I bought a Highlander because of all the good reviews I saw. I found a used one in good shape, no rust. Five month later, it started losing coolant but there was no visible puddle. It never overheated so I was sure it was a small leak. Soon it started blowing coolant out of the overflow tank all over the engine. I brought it to the garage to be told it was a blown head gasket and that they wouldn't touch it and had to go to a dealer. I found a garage who would fix it but they were unable to repair it because the head bolt was stripped. They ended up having to find a replacement engine with low mileage. It runs well so far but afraid of what's going to happen when this engine gets up higher mileage. Toyota is aware of this problem and it is not nice of them to not have a recall or repair for this.
