| Description of the problem | I bought my highlander used in march 2016. The car has had the clunking noise since i bought it but i didn't know it was a known issue with toyota. I bought an extended warranty but of course it doesn't cover the defect. I am very upset because i have paid for a warranty that doesn't fix what is wrong with the car. I also feel like it falls on the dealership and they should have fixed it before selling. Even though it is not considered a safety issue i don't want it to become a safety issue in the future. I don't feel like i should have to come out of pocket $650 to fix an issue that is known with the manufacturer. |
