Toyota Pickup complaints by model year
What 2001 Toyota Pickup owners say
Windows, wipers & sunroof
The driver-side window has an auto up and auto down feature. The auto up does not have a sensor to stop travel if window is blocked. This can cause personal injury and/or the glass to break. Recent news story described small girl who suffocated by activating power window switch while her head was extended through the window opening. The highlander operator only needs to "bump" switch once and travel will not stop until closed unless window switch is pressed again.
With rear windows open, the sound the resonates from cargo area is very uncomfortable to the occupants. Not able to drive with rear windows open. Not a one-time occurance, but daily. This would deter future purchases.
