. PICKING UP THE CAR. IN BOTH INSTANCES THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND THE CAR WENT DEAD. NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, ETC. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED ON KILLED WITH NO WARNING AND NO WAY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE TOYOTA DEALER IN SAVANNAH THOUGHT THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS NOW AT THE SELLING DEALER IN DAYTONA BEACH, FL FOR REPAIRS. I AM AFRAID THAT THE CAR WILL NEVER BE SAFE UNTIL TOYOTA ISSUES A RECALL AND DETERMINES WHY THE CAR KEEPS BLOWING FUSE HIGH VOLTAGE< PART NO 90982-11049. THE CAR IS A TOYOTA HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007 MODEL. YOUR SITE DOES NOT HAVE IT ON THE MODEL MENU SO I USED LAND CRUSIER TO COMPLETE THE FORM. *NM
