| Description of the problem | My 2012 toyota highlander started making popping noises when turning right in june 2019, less than 100 thousand miles. This month october 2019, just rolled over to 100,000 and the popping has gotten worse(louder) and now pops when turning left and right. We never thought toyota would never stand behind a car with such a safety issue. Nothing has happened yet! But if something does, guaranteed my children will not stop until something has appropriately been done.. |
