THE CAR BRAKED NORMALLY AT FIRST, THEN THE CAR EITHER FREE-WHEELED OR LURCHED FORWARD FOR ABOUT HALF A SECOND, BUT AS I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP BUT A LITTLE FURTHER THAN I WANTED. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ABOUT 10 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS BUT HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS. I FINALLY CONTACTED MY DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HE SAID THAT THIS WAS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE BRAKES ON THIS MODEL. HE SAID THAT WHAT I WAS SENSING WAS THE INTERVAL WHEN THE CAR SWITCHES BETWEEN REGENERATIVE BRAKES AND HYDRAULIC BRAKES. HE SAID THAT THERE IS AN ORDER TO FIX THE HS 2010 MODELS SO THAT THE INTERVAL IS MINIMIZED OR ELIMINATED BUT NONE FOR MY MODEL CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 LEXUS RX400H THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER 2006. EVER SINCE FIRST TAKING OWNERSHIP, I HAVE NOTICED AT SPEEDS LESS THAN ABOUT 25 MPH THAT THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING SOMETIMES RELEASES THE BRAKES WITHOUT WARNING AND THE HYDRAULIC BRAKES DO NOT IMMEDIATELY ENGAGE TO TAKE UP THE DESIRED BRAKING FUNCTION. THE RESULTING FEELING IS ONE OF LOST BRAKE CONTROL AND A SLIGHT SURGE FORWARD BY THE VEHICLE. I FIRST REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AT THE 10,000 MILE SERVICE CHECK (09-18-2007) AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS PERFORMING NORMALLY. "CANNOT VERIFY CUSTOMER CONCERN." I HAVE SEVERAL TIMES SINCE ASKED THE LEXUS DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE, AND EACH TIME HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY BRAKE SYSTEM IS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE DEALER HAS SAID THAT IT MUST BE THAT I'M NOT USED TO THE REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM ACTION, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I'VE NOW DRIVEN THE CAR OVER 55,000 MILES. I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY'VE HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE WITH MY MODEL VEHICLE. I'VE KNOWN ALL ALONG THAT I WASN'T IMAGING THIS PROBLEM AND AFTER ALL THE PUBLICITY REGARDING THE PRIUS BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS I REALIZE THAT TOYOTA / LEXUS HAS BEEN IGNORING THIS ISSUE. *TR

