Description of the problem	My transmission has failed on my toyota 2005 highlander after 96,000 miles. I have read other consumer complaints and i am convinced there is a serious problem with the2005 toyota highlander hybrid transmission. I spoke to toyota and they advised me to take my car to the dealership. I was told that the transmission had to be replaced and that it would cost $5060,00 to replace. Toyota offered me . 10% off the cost of repairs. I was shocked as i have only owned the vehicle for 15 months and have a 4 year note. I am very fortunate that i did not have a horrible accident as i was coming down a very steep incline on the highway when the transmission began to fail. I am forced to repair the vehicle as i am not in the position to purchase another vehicle. I would like for the nhtsa to look into this issue further.
