Hi, thank you for this helpful video. My sister just got a 2009 Toyota Highlander but the engine serial number is difficult to check without removing the engine first. Where else in the car can this be seen? OR is there a way to get around the engine (without removal) in order to see it? Thank you in anticipation!
261k on my 2010 Highlander. I burn zero oil!!!!! I don’t have to add any oil between oil changes. Greatest car ever owned. Runs like a champ still. I have the V6 SE Fwd.
Do you run synthetic oil? If so what mileage do you change at? Also did you flush transmission oil at the recommended intervals? 🙏
@@Handofseeds synthetic yes.
I think it's 8 thousand miles, and your local mobile 1 etc will let you know.
No idea about flushing...
Always check your level from time to time/5, 6k
Sweet!!!
Hi mine makes a rare quick saound when starting engine not all the time and just for a 1
Second
In my humble opinion as these Highlander models are now aging, the number 1 problem is with the Engine Oil Cooler Pipe Leak as Toyota calls it but if you're driving and a pinhole opens up in one of these lines, you will have a major oil leak that may destroy your engine in a few minutes! This just happened to my wife as she was driving our 2011 Highlander Limited with the 3.5L 2GRFE engine. She called me when the low oil pressure light came on and I told her to get to a safe place to pull over and then shut off the engine. When I got there, the front undercarriage all the way to the back of the car mainly on the passenger side was just covered in oil. No oil registered on the dipstick. I added 5 quarts of oil and fortunately it started but oil was pouring from one of the oil cooler lines with the leak so I shut it down and had it towed to my Toyota Dealership. I still don't yet if permanent engine damage has occurred so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This is a known problem by Toyota and they issued a TSB(T-SB-02011-11) back in 2014 and also included Warranty Enhancement Program - ZE2.
I've done a lot of research on this over the past couple of days and it seems that many more occurrences of this problem are happening as vehicles reach 100,000 miles or more. The fix by Toyota is to replace the rubber oil cooler lines with metal pipe ones because the rubber ones become brittle over time. It's not a matter of if the rubber lines will fail but when and it's a catastrophic engine failure waiting to happen. The part number for the genuine Toyota Engine Oil Cooler Pipe replacement is 15767-31020. FYI, this also pertains to certain Siennas, Venzas, and a couple of Lexus models. I have no idea why there is no recall for this as it's dangerous if this leaks happens to you while driving in certain areas at certain times and if you can't pull over fast enough the engine will be destroyed due to oil starvation and that will cost thousands of dollars to replace. I have filed a complaint with the NHTSA and advise anybody else who had the same thing happen to do likewise. But first and foremost, if you have one of these Highlanders, check those oil cooler lines located under the car near the oil filter cartridge housing unit. If you still have the rubber lines, get them replaced ASAP by a Toyota Dealer or reputable mechanic! It may save your engine or possibly even your life.
Had this almost exact same situation happen to me 2 weeks ago pulling into my
driveway. It was Saturday so I bought the all metal part at Advance Auto and did it myself. It’s always/only been serviced at the original dealership, so I called them a bit angry Monday that they never once noticed or recommended a replacement of a high pressure oil hose in 10 years it’s been in there…
@@gfritts either their mechanics are incompetent or they're trying to rip you off by letting you ruin your motor so you buy another car from them. Either way I'd find another dealership and let them know exactly your car will never see the inside of one of their bays again.
Recalls ruin reputations. Look at how the rusty Tacomas were kept quiet for over 10 years.
@@gfritts Good to know the part is at the local auto store. Thanks. I don't own one but I like the information from everyone.
@@gfritts hey, where can I locate the part to see if I need to replace it or not?
The only problem I have is my gas tank getting empty. My mechanic says it's because I drive it. I dunno if I should believe him or find someone else.
I’d get a 2nd opinion. I mean what the heck is the big battery doing in the engine if it’s drinking all that fuel?
🤣🤣🤣
😂 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I push mine, I get a pretty steady 24 mpg
Have a 2008 Highlander with 200,000 miles. Only 1 of these top 5 has gone bad and that was 1 coil. Had to replace a Trans line, Alternator, drivers arm rest pad(twice). Other than those items, just regular maintenance. Has been a great vehicle.
