I have had problems with the brakes since I bought the vehicle new in 2016. I have the brakes checked every year and when I had problems but they never found the problem why the brakes do not work. The worse accident was on November 19, 2022 when my wife was using the car. She was in the car alone. She went to brake and the brakes did not engage, she slammed on the brakes 4 times and the car did not even slow down and she rear-ended the car in front of her. The air bags did not engage and she was injured. The brakes do not always work, I have gone through stop signs and red lights but the dealership says there is no problem.

I own a 2016 Highlander limited platinum and after a major accident I have a serious concern about the safety claims. Yesterday my wife was in a rollover (2 full rotations) accident in her 2016 Highlander platinum. Car was destroyed, her head hit both the steering wheel and the B-pillar, both have airbags. Not a single airbag was deployed. Driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags, driver knee airbag, front passenger seat-cushion airbag and all-row roll-sensing side curtain airbags = all a total fail, none of that worked. The onstar lady did however sense the accident and dispatch an ambulance and police, that was excellent. Whatever car I get as a replacement will defiantly have that. Not real happy about the safety on this vehicle. One of the reasons that we purchased this vehicle was the iihs rating on the vehicle. Right on there site it talks about the safety and the airbag roll system but the reality is in a rollover this did not work I will have the accident scene picture later today. I currently only have some of the vehicle after it was towed.

Airbags deployed during an accident where the 2016 Highlander hit the rear of the car in front of it that had slowed for a traffic light. This accident happened on 1-25-16 and the car was transported to a Toyota auto body shop on the 26th. Since then Highlander has been totally repaired except for the side airbags. Toyota motor in ca has no idea when airbags will be released for use in parts on 2016 model. It is now 3/21/16.
