2017 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER VIN: [XXX] I purchased my Highlander new in 2017 and I have had consistent electrical issues. The radio has consistently fluctuated between bass, treble, and off for no apparent reason. I have taken my vehicle to the dealer 4 times and still no change. I have replaced the battery 3 times although I only have 25,000 miles on 55,000mile tires, the tire treads are wearing quickly. I rarely go anywhere and when I do it is on smooth surfaced, well-maintained roads. All maintenance is completed at the dealership, including rotation and balancing. I really so annoyed and I see by the comments that I am not alone in these issues. I'm not even going to get into the plastic chrometek wheels. However, Toyota states there are no problems.

Purchased new tires Goodyear aviva at walmart covington la on Aug 2019 the car pulled as soon as I purchased them and they said to get alignment. Well after 2 alignments at Toyota and a third at autoville repair shop they came to conclusion it was bad tires. These tires have only 2000 miles on them and walmart wont credit anything. They will kill people if you dont do anything about this problem. I am 70 years old and these are worst tires I ever owned please help people stay alive and recall them.

On Thursday, September 5th I hit a piece of wood on the highway while driving about 72 mph. The wood was the size of a typical piece of firewood. My tire instantly went flat and I pulled over immediately. Upon inspection, I saw that the rim broke into two pieces. Essentially, while I was pulling over, I was driving on a 1/4" lip of broken wheel rim. I was shocked that this could even happen. This is remarkably dangerous and could have resulted in something much more harmful than a flat tire. I would like to know what material this rim is made of. Does Toyota believe it broke by design or that faulty materials were used" how many other instances like this have been reported"
