| Description of the problem | We bought our highlander just over a year ago and we have to constantly put oil into vehicle. It only has 80,000 on it, and we have to put about a liter of oil into it every other week. The manufacturer of our area checked it twice, and determined that we need another engine, but the cost was around $7000 in canadian that engine would come from japan, and it would be a used one, and would only warranty that for 1 year. Then what am completely disgusted!! We plan on getting rid of this thing as fast as possible and will never buy another toyota again.. Do yourselves a favor and tell people about this so no one goes this .*ak |
