Toyota Highlander

"My Highlander is an emerald green. The protective clear coat has come off in many areas and the green paint has come off down to the metal. A good paint job would be more than the vehicle is worth"

"The paint started peeling and cracking about 5 years ago. started on back bumper and now whole car is involved"

"Paint on hood and top has back oxidation problem"

"Edges of body panels developed chips that started to rust. Garaged vehicle"

"paint is peeling on hood and roof"

"problem with the area of hood and top, the paint comes out and peeling. I have not painted yet"

"The top of the car is definitely chalking and I've been told it can't be fixed. The bumpers have a dull scraped look that won't polish up"

"black trim around windows fading"

"Paint began peeling & fading 2-3 years ago, has accelerated in past year, especially on roof and hood"

"Serious rust driver side door. Worst I've ever had on vehicle this age. Rust beginning on roof above windshield"

"Rust around 1/3 of read hatch window"

"Took 2-3 visits to local mechanic to resolved issue with check engine light."

"Refusal to shift into 4th gear caused by faile sensors. Some might have believed this to be a transmission problem, but when the sensors were replaced, the drivability problems disappeared"

"135000 miles, O2 sensors need to be replaced. Check engine light is on"

"Check engine light comes on every couple of months sometimes it needs a sensor replaced and sometimes it just needs to be reset"

"ICON GOES ON FOR A FEW DAYS AND GOES OFF FOR A FEW DAYS"

"replaced all 4 Oxygen sensors when it was about 6 years old and now again they are causing my engine lights to keep going on, so I replaced I think only 1 about 2 weeks ago and my engine light keeps coming on also sometimes the highlander is blowin"

"I have had to replace three different sensors which have all been expensive and the check engine light is back on again"

"O2 sensor and engine light always on. Haven't had fixed yet"

"I own a shop so we welded in a new pipe section behind the rear-most Catalytic Converter"

"pin whole, repaired twice, then replace part of exhaust pipe"

"Flex pipe needed to be replaced"

"Exhaust manifold rust through fixed for $ 250. Not bad after 17 years, in fact it is great."

"It seems to be incredibly EXPENSIVE to repair."

"exhaust pipe rusted out & oxygen sensor was exposed"

"the exhaust pipes and catalytic converter were cracking at the welds and connection points and needed replacement along with the oxygen sensor that monitors it. Cost was $1800 to repair"

"The vehicle is 20 years old, replacing a 20 year exhaust pipe is normal tear and wear. I dont consider it a problem."

"Have minor but annoying engine oil leak which leaves a stain on my garage floor."

"the engine cover rubber gasket dried after 16 years. pretty good, more than expected. I would consider this wear and tear maintenance not a defect."

"Had to have rear main seal, valve cover gaskets and lower and upper oil pan seal replaced at a cost of $2000"

"Suddenly started burning 1l of oil per 500 to 1000 km of driving, mostly at higher speed"

"Rear Main Seal had to be replaced"

"We've been told there's a crack in the engine, which is why it's burning oil so much. Have to put oil in it every month. Been told days are numbered and option is either new or used replacement engine or buy a new car"

"For the first time I've owned a Toyota, I'm using oil much more than ever. It goes into the shop this week"

"One rear tail light not working. Replaced by authorized mechanic"

"rear tail light would burn out frequently. Replaced wiring"

"Rear rt. brake light intermittently goes off..socket needs to be tightened"

"Gear indicator lights on shift console constantly going dead"

"ceiling light fixture will not hold a bulb"

"Engine warning lite always on...even after previous replacement of oxygen sensor"

"suspect a screw came off from air conditioning air outlet direction control behind panel"

"noise and fan rattles when ac or heat turned on"

"The loud wind noise is coming from the windshield. I had it replaced and the noise may be due to the replacement windshield rather than the car's original windshield."

"Replaced both front door weather seals under warrantee"

"Air noise around drivers door while traveling greater than 70 miles per hour"

"battery went bad. replaced it and solved the problem."

"Engine started missing and would not accelerate to higher speed.Had problem once before and knew what was happening and needed to get to my mechanics shop right away or risk damage to the engine. Was same as first time 3 years ago with the coils2 and 3.This time 4 and 5 was problem. Shop has repaired and will have the 2 remaining coils replaced at later time. Working on this the harness was replaced as was worn badly. As was a sensor needed replaced too."

"These were replaced same time as the coils were replaced"

"about 1 month ago sunroof suddenly stopped opening; makes noise but does not move -- sounds like latch does not release"

"The control switch on the driver door quit working for the back right passenger window. I put the window down and then couldn't get it up again with the same driver switch. The estimate for repair was thousands of dollars! More than the car is worth!"

"Right side windows will not go back up once let down. Must wait and they will eventually go back up after many attempts or we must assist by pulling while press the up control"

"the cd changer stopped working. Seems to be a common problem with this unit"
