2009 Toyota Highlander SUV Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
Don't by Toyota
 At 20,000 km a Whirring sound came from the front right of the Highlander. 2 dealerships say it is unfixable and I quote : to give the vehicles strong gears the downside is at 80 km Toyotas will make a very annoying  sound but YOU"LL just have to live with it because there is nothing we can do" end of quote.  Unbelievable! The sound will drive you  nuts and they cannot fix it,, they said it is in MOST all their vehicles and if they replace the problem which they agree there is, it will just come back because that is the design of th e gear box! Customers, I kid you not, $50,000 for a vehicle like this and even Toyota Canada gives me the Slough off !