My 2008 v6 with 230k only water pump twice, 1 coil, and fan assembly. Nothing else has broken and I’ve had it since 60k
You absolutely can replace just the lock actuator motor. It’s easy and videos are abundant
I bought my 2012 highlander almost 8 years ago it had 29,000 miles. All I been doing is oil change, brakes and tires never spent a dime on anything else since I bought this car. I guess am lucky. Currently it has 134,000 miles.
Same, mines at 141,0000
I have a toyota kluger gronde 2012 in india punjab it's still going good and strong it has 127,000 miles
You ARE lucky. I had to replace water pump and alternator at 135k miles.
@@johnkim701 that’s not bad at all.
161, 650 on mine, the only problem is paint is peeling off.
I highly suspect the validation of the content, I have been in auto repair industry for 7 years. I have not seen a single knock sensor problem in any of the Toyota 3.5 V6 vehicle, are you sure you are not talking about the 3.0 or 3.3 engine?
The VVT one is even more laughable, Toyota cam gear will last longer than any other parts in their car as long as you change the oil ( you can even change the oil every 7-8k mile on these V6 Toyota without worrying you check engine light on with the Crank/Cam correlation code or VVT code) . I wonder where their data point is from.
I do however agree on the water pump and ignition coil, but again, which water pump or coil doesn't go bad after 150k.
Exactly I have one 2010 6 cyl. with 230,000 miles on it, only regular oil changes (3,000 mikes) the water pump went out at 187,000 and that is the only repair my vehicle has required. I really doubt the claims in this video.
He did say "most common". That could mean that even if 1% of these engines have the issue, it could be the most common on an unproblematic engine like the 2GR-FE.
do you think that the 1st Gen 3.3L engine 3MZ-FE has more problems than the 2nd Gen 3.5L engine 2GR-FE?
My 08 highlander rattles when starting up. And have had 3 alternators, 2 water pumps. One starter. Ignition coil replaced, 240kay miles as of today. Yesterday check engine, vsc, all the lights come on blinking. Same thing it does when the alternator goes out.
My 2013 knock sensor went because the wiring insulation is tasty for mice and chipmunks 🐿 to eat... Fact.

You mean like scotty's? 😂🤐
Good video but most important common problem & SERIOUS PROBLEM then all listed here is the rubber oil pressure lines. If you have 80,000 Miles on this car & haven’t replaced the oil pump that has the rubber lines with the metal lines, you MUST do it NOW at 80,000 Miles. It is the most important of the MOST COMMON 6 FAILURES. When one of these LINES ( part of the pump) goes you will loose ALL YOUR OIL in seconds. That is very serious & something that you do NOT want to have happen to you. Just replace it the moment you read this if you haven’t already or if you purchased it & notice it still has rubber lines, REPLACE IN NOW also. This should have been a recall item from Toyota but they didn’t want to admit to the problem. If you do this yourself buy stud remover sockets & shorten a 12mm wrench & it’s not to a bad fix to replace.
Very helpful, thank you!
You overlooked a major problem with these v6 engines-the rubber oil cooling pipes get brittle and fail leading to catastrophic engine failure. This should be number one problem on this list.
I just bought a 2013 how can I tell if it’s already been fixed?
That's it, way to go Toyota.
Not bad, mostly like maintenance for parts that gets wear out!
Thank you sir!!!!
2011 Toyota Highlander 2.7L engine. 272K miles. Rattling sounds at low RPM (idling in park or when stopped in gear), not just on start up. No engine lights, no leaks under vehicle. Always synthetic oil regularly changed around 5k miles. What do you think? Research seems to point toward the VVTi gear/cam problem, and/or chain guides/tensioner. Nice video thank you
I've had to replace the water pump once so far. Also had a weird 1-3 second hard vibration come from the torque converter, trans flush will fix that. And at about 212k miles my catalytic converter got plugged, a sawzall and a $10 flex steel tube will fix that. Also burns a good amount of oil... Just my own experience and things to take note of so you don't have to spend days like me trying to diagnose your car
I have a 2009 Toyota Highlander Limited w/ 114000 mi, and I love it. But Warning!!! If you have the tow package there is an oil hose that goes to an oil cooler, it has metal ends but a synthetic hose between them. This hose can blow which leads to an immediate loss of oil pressure and an alarm telling you to stop at once. When it happened to me, luckily, I was on a country back road so I was able to stop right away but if I had been on an Interstate Highway I probably would have fried my engine trying to pullover or exit. Cost of repair by dealer $564.00. My side mechanic was on vacation who probably would have cost 25% less. Toyota was aware of the problem because they had a 10-year voluntary recall to get the problem fixed, I missed it by 6 months. The replacement part is all metal. My advice is to replace it now rather than risking blowing an engine.
