And what year, make, model, and if purchased new, if you have not already. Because it sounds like you had a missed opportunity to invoke WA lemon law.https://www.atg.wa.gov/lemon-law-0Oh, and do you have any personal experience with the Highlander you would like to share with the OP?Do you know what a recall is?Sorry OP but I promised Toyota when they blatantly screwed me on the reimbursement with a full set receipts that I would tell this story and they basically said ‘There are so so many Koolaid Fanboys we’ll still sell this crap’.Thinkingman, you’re probably not changing any minds here. I don't know. Maybe he can tell us what recall is. Bonus points if he can explain how only Toyota has them.A recall is one guy in Washington that realizes Toyota Tacomas are pathetic excuses for trucks then the NHTSA somehow hears about it and forces Toyota to offer a replacement for all vehicles within a certain range of production, while everyone else talks about how amazing they are.Same for the FRAMES THAT LITERALLY RUST IN TWO WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING.Amazing trucks as long as you don't need leaf springs that actually do their job or a frame that actually does it's job.Floundr--What color is that Koolaid?My 2015 F150 has 110k miles, drives like new. has twice the power and more than twice the capacity of the Tacoma it replaced, has needed nothing other than maintenance and wear parts.Same mileage as the Toy it replaced. Every single part is higher quality in the Ford...Better upholstery and carpet, better electrical components, better execution and engineering.Modern execution instead of barely warmed over crap that the Koolaid Fanboys will still buy.Recall notice for rear door locks freezing, not frame rusting in two or leaf springs that fail spectacularly.

Here’s a recall for Thinkingmans rig, no big deal, nobody cares about steering linkages coming loose causing loss of steering control. Funny he didn’t mention this one, only door locks freezing. What about the seatbelts?Recall Number15V279000Recall Date05/12/2015ComponentSTEERINGSummaryFord Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2015 Ford F-150 trucks manufactured March 19, 2015, to March 30, 2015. The affected vehicles may have been built with a steering upper intermediate shaft that was improperly riveted.ConsequenceIf the intermediate shaft was improperly riveted, it could separate from the intermediate shaft flex coupling, resulting in a loss of steering control and increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.What Owners Should DoFord will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the intermediate shaft and replace it, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 22, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S17.See more here.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwid2LDUpqvvAhWFsp4KHRHODAMQFjAAegQIARAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cars.com%2Fresearch%2Fford-f_150-2015%2Frecalls%2F&usg=AOvVaw1TivmRPCm7C96UDTaoZC-0Sorry to OP that this thread has gone sideways. You will love the Highlander, it’s reliability and it’s resale value if you ever want a newer one down the road.
