This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Right passenger front row window motor stopped working for no apparent reason. This window was rarely used so it was very surprising. No longer under warranty.cost $345.36 to fix. Was fixed because of fear of not being able to exit vehicle in case of a crash. Toyota says 2004 is not part of current recall for window motors but definitely seems like the recall should be expanded because had same problem happen again on the 2nd row passenger side window motor on July 09. Suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason and again this window barely used. Could not afford to fix so it is stuck in up position. Have contacted Toyota and hoping they will expand recall to 2004 Highlanders. I hope all Toyota owners will report window motor problems and any other electrical problems to both the NHTSA and Toyota.
After we purchased our 2004 Highlander some months down the road the back windows would get jammed when rolled down. When rolled down they would not roll back up so we would know not to ever roll them down. It was unfortunate to accommodate the vehicle rather than vise versa and now they simply went down on their own and will not roll back up. The mistake was procrastinating years before when the problem was first noticed and not taking it right away but now that they are completely down I need to know if this is a 2004 generic defect or what is going on with my Toyota.