Wow. Sounds just like what happened to me. Was driving my 2010 Venza with 140,000 miles, out of no where engine light and oil light popped on. Got out and discovered the oil cooler blew, 6 months passed the warranty/recall as well. Cost me $350 at my Toyota dealer after I screamed at them. Luckily the engine wasn't fried. They won't pay to fix it unless it's broken. There should have been a recall. I can't imagine how many people have spent $4000+ on a new engine because of a simple hose.
I had the same exact issue on my 2008 highlander at roughly 110,000 miles. Except the hose blew a hole so small I did not get a warning light I actually noticed the oil leaking myself. Cost me $250 to fix at a mechanic.
Not bad, all n all a good suv, just pecked one up with 175K miles, runs smooth.
My 2013 limited has 210,000 miles and only have done oil cihanges tires struts. Just regular maintenance. Best suv I’ve owned so far no major problems.
THANKS!
Not mentioned in the video (because not in top 5 and/or only applies to the 2nd Generation Highlanders with factory towing package), is possible the risky rubber and metal oil cooler pipes. Scary catastrophic stuff ,but I do not know the failure stats. Definitely something to change out before failure occurs.
What part number are you referencing?
Thanks!
Bought a 2012 new, my only complaints, the mirror control switch stopped working, the radio volume control has a mind of it's own, and loose parts in both front door window actuators. I've had to open up both front doors tighten or replace parts that hold the window on track.
I have a 2004 Toyota RAV4 it has 287000 miles on it since I've had it all I've changed out is two CV joints for radiator and fans that was my fault I missed the fans not starting fuel fuel injectors brakes tires alternator battery pretty common s*** easy to repair and parts are easy to find I love Toyota products I saw a Toyota Highlander and I've been thinking of looking at buying one but my RAV4 is still alive and kicking
I have had none of those problems, its at 168000 miles now. What I did have was the very common brake abs pump failure, rear hatch motor arm failure, a/c actuator motor failure.
Nice job god bless
I have an 07 Avalon(same motor) the water pump is the only issue I’ve had. I think the newer 2GR-fe motors took care of that problem. Currently have 193 thousand miles. Still purrs
I have a p0368 code on my toyota highlander. do you know what that is and were this part or problem maybe located. i checked the code an it says camshaft position sensor.
I have toyota kluger gronde 2012 in india punjab and it still going strong it has 127,000 miles in it
My 2009 V6 Highlander started making this whining noise coming from the engine compartment. The noise is only on when moving, i.e it does NOT come on when the engine is on but the car is sitting still. Any idea??
I had water pump replaced at like 100k miles and alternator at 135k miles. I forgot to mention a crankshaft/camshaft position sensor which can be a pain to replace just like those 3 spark plugs located in the aft side of engine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yes Transmissions will do that but shouldn't at 135k. I would change ATF long before they say. Use a high quality Fluid too. It is well worth it. Or it could be your power steering pump. Just guessing here but both will whine.
I have an '08. I have had to replace water pump at 80,000 miles and my VVTI line burst at 105,000. Apparently the VVTI line is a super common issue and was fine once replaced with a metal one. Surprised the VVTI oil line issue wasn't in the video since it's a very common issue
I also have 08, 181k miles the vvti line never been touched. did you do it yourself? or how much did toyota charge you to change that tube?
Looking to buy an 08 limited have you had any other issues since then?
The VVT actuator problem effected me. The pin in the gear failed. It was a $2700 job for me. The car runs great after the repair. I operated the car for 75,000 miles with this known problem (cold start rattle) before taking the car in to get the VVT gear replaced.
Wow. 75k
@@girl600podcast Not sure if similar to Honda 2008 Accord but mine has rattle when starting, Not cold but after sitting engine off 1.25 hrs minimum to 2hrs after oil has drain completely down. Bought at 104,000 in 2013, now at 192,000 and it still rattles like a diesel engine for split second when starting. So 88,000 miles.
