| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2009 toyota highlander in october 29, 2013. Everything was fine,then started having problems with window on the driver's side, it kept going off line, so i rolled up the window and didn't use it until i was able to go for service. I took it in to be service in april /may 2013 for a oil change and etc. I told the guy in the service department what was wrong and he said he would check it for me. After servicing the suv, he told me it would cost $ 400. 00 plus dollars to fix. I had the car less than 6months. He told me there was a piece that was broken due to resting the arm on the glass and he had to replace the piece and the glass. It's fine one minute and then the next it's off the tract. So i told the service guy to unplug it. I 'm not tall enough to rest my arm on the glass to break anything. I'm the only one that drives this car. I truly believe this part/piece was already broken when i purchase this vehicle, but i can't prove it. I don't have $ 400. 00 dollars in my budget plus monthly bill. Help! |
