2002 Toyota Highlander review from North America
"Toyota quality and reliability is a myth"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At least 5 different mechanics, including a Toyota dealer, cannot figure out why there is a smell of raw gas in the car when it idles.
Over $7000 worth of repairs made in the past two years (transmission, front end, various engine issues).
General comments?
This is my wife's car and she has driven it since new. I have also driven my 2003 Trailblazer since new, and it has been trouble free over the same mileage.
