Description of the problem	There are two issues with my 2011 highlander. I purchased this vehicle 1 year ago and am quite upset about the issues and the money that i need to put into it. I am actually looking into trading this vehicle as, after spending 26k on it, i shouldn't be dealing with or paying for these issues. Toyota has been nonexistent in offering remedies. I have only ever owned toyotas (2 camrys and 1 highlander) and probably will never own one again. Thanks toyota!!! - the alarm constantly goes off for no apparent reason. I am unable to lock the doors on the vehicle otherwise the alarm will go off every 30 minutes to 1 hour. Toyota wants to charge $130 just to look at the vehicle. This is a known issue that presents itself in every toyota forum. There should be a recall on this. - the bolts that connect the window to the contraption that rolls up and down the window all have fallen off. This cost me 150 to fix on just one window. The bolts loosen by themselves and fall off. This too has been listed on many toyota forums and should have a recall.
