Toyota Highlander

"The front passenger seat power control no longer works. Because of the high cost to repair, we have not fixed it. It has been at least 18 months that it has not worked."

""The trim around the bottom of the driver's seat, quick houses the driver's seat controls, has broken (plastic).""

"The track that the driver seat moves on is not working right. Sometimes it will not move. Dealer told me it may need to be replaced at a cost of at least $2,000. I try only to move it when no one is in the seat to reduce its work load."

"I wasnt anticipating replacing my front pads/rotors at 25000 miles"

"Fused"

"New rotors and pads"

"From driving on dirt roads the car needed alignment which I learned at a regular maintenance service."

"Rear shock absorber was leaking oil and required replacing. Auto dealer repair shop found the problem at a normal maintenance appointment and we had the 2 rear shock absorbers replaced immediately along with an alignment."

""Wheel bearing went bad. Upon replacement garage said the hub was bad, which caused the bearing to go.""

"Trim keeps loosing up"

"After I had the vehicle for several months, maybe close to a year I noticed on the back corner panel on the passenger side the paint peeling up. It makes me wonder if the car had been in an accident and not reported. It had a certification on it that it had been in no accidents and I also noticed later that the windshield was a cheap replacement."

"The brief hesitation when gas pedal is pressed has been ever since we got it. No one has been able to correct it. Once it's going, the acceleration is great! So we just live with it."

""Case continues to hesitate when shifting at lower speeds, especially when the car slows down and then you try to accelerate. The transmission doesnt immediately engage and then surges when it finally engages.""

"The DEALER used dealer purchased insurance to buy a replacement engine (3 cylinders went bad). Toyota would stand behind this bad,obviously defective,engine. It had less than 100,000 miles"

"The timing chain cover has developed a leak."

""New transmission at 82000 miles, and adjusted sunroof two times and replaced glass the third trip in and adjusted for recuring water leaks the forth time.""

""Somewhere in the rear trunk area, maybe where the tools are stored, rattles continuously unless we are on a very smooth road. All the tools are in correct slots, everything closes up tight, but it continues. Started about 3 years ago. Haven't taken it in for service as that's a minor issue, and there is not a dealership within 50 miles.""

""Two electrical issues with the hatch. First, the hatch release button on the dash quit working. The button on the hatch itself still works. Second, the button that releases the window on the hatch quit working. It is located on the exterior of the hatch. The ability to open the top of the hatch (the window) and not the whole hatch was a helpful feature.""

"The high-pressure fuel pump serving the fuel injectors had to be replaced because it made the car stall and lit up the dash with error messages and lights."

"Both axles replaced"

""the timing chain cover was found to be leaking oil. A internet search of this identified that it is a fairly common issue with the 3GRFE 3.5 L V6 engine. The fix is extremely costly because the whole engine and transmission with sub frame needs to be removed to access the cover. The issue has been around for many years, yet Toyota has not addressed it.""

""At approximately 95,000 miles the car developed a whining/humming noise while accelerating. The dealer informed me a component of the transmission is bad, and I need a new transmission. I have since discovered many reports online of this transmission issue in 2015-2023 Highlanders. I went to AAMCO who did a rebuild. Finding and receiving parts took 2 weeks. I am disappointed that Toyota has not issued a recall.""
