We live on Vancouver Island and were on our way to Everett, Wa. when the engine light came on and temp gauge shot up. Pulled over, opened hood and that's when our nightmare
began. Managed to drive it to a Toyota dealer in Everett.Right off the bat they told us we needed a new engine. We had to have it trailered back to Canada where mechanics found stripped engine bolts. We bought our Highlander new and religiously kept up our maintenance and were stunned to find out that the problem with our Highlander is not unique..in fact is typical to this year yet Toyota has not issued a recall.This is a vehicle I bought because I've always driven a Toyota and trusted that this model would be a safe choice for my family...I'm not sure I'll ever trust a Toyota again!!
