Description of the problem	A 2004 toyota highlander signal light (safety item) is malfunctioning and when i took it to toyota dealer (darcars), i was told i have to change the navigation system (luxury item) which currently is working. I have no idea why they had to integrate these two functions when one is a safety and the other one is luxury items. Besides, it costs $6000 + labor + tax to change the navigation system. After intensive search on the internet i found out that toyota knows about the problem except they only cover the problem under the 36,000mile/3 year warranty. If this was a mileage related problem, i can understand even if two none related functions are interlocked, but this has nothing to do with mileage and we cannot drive without a signal light but we can without a navigation system. This problem started a month ago and i have tried to get a response from toyota and they are not giving me any response regarding this mater.
