problem #2

Highlander 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 126,000 miles

Rear hatch door won't always lock due to rear hatch door lock sensor malfunction, senses the door is ajar when it is closed, especially on warm or hot days.

Update from Apr 11, 2017: Problem solved.

problem #1

Highlander

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

Door locks were not locking. had to reprogram the ecu several times. Thought it was the Avital alarm causing it, but turns out to be the ECU.

I brought in to Toyota and they said it's the ECU.

$900 to fix.
