After purchasing this vehicle At a cost of $43,000, I noticed the wheels seemed to began pitting. I take it to the car wash every two weeks. At 2,000 miles I complained about the wheels. I was told they are ChromeTech wheels. I complained numerous times to the dealership. The dealership, Vero Beach Toyota, FL, had them checked by the regional inspector who deemed the cause is environmental. I live less than 1 mile and on off the same road where the dealership is. Corporate Toyota sent me to the next closest dealership who agreed it is caused by the enviorment. Corporate offered me $750 dollars toward the replacement of the wheeLs. The total cost for four new wheels was $3,000. Needless to say, at 80 years old I cannot afford to replace the wheels. What good is a warranty when you purchase a vehicle if the dealership decides it is not Defective? I live in an over 55 community and do not drive very far. I have a Stella driving record. i have never had an accident, hit curbs, etc. I am truly so disappointed in Toyota.

So glad I jumped into a Highlander instead of the Explorer or waiting for the 2016 Pilot. Versus the Explorer, it simply came down to reliability. I mean, how many Toyotas do you see broken down on the side of the road versus the Fords? And after just seeing the 2016 Pilot pictures, it solidified my feelings. I get many compliments on how much it looks like a Lexus and it is truly a joy to drive. Not too bulky in city driving/parking either. Having 2 kids (ages 9 and 6) there's plenty of room to spread out for them with the 3rd row. If i had to pick an issue, it bothers me that Toyota charges extra for Blizzard White. All considered, you can't go wrong with a 2015 Highlander.

Overall, I like my Toyota Highlander. I will say that when I purchased the vehicle on the lot I was a little disappointed in the fact that I had to buy the BASE model in order to get the bench in the middle row. However, I needed that one extra seat. And unfortunately, the base model didn't offer factory leather seating according to my dealership. Cloth seats are NOT ideal for people with children. That being said, my husband and I just agreed that once we got tired of the need to constantly clean the seats or fed up with how bad they look, then we would pay $2000 to a local company to transition all seating in the car to leather. While I will do this, I still know that there is nothing better than the factory installing the leather. I'm sure I will run into problems along the way. This complaint is simply a cosmetic issue. However, I have discovered a real safety concern over the past 16 months that I've had my Highlander. On 3 separate occasions, I missed an accident by a mere second -- literally. I am only 5'1" tall, and unfortunately the way that the BULKY side mirrors are it creates a MAJOR blind spot for me in the front of my car when making turns based on my height in the seat. At first I fooled around with the seat adjustments to try to figure out how to raise the seats, and couldn't figure it out. Finally, when I brought it to the dealership for an oil change, I told the service man that if they couldn't figure out how to raise my seat for me, then I was probably going to have to sell the car. I have 3 children that I drive in that car every day and I simply couldn't continue to take the risk. Fortunately, he showed me that one of the seat adjustment buttons actually allowed the seat to go front to back AND up and down. So, I was able to get a little more height in the seat. And it is helping a little. But the judgement is still out because we just figured this out two weeks ago. Honestly, if I have one more scare with this. I will sell the car. Of course, some might say just put a seat cushion to help lift you up. However, when I paid over $30,000 for a car, I don't think that I should have to use a $10 seat cushion to make it safe. I think it also doesn't help that the side line of the windshield is bulky as well.....adding to the issue of blocking the view of cars that are literally in front but to the side of you on the driver side. I have literally watched cars coming at me from a distance and watched how at a certain point they simply DISAPPEAR from my view completely for a second. I am a very conscientious and defensive driver. I have had many cars over the years, and have NEVER experience a blind spot in the front side of my car. My only other complaint is that I don't find that the AC blows extremely cold air. It never really has from the beginning. If I end up having to get rid of the car, it will be a shame because overall I like the car. I hope Toyota does something to redesign for future models.

Very poor seat paddings very uncomfortable. Radio and navigation keeps resetting or flickering. Doors will not lock cause vehicle shows key is inside which is not. This car has many electrical issues. Spots like rust showing all over the vehicle. The cause of the flickering, electrical issues was the portable external battery plugged into the usb. When the engine is off the external battery is sending electric current back to the vehicle main board to make it go crazy. That issue was solved by myself and didn’t lose any money. But the seating comfortability is not solved. It would be nice if toyota would add an arm rest on the front seats on every family car. After 140k the passenger heated seat is dead. Stock Rims are not good for dirt roads. They collect a lot of mud and throws off the balance. All white highlander has bad paints. Tiny rust dots will pop up everywhere around the body. Abs, awd lights came on. Found out the Reluctor ring broke and had to replace the whole axle assembly.

We are owners of a 2001 Sequoia. Since we don't need a vehicle that large any longer we decided to downsize to the Highlander. We obviously got a smaller vehicle but we still have the great Toyota design and quality. We purchased the car about 3 weeks ago and just took a road trip in it. Highway driving was a breeze. The quiet smooth ride was wonderful. The interior of the car is beautiful and comfortable. Obviously the 2015 Highlander has many more options than a 2001 Sequoia did. Bluetooth, controls on the wheel and the lane alert is great. There are plenty of USB ports and outlets for your electronics. All and all we are pleased with our decision to stay with Toyota. The 2001 Sequoia is still ours too! You can't beat Toyota for quality. Absolutely no complaints about this vehicle.
