Drivers side mirror vibration issue

The drivers side mirror has a bad vibration especially when traveling at higher speeds so much that it makes distinguishing images difficult. I feel this is a definite safety concern. After review by the dealer and regional field rep, Toyota says this is 'normal for this model'. While it may be present in all similar vehicles, this is not NORMAL.....They are not going to address further. We may be forced to loo look into the Lemon Laws.

Great Family (of 4) Vehicle

2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Three sets of observations. First 1,400 miles of city and highway driving has been on my own, a few hundred miles with 2 and 4 people (and one dog). The Highlander replaced a 2012 Outback and the increase in tech these last 10 years is stunning but that is true for any 2022 model. What really impresses is the quiet comfort, almost luxury feel of the XLE and all while getting 42 mpg. Now, I am trying to maximize my mpg, and watch my driving so the 'EV' light comes on as much as possible. So, that is not going to be a common experience. Second, the next 1,500 miles were 3 adults, two children with car seats and one canine from CT to Chicago. Had a rooftop carrier for much of our stuff. Third row barely usable – check out car seat anchors if you plan to use that third row. The Highlander is great for 4 people, more than that on a trip will simply be a terrible experience. I did not reset MPG for the trip so unsure of that figure. Third, two adults, 3 dogs and a kayak from western CT to western Maine, about 390 miles each way. No hypermiling and got 34.6 MPG, very impressive given hills, AC, etc. With third row folded flat we were able to pack for an 8-day trip for the 2 of us. Would buy again - but if we needed to haul more than 4 people would go to the Sienna.

Great SUV

2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid LE 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
12 of 13 people found this review helpful

The build quality on this vehicle is great. Got the LE trim model and has all the options I need. Fuel economy has been great. Consistently around 37mpg. Checked display against miles driven and gallons used. Virtually every time the mpg was the same between the two. Plenty of acceleration for my driving needs. Engine might be considered noisy but you really have to step on it to make noise. Otherwise a very quiet car. Had to change my acceleration habits to get the fuel economy. But when I looked at others accelerating around me, I was keeping up or going faster. So for me it was great. 3rd seat has no room for adults as others have stated. We never use it and have it laying flat for more cargo space. Got the cargo cover and net across back of cargo area. These are really needed for security and so items will not drop out on your foot. Should come with the vehicle. No lumbar adjustment on driver's seat which is not good. Maybe higher trim models have that option. For a family ok vehicle. For just 2 people with some adults sitting in back at times, a perfect vehicle.

Very Impressive Vehicle

2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

We love our Toyota Highlander Platinum Hybrid and the Platinum comes with all the options, bells and whistles you could possibly want or need. The Hybrid has all the power we need and great fuel mileage. Love the safety features and the birds eye view camera. The 12.3" screen is fantastic. We're still learning how great this vehicle is but really love it.

Total Disappointment

The driver side seat kept coming apart and the passenger side seat did also once, so I traded it for a 4Runner Limited and it was a wise choice.
