Issue ID	908213
Internal NHTSA #	10449025
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	HIGHLANDER
Model Year	2006
File date	03/02/12
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Coolant leaked from engine onto floor in large amounts. Our mechanic said threads were stripped and head gasket bolts had pulled out. Only solution, new engine or possible rebuild by toyota dealership. We were under 60,000 mile warranty but over 60 months. Toyota refused to help us. Sadly i've been changing my own oil and didn't keep all receipts for a maintenance record. Lesson learned. Toyota dealership offered new engine for $7,300 or rebuild for $4,600. We had non-toyota mechanic rebuild threads for $2,300. Car works fine now. Way more money than we expected to spend on a toyota with under 60,000 miles.
