ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

our 2014 toyota highlander limited was purchased new with 18 miles on february 25, 2014. on march 7, 2014 while driving on city streets another driver failed to stop at a red light so i pressed the horn to alert the driver while i swerved out of his path. the horn did not work so the driver was not alerted and continued in their direction of travel. my need to swerve would have been avoided if the other driver was paying attention and i was able to alert him with my horn.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

factory installed gps system when set to a destination will take you off the main road just prior to your destination and direct you in circles then tell you to get back on the main road that you just got off of. this creates an issue as one time it took us in a undesirable neighborhood; but more often than not will take you cruising in unknown neighborhood's before it tells you to get back on the main road you were just on. on other occasions it will tell you to take say a right turn then a few seconds later tell you to take a left turn causing you to erratically change lanes and make turns.
