Transmission issues

8 speed transmission has issues, when slowing down below 10 mph and the accelerating transmission jumps, lurches and hesitates. Toyota is aware of issue. Will be taking it in. They had a class action suit on the RAV4 8 speed transmissions with same issue. Would not buy one until they resolve issue.

Love everything about our car

My only complaint is the drivers side view mirror seems to be in my way making any kind of left turn. Very comfortable and plenty of room for two old people.

Love it!

Even though I really wanted my car to have more tech, I am extremely happy with it. This is a beautiful truck that has enough space and is super comfortable.

It’s 2 days old but I love her already

I have owned the Highlander twice before. I just love them and have every hope this new one will be with me for years to come. Nice feeling.

Very nice car!

We are really enjoying the car. Lots of features and a very smooth ride. Looking forward the quality and dependability of the Toyota product. Would highly recommend the dealership and salesman.

Great car!

Took the 2019 Highlander SE for a test drive. Cabin was quiet, met most of my wants except for a heated steering wheel and remote start. Seriously, with the winter weather Ohio experiences, one would think remote start would be an option. Took the weekend to think whether or not I will purchase the vehicle. I probably will and get an after market remote installed. I was quoted around $300, so not too bad. The interior is sharp and the sporty look of exterior pulls the Highlander together. The price is right for the safety features included, much more reasonable than other similar SUVs.

Most reliable vehicle I ever owned!

This vehicle met all my needs, wants and then some. Great features like phone, iPad, etc charging. Love the automatic high beams. AWD is great. Lane departure and backup camera are more things to love about this vehicle. The separate temp controls for Driver/Passenger are great. Very roomy for first and second row seating. Also very comfortable seats all around.
