Defect Description:

VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

Our vehicle is less than 2 months old, and it had less than 5,000 miles before highway debris (gravel) chipped and cracked the windshield on two separate occasions. I have never had a chip or crack caused by rocks before, and my previous vehicles have been hit plenty of times. Talking to people that own the Lexus equivalent of my Grand Highlander (Lexus TX), they have similar experiences with what appears to be very weak windshields. I will have to replace the windshield.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

After coming to a stop the vehicle will not accelerate as it should. A severe loss of power as it will only advance very slowly for 10 to 15 seconds. This is always in an intersection, so it is dangerous. Seems to happen mostlyin hot weather when the A/C is on.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Potential Consequences:

Multiple times I have pressed the gas pedal and the car has not responded, as in did not accelerate. I was almost T-boned one time because of it since I was turning left and could not accelerate above 5mph. This is a frequent issue among GH Hybrids from talking to others.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Potential Consequences:

- Vehicle intermittently will not respond or will barely respond when accelerator is depressed from a complete stop or near (rolling) stop. I have noticed this issue mainly when A/C is on high and during hot temperatures. I reside in the Phoenix, AZ area where high temperatures have been ranging around 110-115. - This poses a safety risk when attempting to pull out onto a busy road, either turning left or right. If the gas pedal fails to respond, this could lead to a serious crash. - This issue has arisen following a recent software update that Toyota performed (under service bulletin TSB-0017-24). This update was done to correct a different issue (shifting hesitation between gears when accelerating from 0-40mph), however it seems to have negatively affected the response of the vehicle when starting up from a stop. I have not yet taken my vehicle back to Toyota with this issue, but MANY owners of the HybridMAX are experiencing this same issue as the weather temperatures have peaked. - No warning lights appear when this occurs. The problem arose shortly after I had a software update done at the dealer on June 14, 2024.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Starting off from a stop or at low speeds the vehicle loses all power. Engine stumbles and does not respond, when it happens it almost feels like the engine may stall. Pressing the accelerator and the vehicle will not move, then suddenly will start to go seconds later. This has almost resulted in a crash since the vehicle loses all propulsion unexpectedly. No warning lights. Took to the dealer twice and everything is “normal” no codes stored.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

**Vehicle:** Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Max **Issue:** On high-temperature days, when the A/C is running at full capacity, the vehicle occasionally fails to accelerate from a stop. This issue persists even after applying the recommended ECM update. **Safety Concern:** The lack of reliable acceleration poses a significant safety risk, particularly when turning across oncoming traffic or entering a busy street. This situation can leave the vehicle stalled in the path of approaching vehicles, increasing the likelihood of an accident. **Action Taken:** Applied the ECM update that is supposed to resolve the issue, but the problem persists.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Potential Consequences:

1. Transmission issues with slippage, response. Issues where when going from reverse into drive taking 2-3 seconds to engage. Issues coming from a stop to going as well whereas there’s a hesitation with propulsion. 2. Safety has been at risk numerous times when pulling into heavily trafficked areas. Response to pedal should not have a 1-2 second hesitation, but it does and it’s sporadic. Can no longer back into locations where it may be important to put it into drive and move fast, a 3 second delay is a long time when you’re not moving and someone is going 50mph in a 35. 3. Dealer reproduced the delay from reverse to drive and annotated it was “normal” behavior. 4. Dealer denies issues with transmission, brought to another where they said it was a CVT and that’s just how they are and master tech came for drive with me. He was wrong, XLE is not a CVT. They flashed it/reset it. Seemed to help with shifting issues, however it did not fix delays. 5. No warning lamps.

Potential Consequences:

The vehicle randomly won’t go when starting out from a complete stop. You can push the gas pedal to the floor and it will barely move. Almost got hit in an intersection trying to make a left turn. Toyota is aware of the problem and has a TSB and did an ECM update but the problem persists. It’s scary when it happens. Can’t trust the vehicle.
