    Owner Reported Trouble Spots

    The Reliability score is based on our latest subscriber survey of 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid owners. The owner comments describe problems respondents experienced with this vehicle.

    Fuel System/Emissions

    Sensors (O₂, or oxygen, sensor), emission-control devices (includes EGR), fuel-injection system, fuel gauge/sender, fuel pump, problems filling up the tank.

    What Owners Say

    Fuel gauge/sender

    "The low fuel light and distance to empty are over 100 miles off. When it says I have less than ten miles to go, I can only put 14 gallons of gas into the 17.1 gallon tank. I have an appointment to get it fixed under warranty next week."

    Anonymous A., NC (2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)
    Other emissions/fuel system problem

    "I noticed that the gas gage is off by over 100 miles and I've brought it in twice and the dealer didn't seem to think it's a problem. When I spend 40,000 dollars for a truck I expect it to read correctly. It will show me my tank is empty yet I can only put 14 gallons of gas in a 17.1 gallons tank. The DTE only shows 500 miles when I fill the tank when it should show over 600 miles."

    Anonymous A., NC (2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited 2.5-L 4 Cyl hybrid)
    Sensors (includes O2 or oxygen sensor)

    "Engine error code occurred at 2700 miles. Toyota was not able to identify root cause. Error code cause severe braking issues. Error repeated two more times. Finally Fall 2023 Error Toyota engineers discover the root cause at 45000 miles. It took Toyota 10-days to repair before returning the Highlander to us. It was a extremely scary experience each time!"
