THE CAR DEFINITELY HAS WIND NOISE ISSUES, MAY BE THE OVERSIZED SIDE MIRRORS.

Did not initially believe the wind noise was more than just door molding issue. Appears the mirror design is causing the wind noise issue. Toyota Master mechanic rode with me and verified the mirrors are cause and that Toyota did design in some improvements in 15 model but not enough to alleviate the problem. I hope to see a TSB sent from Toyota soon to replace the mirrors.

I had a 2011 Highlander that was great. Just bought the new 2015 Highlander back in the fall and right away above 25mph I noticed bad wind noise coming in at the driver side window/mirror area. I took the car back to the Toyota dealer in Asheboro but they basically said this is just the way the car is made. Great car other than terrible wind noise.

Just bought the 2015 Highlander LE Plus AWD with V6 engine. It is a pleasure to drive BUT there is lot of wind noise when driving above 60 mph. Even my 10-yr old Honda Accord does not have this much noise. I took it to Toyota dealership. They said to bring the car in after two weeks then they will compare with another car and see. I am miffed. A search on web shows many complaints on this issue. Wish I had known it before. Toyota should definitely issue a TSB

Everything else feels good, except excessive wind noise. I traded in my 2012 Highlander Limited for the XLE AWD. I noticed the wind noise significantly louder than my 2012 Limited, to a point of annoying. Will contact dealer soon.

When we bought the car it was nice and quiet that the person we are talking to over the phone did not even realize we are on the road. But after a few months we started to hear wind noise where even the person we have over the phone gets annoys with the noise and ask us what the heck we are doing. This is the first time I've taken the car to the dealer. they told me yesterday that the car sounds the same. so today i am riding with the foreman to point out the problem. However, i highly doubt that they will do something about it.