MAY 2008: PURCHASED 2007 LEXUS 400H SUV. CAR GREAT EXCEPT BRAKES. SOMETHING WAS ODD. JUNE 2008: SENT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK BRAKES. THEY INSISTED EVERYTHING WAS FINE. MY DISCOMFORT WAS DUE TO MY INEXPERIENCE WITH THE 'REGENERATIVE' BRAKING SYSTEM. I TRIED TO GET USED TO IT. IT SEEMED TO GET WORSE OVER TIME. AT AROUND 10 MPH, THE BRAKING MOMENTUM CHANGES SUDDENLY. THE CAR FLOATS BRIEFLY THEN SURGES A LITTLE. IT WAS UNCLEAR IF IT HAPPENED ALL THE TIME, OR ONLY WITH GRADUAL BRAKING, OR ONLY WHEN STOPPING FROM A SLOW SPEED. JULY 22, 2009: ACCIDENT. BRAKES SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AS I TURNED THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE BEHIND ANOTHER CAR. I PANICKED WHEN THE CAR DIDN'T STOP AT THE EXPECTED POINT. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, MY FOOT SLIPPED AND I HIT THE ACCELERATOR. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SENDING IT TOWARD THREE OTHER CARS. THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF THE BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY. AUGUST 2009 -REPORTED ACCIDENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD TO TALK WITH LEXUS HEADQUARTERS IN CALIFORNIA. THEY ARRANGED FOR A FIELD AGENT TO GO TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 - CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVERYONE'S REVIEW. AFTERWARDS, TOLD BY PHONE THAT NO PROBLEMS WERE IDENTIFIED AND THE CAR WAS SAFE. I WASN'T COMFORTABLE WITH THAT DECISION. ON NOVEMBER 27, 2009, I TOOK THE CAR IN AGAIN, INSISTING THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I DROVE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE ADMITTED HE FELT THE FLOATING/SLIGHT SURGE. HE CLAIMED IT WAS THE MOMENT BETWEEN THE END OF THE "REGENERATIVE" BRAKING SYSTEM AND WHEN THE CONVENTIONAL BRAKING SYSTEM KICKED IN. NOT HAPPY WITH THE EXPLANATION. THE FLOATING/SURGE MEANS YOU'RE NOT QUITE SURE WHEN YOU WILL STOP. ON JANUARY 6, 2010, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM LEXUS. THEIR FIELD TECHNICIAN INSPECTED MY CAR, FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND THE ACCIDENT COULD NOT BE RELATED. I DO NOT AGREE. NOW I HEAR ABOUT LEXUS HYBRID BRAKES PROBLEMS AND I ASSUME IT'S WHAT I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT ALL ALONG. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2007 LEXUS RX 440H WITH 22,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IMMEDIATELY (AND SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR TO LEARNING OF POTENTIAL TOYOTA AND LEXUS ACCELERATION AND BRAKING ISSUES) I NOTED THAT WHEN BRAKING FROM A LOW SPEED, SAY 20 MPH AT A STOP SIGN, THE BRAKES WOULD INITIALLY TAKE HOLD IN A NORMAL MANNER AND THEN, FOR A VERY BRIEF TIME, IT FELT AS IF THE CAR WAS SLIDING, THEN THE BRAKES WOULD CONTINUE TO TAKE HOLD AND BRING THE CAR TO A NORMAL STOP. TYPICALLY THIS HAS OCCURRED ON A SNOWY OR ICY SURFACE, BUT I HAVE NOT DETECTED THE ABS KICKING IN AT ANY TIME. THE ABS HAS OPERATED NORMALLY UNDER OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES. AT FIRST I ATTRIBUTED THIS TO THE HYBRID TECHNOLOGY AND REGENERATIVE BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE CAR. HOWEVER, IT NOW SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE EXPERIENCE THOSE DRIVING PRIUS AND LEXUS 250H AUTOMOBILES HAVE DESCRIBED THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE MEDIA. THIS BRAKING ANOMALY OCCURS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY EVERY TIME IT OCCURS AND IT OCCURS FREQUENTLY. SO FAR I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN ONE MONTH. *TR

13V396000 · Hybrid Propulsion System: Inverter

Sep 4, 2013

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Highlander hybrid vehicles manufactured February 16, 2005, through July 29, 2010; and model year 2006-2008 Lexus RX400h vehicles manufactured February 23, 2005, through December 2, 2008. The Intelligent Power Module (IPM) inside the inverter module may contain transistors that have higher operating temperatures than the solder can support and the transistors may be heat damaged by the solder. If this occurs, various warning lamps, including the malfunction indicator lamp, slip indicator light, brake system warning light, and master warning light, will be illuminated on the instrument panel.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: The vehicle may enter a fail-safe/limp-home mode that limits the drivability of the vehicle. It is possible that the hybrid system will shut down while the vehicle is being driven, causing the vehicle to stall unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the IPM free of charge. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Vehicles that had their IPM replaced under recall 11V-342 are not affected by this campaign.

