 Dt*: the contact stated since purchase of the vehicle the dashboard panel was black during the day. shining a flash light on the dash is the only way the dashboard gauges can be seen. the gauges are not digital. the dealership determined the dashboard panel was not able to be read but this is how the vehicle was made. the dashboard worked properly at night.*ak updated 01/25/06. *jb

 I have just purchased a 2005 toyota highlander limited. i find that in the bright florida sunshine, the instrument cluster (speedometer etc.) is so deeply recessed into the dash, they are dark and impossible to read -- especially with sun glasses. this is rather disconcerting when i cannot see/read the speedometer! i have reported this to toyota but they have not responded to date.*ak

 My 2005 limited edition toyota highlander has multiple issues. the right caliber is sticking, which has caused heat and warping in the hub system and affected the abs sensor. these will both need to be replaced at a cost of over $1000. the front struts are leaking. the largest problem is with the transmission which has some type of interior problem. it is suggested that i replace the transmission. the cost to repair this, based on what the toyota shop said was $3400-$4600. my car has about 94,000 miles on it. the brake issues with the caliber, roters, and hub system will get replaced next week. the transmission repair will not be repaired at this time unless the toyota goodwill petition goes through. the cost is too great.
