Toyota Highlander

"Driver's side glass separates from back vertical channel slightly when lowering"

"Mouse damage"

"The seal on the sunroof has had to be replaced twice in 4 years at a huge cost. problem caused water to enter the car every time it rained and the front seats and carpet were soaked every time. Hugely expensive to fix."

"The rt side CV joint was starting to seep oil."

"Drive shaft bearings worn (very stiff). Bearings are not able to be replaced; entire drive shaft was replaced."

""Car stopped running, taken to dealer who replaced fuses. Stopped running again, taken back to Toyota dealer who said they could not get it to start without disconnecting the auto rear-view mirror. They could not diagnose the problem. It could fail again anytime. Other issues with vehicle made it not drivable, so it sat for over a year. It also lost all it's oil with an oil-cooler pipe issue, dealer said Toyota used to replace those pipes with metal ones but that offer expired. The vehicle ran with no oil and may need new engine. This Toyota also has a back auto-deck problem, it stopped working. Car is a disaster, awful especially for a highly-rated Toyota Highlander. It is not running right now and must be towed to the dealer, again.""

""The parts on the A/C fell off and the A/C stopped working. Dealer had to replace the whole system at our expense. They said a part had not be put on correctly on a previous repair but that was a guess, it had no previous A/C repairs during the time we had it or in the records of the former owner. This car was treated gently and had all maintenance but still one problem after another. We understood later that Toyota had a TSB on both the oil-cooler busting and leaving the car with no oil, and the power deck not opening. These problems have not been resolved. The offer to fix for free has expired, but we were never told of the issues needing repair until the car did the tricks and we had to tow it to the dealer. Then they told us it was too bad we didn't know, but now the offer from Toyota to fix for no cost to us was "expired." We would not buy another Highlander. Our other Toyota vehicles have been excellent though, strangely, only the Highlander has bad issues.""
