Bought a Limited Platinum 2014 highlander which now has a bit over 4,000 miles on it. It started making a "bump bump" sound when braking...sounds like something is rolling around in a truck, except there is no trunk! And, nothing at all 2nd and 3rd row seating except seats! Took it into to Toyota to get the noise fixed...and they heard it, checked it out for a couple of day. The final response we received from Toyota Corporate was keep driving it until they had enough complaints to recall or more thoroughly investigate it. That is not the espouse you want when you pay almost 50k on a new vehicle! If your vehicle has the same issue, please respond...
Platinum Is Golden!

I got the Limited Platinum about 10 days ago. All I can say is wow. I love the sharper looking exterior except the front grille, but it is growing on me. The interior is gorgeous and plush. I finally got the almond leather interior after many years not having it and I love the contrast of colors. It is a sharper driving vehicle than the 2011 Limited that I traded in. Better feel of the road and handling. The new 6 speed automatic is very encouraging so far as far as gas mileage. Seems better than the 2011 and it is brand new with very little mileage so the mileage should actually get better after I drive it a few thousand miles! Puts a smile on my face even more than the 2011 did.

I have owned both a BMW x3 and a Honda Pilot SUV's and now owned a 2014 Toyota Highlander Limited. Although my previous SUV's were good, this Toyota SUV has surpassed my highest expectations.If you are looking for a smooth ride, elegant interior, and decent towing capability SUV to drive your family around in, take a look into the all-new 2014 Toyota Highlander, you will find it hard to beat.

I've owned the AWD Limited Platinum for over 6 months and couldn't be much happier with it. I test drove and researched many competitors, but it came down to this and the Acura MDX (AWD base). They were both around the same price, but of course you get all the bells and whistles with the Toyota, and I am so glad I did. Also, I actually preferred the ride and steering over the Acura. The steering feel is excellent...nice and tight. At the same time the ride is extremely smooth so you really get the best of both worlds. So even with the base V6 you will still enjoy the great ride. I highly recommend this vehicle.
My first "Little" SUV- Still Happy 8 years later!

2024 Update- now at almost 170k- Passed inspection needing nothing! Only two annoying things, one back tail light allows water to seep in, apparently an “known Toyota issue “ that they have not fixed for years. Water pools in the housing after a big rain or car wash. Recommendation to drill an “weep hole” in housing which is BS. The other- TPS (Tire Pressure Sensors) keep failing, first it was the main one controlling all 4- $600, now the front passenger tire pressure sensor is bad. Yellow warning light stays on permanently, plus why did Toyota not at least tell you which tire was low? My daughter's cheap ass Altima shows 4 individual readings, not my SUV! Update 2022-now at 130K no major issues. Replaced the main tire pressure sensor at 110K. Same tires now at about 60K miles (Goodyear Advantage)- One wheel/tire loses pressure when weather gets cold. Longtime behemoth SUV driver (10 years with a GMC Yukon) wanted to get something better to commute downtown with. This has been a really good choice so far. Purchased used at 10K miles for $$40K, have put another 70K on it without one repair, except for the electronics reset that was done for free the week I purchased it. Apparently sometimes the electronics package freezes up, preventing radio/ Nav/ Blue tooth from operating correctly. Once the dealer reset me to factory original, it has worked flawlessly. My only complaint about this and just about all other foreign made SUV's is legroom for the driver. There is a bump up step on the left that requires the driver to place their left foot on this raised platform. Probably as these vehicles are about a foot shorter than the gas guzzling American beasts, the engine compartment gets built into the cab a bit. I have back issues and feel better if my legs get to stretch, so long distance driving fatigues me more with this vehicle than my Yukon did. Also the leather seats are just not as plush as my old SUV. Only 1 issue in 4 years, the cabin filter requires you to remove the glovebox door, and in doing so one of the hinges broke loose. Still works but you have to open it gingerly or the door comes loose. UPDATE: Replaced a Yukon as I wanted an SUV only smaller and better on gas mileage. Getting 20-22 MPG vs 16 but even though I got the Limited model and bought it as a 2 yr old certified used with 14k on it, besides leather and a nice monitor in dash, it’s nowhere near as plush. The ride is still smooth at 120k miles and no major breakdowns so far. Tire pressure sensor went out and that’s the most costly non maintenance repair so far. Good vehicle, I would purchase again.
