A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

While driving up the I-5 grapevine at 72 mph the car suddenly slowed without any warning to under 20 mph. The check engine light turned on and the dash said AWD system disengaged or error or some similar message and to take to the dealer. I was barely able to accelerate to get off the road. I pulled off, turned the car off and back on, and it started running again. I'm lucky I was not rear ended.

Driving approximately 72 mph when vehicle died causing a potentially very hazardous situation - check engine light came on, master warning light came on, see dealer for repair message displayed. Was able to limp to side of road and had vehicle towed to dealership. After 2 days of diagnostic testing the engine control module (ECM) was replaced under warranty (less than 12,000 miles on vehicle). The vehicle is running, however, now notice a decrease in gas mileage and difference in transmission shifting since replacement.

Highlander

  • 192 miles
The contact owns a 2017 Toyota Highlander. While attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle would not drive forward and rolled backwards. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the rear axle shaft support bearing retaining ring failed and caused the axle to separate from the trans axle. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 192.
