I have had 4runners for years. I had one for 350,000 miles and engine and transmission both ok....rust, emission controls issue is only reason I got rid of it. I had a1996 ford mustang GT convertible 5 speed that had a 5 speed borg-warner transmission FAILED yes 5-speed after 12K miles. Ford overnighted a new one. Now granted it was under warranty but read the issues of 2021 Highlander transmission failures under warranty.
This will become huge issue for Toyota. YOU cannot get a new one. Hard to get parts to rebuild one.
LKQ is the only game in town!
I still have Camry with over 200K and a lot of rust.
Time to look elsewhere for a car with a 3rd row seat.
Between the rusted out frames of the early 2000s and shocking failure rate of the current highlander transmissions the Toyota company is getting a bad reputation.
