CarComplaints.com Notes: 2008 is the first year of the 2nd generation Highlander, & it may be a model year to avoid as Toyota most likely worked out some production quality issues with the new model.
The 2009 Highlander is the has far fewer complaints.
I own a 2008 Toyota Highlander/Limited, bought it from Stokes/Brown Toyota in Beautfort S.C., was told that this truck was top of the line with leather interior but found out later
some of it was vinyl, but at 36,800 miles the Console in between the front seats is cracking up and I took the truck back to the dealer about this problem but I was told that the warrenty had expired and they could not fix it, but I feel like I should not have to fix their default using cheap leather/vinyl.
