2010 Toyota Highlander
The Toyota Highlander is a mid-size crossover SUV, the first such vehicle to be built on a car platform rather than being based on a truck. For that reason, it has surprisingly good fuel economy for a vehicle of its size. Its fuel economy is even comparable to many full-size cars, at 19 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.
Despite these advantages, however, the Highlander is one of many Toyota models that have been recalled over concerns about sudden unintended acceleration. Millions of Toyotas on the road today are at risk of suddenly accelerating out of the driver’s control. There have been hundreds of such incidents in recent years, in some cases leading to multiple deaths.
If you or someone you know has been injured by an out-of-control Toyota Highlander, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. To discuss your case with a compassionate sudden acceleration lawyer, call the attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier today at 800-242-2874.
Toyota Highlanders and Sudden Acceleration
If you own a 2010 Toyota Highlander, your safety and the wellbeing of your passengers may be at risk. Over the past several years, there have been hundreds of accident reports filed regarding sudden unintended acceleration in various Toyota models. During the course of otherwise normal driving, these hundreds of Toyota owners found themselves suddenly and inexplicably accelerating out of control.
Although some drivers were able to keep their vehicles under control despite the throttle being fully open, many others were not so fortunate. One of the better-known sudden acceleration events resulted in a vehicle crashing into a parked police car, killing four people. In another case, a vehicle lost control on the highway before plummeting into a pond below.
Any 2010 Toyota Highlander may potentially be at risk for the same problem. Although they are a popular model of car for their fuel efficiency and interior space, they may have dangerous defects that far outweigh any benefits. If you drive this model, you need to contact your Toyota dealer to learn more about the recall and your vehicle.
