Complaint Summary

POWER TRAIN

Owner Narrative

The transmission on the 2021 Toyota Highlander failed at only 5 1/2 years old (66,000 miles). This is a known issue from Toyota and they should be held responsible to cover items just barely out of warranty for well maintained vehicles.

Owner-submitted narrative on file with NHTSA. Complaint narratives are self-reported and have not been verified.
