| 2007 toyota highlander hybrid with 45,000 mile on it. unprotected air conditioning condenser damaged by road debris - cost me $1300 to fix at dealer. i found other highlander owners on internet with identical problem. also appears to be problem on toyota corolla (toyota issued tsb ac002-06 on this). clearly defective design - absolutely no protection in front of a/c condenser which is mounted very low with big open holes in shroud in front of it. almost forms a funnel for collecting rocks, broken tire chunk's, etc. from roadways and having this debris puncture air conditioning condenser. complained to toyota customer service. response abysmal. and we were a toyota family - currently own two other toyotas. shame on toyota. *tr | |||

| I have a 2007 toyota highlander that had mat entrapment--i had after market mats as none were given to me when i bought the vehicle--i reported this to toyota corporation and had vehicle inspected at dealership and rep said there was no defect in my accelerator--the vehicle had accelerated and i hit a picnic table and 2 bird feeder and a fence in my yard before i got the vehicle to stop. i would like to know what is different about my accelerator as the 2007 is not on recall but i feel it should be--they did not explain that to me just told me that my floor mat caused this to happen--i realize that but i would like an answer to my question--i blew a michelin tire and have damage to my bumper--total cost--about $600 according to toyota garage--no answer from them except to say this was my fault. *tr | |||
