[XXX] was turning left onto [XXX] from [XXX].  Two lanes turn left.  She was in the inside lane.  The traffic light was red, and when it turned green, she started to turn.  Partway through the turn, the steering became unresponsive.  She couldn't get it to turn left, and she could not complete the turn, and crashed into the pole that holds the traffic signal.  She traveled less than 100 ft total from the light to the pole. The accident was at 1:30 PM on a dry and clear day.  The car has 8087 miles on it. There were no observed indications of warning lights and no symptoms of a problem.  The vehicle was towed to a salvage lot, the Insurance company inspected it and declared it a total loss. All the airbags went off.  I mentioned to the adjuster that there was a mechanical problem, and he said they would not investigate that.   [XXX] suffered a broken rib on her left side and has some serious cuts from the airbag below the dash, and of course, the seatbelt soreness.

TOYOTA HIGHLANDER 2025 STEERING

The contact owns a 2025 Toyota Highlander. The contact stated that while she and her husband were driving at 60 MPH, she heard a loud explosion noise from above her head and felt air whipping on top of her head. The contact stated that the sunroof exploded; however, the sunroof shield prevented the glass from entering the vehicle. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and inspected, but the contact did not find anything wrong at that time. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that a rock may have hit the sunroof. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 8,498.

TOYOTA HIGHLANDER 2025 VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY

I am reporting a safety defect in the 2025 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Nightshade involving the multifunction turn signal switch. The interior trim adhesive on the steering column has experienced a chemical breakdown (adhesive migration), causing the turn signal stalk to become stiff and bind. This obstruction makes it difficult to engage the turn signal and occasionally prevents the signal from "auto-canceling" after a turn.  The dealership  has acknowledged the adhesive failure by authorizing the replacement of the steering column covers but refuses to replace the contaminated turn signal switch. Operating a vehicle with a binding turn signal switch is a direct safety hazard, as it compromises the driver's ability to communicate intent to other motorists.  Additionally, the dashboard material is experiencing systemic delamination and producing a white crystalline powder (crystallized adhesive). I am requesting an investigation into the heat-resistance standards of the interior bonding agents used in the 2025 Nightshade trim, as these materials are failing and compromising safety-critical electronic controls.  Thank  XXX XXX
