Toyota Highlander Hybrid

"I let the brakes go too long without service, and developed pulsation. I consider this normal"

"stopped driving as I think it did not brake as fast as it should and was very noisy"

"In November 2021, with fully closed sunroof, after heavy downpour, water came out of left passenger seat belt assembly located on left side of car. Seat belt was soaked. I noticed that the left rubber gasket had shrunk/perished. On 05/17/2022, I notified my car dealership of the gasket condition and water infiltration. We could also hear loud wind and could see the sky from the middle left corner of the sunroof (which happens with cold and rainy weather when rubber is stiffer and shrunk). Dealer cleared the drain channels (which were not the source of the problem) and could not duplicate issue. Sunroof gasket is completely cooked, dry and brittle, and missing about in length compared to the other side. Previous dealership said that to replace the seal, the entire sunroom assembly would have to be removed, costly thousands of dollars. They suggested going to a body shop and ask them to apply silicone on the seal. This has not been done. As of 05/14/2024, wind and water infiltration continue to worsen."

"The screen kept showing incorrect information. The whole unit needed to be replaced. Fortunately it was covered by warranty. It happened just 500 miles before 100,000 mile warranty ran out."

"No problems with 2017 Highlander Hybrid until sudden warning lights & alarms at 80k miles while driving 80mph on interstate; warning was "Hybrid Engine Stopped" informing to pull off road and take car to dealer. Engine started smoking, caught fire, entire front of car damaged. Car totaled."

"An oxygen sensor that is located on the top of the engine, but under the injection system went bad. In order to change it, the injection system and manifold had to be removed. The cost was over $1000 due to the labor involved. The part was very inexpensive! On the good side, I got the spark plugs changed while the manifold was off which would normally have cost $750, so at least there was some benefit to the procedure."

"Cooling on driver side seat is working at a minimal temperature."
