Toyota Highlander

"Toyota puts a plastic on the car and this one got mold under it. Toyota claims that the plastic is meant to be removed and they won't correct it but I simply don't believe them. I'm going to have to get a body shop to do the work. Once the plastic is removed a good wash and wax "should" put the car in great condition. I've been told that the plastic is to protect against rock dings and has nothing to do with shipping a new car. This started about three years ago."

"Water infiltrated the rear light about two years ago. It has not effected the function of the lamp."

"Paint on hood right next to windshield holds water . It causes the paint to become defective"

"Noticed dragging sound on braking and especially while backing up. Occurred about a year ago. Mechanic replaced brake pads and rotors on rear (maybe calipers too). Problem was improper dragging on the brake pad surfaces. It may be happening again as I've noticed the dragging sound in the last two weeks. Have not taken it to the mechanic but will soon."

"Vibration occurred while traveling slowing vehicle down a long steep incline of 6 degrees or more."

"The pulsing of the brakes was caused by brake disc. They were replaced and everything worked fine."

"Keyless entry system would unlock all but the drivers door causing me to have reach across passenger side with umbrella to manually unlock door. Repair at dealer was +/-$1500."

"All doors would not open"

"The car battery died. The remote keyless entry will not work. The manual key fob did not work due to a piece inside the door so had to call a locksmith to unlock the car so we could pop the hood and Chang the battery. Only one keyless entry is not a good design. Part failure in door for manual fob is poor design."

"purchased new tires"

"Loud noise right rear. suspension problem. mechanic said it should have had a recall."

"when hitting small bumps, the ride was hard and loud. After about 3000 more miles. I had the front struts replaced."

"The hood release cable broke."

"The panel broke off completely for no reason."

"The rear hatch will raise on it's own without the button being activated...and then it can be a problem trying to get it closed and secured. Local dealer says he has to see it happen to fix it so I guess he doesn't have an electronic diagnostic machine. It started about three years ago and does it periodically with no warning maybe once a month."

"It began with a noise and grew to a point where it would no longer blow air into the cabin, required a new blower motor and that addressed the problem"

"There were a few leaks in the line; these were repaired by my mechanic"

"Surprised the water pump failed at this low kilometers"

"Water pump bearing failed causing car to leak antifreeze and made a loud squealing sound."

"our thermostat wasn't working and we couldn't keep the car comfortable. We took it in figuring we needed a minor repair and found out that the head gasket was faulty and we would need to replace the car or rebuild/replace the engine."

"There was an orange blob near the head gaskets when they went to replace the water pump. The first dealership (which was not a Toyota dealership), cleaned the head gasket area and to me to take it to a local Toyota dealership for repair. They could see the exact cause. After talking with the first dealership and Toyota's main center, they said it is normal to leak antifreeze and that I need to check the level at every oil change. They said the engine was ok and should be fine if I keep doing my oil changes regularly as I always do. There have not been any problems noticed since taking it in back around Nov/Dec. 2023."

"The left front wheel bearing had to be replaed"