11V342000 · Electrical System

Jun 29, 2011

TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2007 HIGHLANDER HYBRID AND LEXUS RX400H PASSENGER CARS MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY 16, 2005, THROUGH AUGUST 30, 2006. A MODULE INSIDE THE INVERTER MODULE MAY CONTAIN INADEQUATELY SOLDERED TRANSISTORS THAT DURING HIGH-LOAD DRIVING, MAY BE DAMAGED BY HEAT CAUSED BY THE LARGE CURRENT. IF THIS OCCURS, VARIOUS WARNING LAMPS, INCLUDING THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP, SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT, BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT, AND MASTER WARNING LIGHT, WILL BE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: THE VEHICLE MAY ENTER A FAIL-SAFE/LIMP-HOME MODE THAT LIMITS THE DRIVABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE HYBRID SYSTEM WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: TOYOTA/LEXUS MAILED AN INTERIM OWNER NOTIFICATION ON JULY 19, 2011 TO ADVISE OWNERS OF THIS RECALL AND THE FACT THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE A FUTURE NOTICE WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE REPAIRS. TOYOTA DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE HYBRID INVERTER PRODUCTION NUMBER TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE INVERTER CONTAINS SUSPECT TRANSISTORS AND REPLACE THE MODULE FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

Feb 24, 2011

TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 HIGHLANDER, HIGHLANDER HYBRID, AND MODEL YEAR 2004-2007 LEXUS RX330, RX350, AND RX400H VEHICLES. IF THE FORWARD RETENTION CLIP USED TO SECURE THE FLOOR CARPET COVER, WHICH IS LOCATED IN FRONT OF THE CENTER CONSOLE, IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY THE COVER MAY LEAN TOWARD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND INTERFERE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ARM.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: IF THIS OCCURS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY TEMPORARILY BECOME STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION RATHER THAN RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION. A STUCK ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY RESULT IN UNINTENDED AND SUSTAINED VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FLOOR CARPET COVER WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED ONE FREE OR CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MARCH 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

DP22005 · Pedestrian Alert Sounds

Opened Jan 27, 2023 · Closed Aug 7, 2023

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System:propulsion System

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.

PE11005 · Hybrid Inverter Failure - Vehicle Stall

Opened Feb 15, 2011 · Closed Jul 20, 2011

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Hybrid Propulsion System: Inverter

In a June 29, 2011 letter to NHTSA, Toyota submitted a Defect Information Report regarding a safety recall of certain Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Lexus RX400h vehicles to address a defect condition with the hybrid inverter assembly (NHTSA Recall No. 11V-342).Toyota's letter identified a defect related to inadequately soldered transistors on the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) of some of the subject vehicles that could result in sudden loss of power while driving.Toyota's remedy procedure instructs dealers to inspect the hybrid inverter production number to determine if the inverter contains suspect transistors.If so, the dealer will replace the IPM.The recall covers approximately 45,528 model year (MY) 2006 and 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid vehicles manufactured from February 16, 2005 through August 29, 2006 and approximately 36,745 MY 2006 and 2007 Lexus RX400h vehicles manufactured from February 23, 2005 through August 30, 2006.This Preliminary Evaluation is closed.

