Dissapointed

We purchased the Highlander because of is reputation as a reliable , quality car. Around 1600 miles the car would not move even though the engine ran (Stopped at a stoplight). Had it towed and two service departments later nothing could be determined wrong. Has not occurred again as current mileage is near 7000 miles. Now there is an intermittent (whine while accelerating). I have owned may cars over the years can only relate the whine to the sound of my dads 36 ford pickup in compound low which none of you even know what I mean! The day before my service, the whine was very evident but not present when I had it service yesterday.

Dissapointed

In the transmission started to make a whining sound intermittently and became consistent and loud around 8000 miles the transmission was replaced. Even though a technician had diagnosed the problem, it took Toyota 3 hours to authorize the repair and give me a rental car! An unexplained stall had to be towed but Toyota could not find anything wrong. Engine ran but car would not move. Called Toyota and it took 2 hours and 15 minutes for the tow truck to arrive! And an oil leak after the transmission was replaced. I do not tolerate cars that leak oil. I am 76 years old and have purchased countless new cars and the only other trans million failure was an 1985 Chevrolet. Have not bought one since.

2017 Highlander XLE Slug

Compared to my 2015 Highlander Limited the 2017 XLE is loud, drives like a slug and has the little upgrades like seat position memory removed. It's not as an aggressive, luxury car. I had to downgrade to save on my lease payment and by doing so it was cut in half. Was it worth it? Probably. I miss my 2013 Highlander the most. The 2015 redesign of all Highlander's was awful.

I would not buy it again

Purchased new in October 2017. At 2327 miles car would not move when attempting to accelerate from a stop at a signal light. I stopped the engine, restarted the car and it still would not move. Called Toyota care to have it towed. Was told that would only authorize towing 12 miles and the tow truck would be there in 2 hours. I made a second call and was told the tow truck was on its way. It showed up well past 2 hours! Fortunately there was a dealer close enough. Dealer could not find anything wrong. Toyota suggested I take it to the dealer where purchased which I did with the same result. On June 13,2018 I had the second service requested by the dealer. The service was fine. When I looked at my service notes I noticed the rear brake pads were measured 9 millimeters and the front pads were measured at 11 mm. Never owned a car where the rear brake pads wear more then the front. Called the service advisor and he asked if I had been towing any thing or hauling heave loads. I had done neither. Now at 8068 miles the transmission has been replaced after several months of intermittent "whining" which finally became loud and consistent .

It's Toyota (good) but has a few fails (bad)

We are Toyota people (7 to date) and love their reliability and value over the long haul. This '17 Highlander is no exception in that regard, but it does fail in a few areas. 1. Factory tires were "fuel efficient" Bridgestone models: 3 blowouts for no good reason in the first 9 months. Total crap. 2. My wife and I are both tall. Love the headroom but the seat contours and head restraints are poor for us. Be careful when test driving. 3. Speedometer KPH numerals are dark blue on black and impossible to read. We drive to Canada regularly and this is a problem, but it is helpful for keeping up your mental math skills converting MPH to KPH!

Toyota Highlander setting the bar to the next level!

The new Toyota Highlander is packed full of creature comforts and safety features. The fit and finish is top notch and it shows in every aspect of the SUV.

Purchasing a new Highlander

I bought the Highlander for the practicality it promised. The fact that it was reviewed as one of the most reliable suv's on the market was a major value for me. The 8 speed transmission, size of car and engine separated it from the other suv's I drove. I need a suv that can do snow, tow, haul bicycles, and move people comfortably. So far it has performed as well as I expected. Even though it was not crucial in my decision the interior roominess and total car styling was also pleasing. I have yet to determine the mpg so there is another judgement to be made.

2017 Toyota Highlander - Stylish and very functional.

The Toyota Highlander is finally the SUV that we feel gives us plenty of room, is quite comfortable to drive and is a very good looking vehicle.

Perfect Vehicle!!

All around perfect ride, quiet, luxurious, spacious and comfortable. So many safety features with my XLE, I wish I would have purchased sooner. Not to mention, it's stylish. New color choice combinations make the vehicle more unique. I don't have anything negative to say about this ride.
