This occurs or is most noticeable at slow speeds when the gas pedal is pushed after having slowed down or in the midst of a turn into a parking spot. Wife has also complained about transmissionnot engaging into gear when car is first started up acts like you didn't shift it into gear. We have also noted transmission doesn't always seem to disengage when slowing from highway speeds 55 mph.feels like it is dragging car to stop. There is a noticeable whine between 55 - 62 mph. Talked to dealer mechanic and he said that was normal everything is controlled by computers. We are going to take it back in this week and complain about the transmission slippage.we have also had a issue with the toyo tires. At 28,345 they were down to 5/32 to 4/32. They have major problems in snow and heavy rain with loss of traction. When esc kicks on in the snow on a turn do to sliding at slow speed it makes matters worse be better off with it turned off.
The 245-55x19 toyo open country a20 tires toyota specs on highlander limited models are utterly treacherous on ice or snow.edmunds.com documents a huge number of winter traction complaints under used cars> toyota> 2008> highlander limited> customer comments.in my own case, starting under 15 mmph i slid under 8 lanes of interstate viaduct, anti-lock brakes pulsing all the while, before my car stopped.the toyos are 1 of only 2 tires from any mfr in the size noted, the other being a bridgestone with equally horrific ice/snow traction ratings at tirerack and discount tire.toyota refuses any assistance, saying the tires are tire manufacturer warranted.the problem?i would be getting exactly the same tire again, and the a20 tire is the problem to begin with.i replaced the toyo's with another make and size at 15,900 miles (for $900) and they transformed my highlander completely winter traction-wise.this toyo tire needs to be banned entirely, yet toyota continues to spec them on new vehicles.
2011 toyota highlander with less than 13k miles has tires with very little tread left on them.was told by toyota tech that it needs new tires.less than one year old and the tires are balding.this poses a safety hazard and is not acceptable.

I was traveling down an interstate when a rear tire blew out. The tire is a toyo cross country a/t. He tire separated completely leaving the sidewalls on the rim and the tread & belts & rest of the tire tore off in one piece. Luckily, there was no accident/ injury. I looked up recalls and found there is a recall. I did not receive a notice. I have tried to contact toyo and been on hold for over an hour at a time, left message without return call. The tires have less than 20,000 miles on them. I am now very concerned about the safety of the three remaining tires. There was only minor property damage to the truck.

Tire falling apart and flaking including premature wearing on factory oem toyo open country 245-55x19 a20 tires which were on my 2008 toyota highlander purchase brand new on jul 2008. Approximate current mileage is 20,195. All tires are showing the same abnormal wear as verified by toyota dealer. There are numerous online complaints of similar owners with pictures of the unusual wearing. Mine are worse than are described as concurred by toyota service advisors.
Left rear tire on our 2016 toyota highlander begin to loose air while passing a semi truck on the interstate highway. The tire pressure alarm notified the driver of tire pressure loss for an emergency stop. Upon a complete stop the tire pressure had dropped about 85 % or so, (not flat but very near so and completed the air loss within a short time after stopping).. We know this because i was following behind my wife driving the highlander at the time. Travel speed was between 65 and 70 mph at the time. The tires are the original that came on the toyota new and had about 27000 miles on them. Upon inspection of the tire it looks obvious that the tire was defective due to the substantial amount of visual crumbled rubber all inside the tire separated from the sidewalls in side and the massive blisters on the outside of the tire, we had all the tires replaced on the vehicle as we had no trust in the rest of the tires after this happened. Neither the toyo tire manufacturer rep., the local toyota dealership, or the toyota company would take responsibility for the failure, or offered any concessions against the replacement tires. Photos of the tire and or the tire itself is available for nhtsa if there is a request to review. Poor customer service from the toyo tire manufacturer, the local dealership or the toyota company is quite obvious to us that they had no concern for other people that may have the same toyo tires that toyota choose to put on the new vehicle that may cause an accident.the tire brand is toyo, tire line is open country, tire size 245-55-19 dot # 73hh(cnd2216)