On February 16, 2010, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened RQ10-003 to determine whether the scope of prior Toyota recalls relating to potential unintended acceleration were sufficiently broad, including, among others, Toyota recalls 07E-082, 09V-388, 10V-017, and 10V-023.NHTSA also requested information regarding potential electronic causes of unintended acceleration in Toyota and Lexus vehicles.I. Pedal Interference from Floor mats, Carpet Covers and Plastic Pads in Carpets.During the RQ10-003 investigation, ODI reviewed a large volume of documents to assess whether additional vehicles should be recalled.Following the agency's analysis, NHTSA requested that Toyota recall additional vehicles.Toyota complied with the agency's request.The details of these recalls are set forth more fully in Toyota's reports to NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573.These recalls are as follows:Recall 11V-112: (1) model year (MY) 2004-2006 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid; and, (2) MY 2004-2007 Lexus RX330,RX350, and RX400h (hybrid model). The total estimated population under this recall is 769,379 vehicles.This recall remedies potential accelerator pedal entrapment caused by a loose floor carpet cover (trim panel). Recall 11V-113: (1) MY 2003-2009 through 2009 Toyota 4Runner; (2) MY 2006-2010 Toyota RAV4; and, (3) MY 2008-2011 Lexus LX570.The total estimated population under this recall is 1,381,000 vehicles.This recall supplements recall 09V-388 and remedies potential accelerator pedal entrapment by an unsecured floor mat.Recall 11V-115: (1) MY 2006-2007 Lexus GS300 (all wheel drive vehicles); and, (2) MY 2006-2007 Lexus GS350 (all wheel drive vehicles). The total estimated population under this recall is 19,647 vehicles.This recall remedies potential accelerator pedal entrapment caused by inadequate clearance between the pedal linkage and a plastic pad embedded in the vehicle's carpet.II. Potential Electronic Causes of Unintended Acceleration.After NHTSA opened RQ10-003, NHTSA launched a ten-month study of potential electronic causes of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles.NHTSA launched the study in the spring of 2010 in light of concerns aired in Congressional hearings.NHTSA enlisted engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with expertise in areas such as computer controlled electronic systems, electromagnetic interference and software integrity to assess whether electronic systems or electromagnetic interference played a role in incidents of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles.That study has concluded.Two reports are associated with the study and are available on NHTSA's website.NASA's report is entitled Technical Support to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on the Reported Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) Unintended Acceleration (UA) Investigation, NESC Assessment No. TI-10-00618 (Jan. 18, 2011).NHTSA's report is entitled Technical Assessment of Toyota Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Systems (Feb. 2011).Both reports should be read in conjunction with each other. As stated in its report, NASA did not find an electronic cause of large throttle openings that can result in unintended acceleration incidents. NHTSA did not find a vehicle-based cause of unintended acceleration incidents other than the physical pedal interference causes that are being addressed by Toyota's recalls. This RQ is closed.

Potential Electronic Causes of Unintended Acceleration.After NHTSA opened RQ10-003, NHTSA launched a ten-month study of potential electronic causes of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles.NHTSA launched the study in the spring of 2010 in light of concerns aired in Congressional hearings.NHTSA enlisted engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with expertise in areas such as computer controlled electronic systems, electromagnetic interference and software integrity to assess whether electronic systems or electromagnetic interference played a role in incidents of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles.That study has concluded.Two reports are associated with the study and are available on NHTSA's website.NASA's report is entitled Technical Support to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on the Reported Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) Unintended Acceleration (UA) Investigation, NESC Assessment No. TI-10-00618 (Jan. 18, 2011).NHTSA's report is entitled Technical Assessment of Toyota Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Systems (Feb. 2011).Both reports should be read in conjunction with each other. As stated in its report, NASA did not find an electronic cause of large throttle openings that can result in unintended acceleration incidents. NHTSA did not find a vehicle-based cause of unintended acceleration incidents other than the physical pedal interference causes that are being addressed by Toyota's recalls. This RQ is closed.

On February 16, 2010, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened RQ10-003 to determine whether the scope of prior Toyota recalls relating to potential unintended acceleration were sufficiently broad, including, among others, Toyota recalls 07E-082, 09V-388, 10V-017, and 10V-023.NHTSA also requested information regarding potential electronic causes of unintended acceleration in Toyota and Lexus vehicles.I. Pedal Interference from Floor mats, Carpet Covers and Plastic Pads in Carpets.During the RQ10-003 investigation, ODI reviewed a large volume of documents to assess whether additional vehicles should be recalled.Following the agency's analysis, NHTSA requested that Toyota recall additional vehicles.Toyota complied with the agency's request.The details of these recalls are set forth more fully in Toyota's reports to NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573.These recalls are as follows:Recall 11V-112: (1) model year (MY) 2004-2006 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid; and, (2) MY 2004-2007 Lexus RX330,RX350, and RX400h (hybrid model). The total estimated population under this recall is 769,379 vehicles.This recall remedies potential accelerator pedal entrapment caused by a loose floor carpet cover (trim panel).