I came for the Highlander info but now I want a vintage GTO

? My 2012 Toyota Highlander 83k check engine light is staying on. So I took it into Toyota they’re telling me it a code P0368 Camshaft Position Sensor. In which they would have to remove the top of the engine cover to replace. Ok so I ask if that the case can you replace the spark plugs while the cover is off. I was told probably not. So my ? Where is the camshaft Position Sensor B high input Bank 1 located and since they have it taken apart wouldn’t the rear spark plugs be more accessible. Since the 3 rear plugs require you to remove the intake manifold. Please advise as to where this sensor is located and what parts have to be removed to get to it. Thanks
Pshh unreal...i have a 2011 highlander for 8 years with 140k miles...not a single problem.
+zakalsaedi Thanks for the feedback!
Bartledoo?
yes, mine 181k not a single problem. just get little bit noisier after 12 years
It will be nice if you also give a ball park estimate (part and labor) of getting each of these fixed...
IF YOU HAVE THIS ENGINE BEFORE THE REDESIGN ON APRIL 08, Make sure the VVTI oil line is metal or at least replace it with metal before it raptures. Oil will drain out in 30 seconds if it raptures while driving. Otherwise, great vehicle and engine.
So was this a problem that only pertained to the 08 models and before?
Thank you for a conise and well done video with chapter markers, but would have been a 100% better video if you had included ESTIMATED (as in ballparked) costs of these repairs. Why did you not include this info? The video does not give complete info without it.
Have had oil cooler line fail(caught it before oil starvation) and recently water pump replaced. 180k miles
I have same car 2008 toyota highlander hybrid. I was working on headlight and I left the hood open and it rained . Since then the outer foot light (the light on the outside mirror light) is on. I tried to turn it off but I don;t see any clue. Even the owners manual says nothing about it. Do you have any idea if there if any switch for it or if there is fuse,which fuse is for this. Every 2 to 3 hours I go and start the car so it won't drain the battery. Pls,can you help me on this regard?
I have the 2008 toyota highlander sport 2wd. I get the code p0355 ignition coil E malfunction. Can you tell how to fix and where to locate this ignition coil E? Thanks

I am surprised that you didn't mention the intermediate steering shaft. There are a lot of videos on RUclips about this problem and it appears that it isn't isolated to the Highlander. I have a 2009 base model FWD Highlander with 125,000 miles which I have only had for a couple of weeks and it was obvious there was a problem there since day one.
Great video, but you broke my heart. I wanted to get one for myself, a used one after I saw a video describing them the most reliable SUV. Now what? buy a Ford, Chevy.

Own a 2011 Highlander V6 4wd with 95k miles and the only thing I've replace is the battery last year.
The battery was still working fine, I was just getting paranoid with it being 13+ yrs old
The ignition coil thing again on the Highlanders too?!! 😩
I love the Toyotas V6 engines but the location of the 3 back banks is so annoying smh.
I currently have a Avalon, was looking at used 2012 Highlanders.

I have a 2013 Highlander. All 4 Door lock actuators went bad. Spent 2000 to get them fixed. I notice water leaking in the garage. I figure it was the ac water. The temp doesn't rise on the dash so not sure if I should replace the water pump or not.
If it was the water pump your car would be overheating and you would be able to smell the antifreeze, also the water in your garage would be green
At just over 48,000 my wife's 2012 Highlander 3.5 had the water pump replaced plus coolant flush. It did not leak but it started rattling. Just had it worked on 5.22.2023. At the same time had the belt replaced as per me. No reason to replace water pump and not do the damn belt while right there. Cost from the dealer, $1450
Buying a 2013 limited awd. 76k miles, should I be ready for any normal issues coming up around 100k?
I own a 2013 bought it used with also 76k miles on it and it now has 112k miles. I did come across the coil Ignition problem but that was an easy fix. It is now running again with no issues. I’ll also include that mine is a 4cyl.
The rubber VVTI oil line likes to burst around 100,000 miles. Its a good idea to go ahead and replace it with a metal one before you hit 100k. Mine went bad at 105k while I was driving. Lost all my oil with no notice and almost seized my engine
How to know where is the cylinder 1 on a 4 cylinder highlander? My code is p0301 and says cylinder 1 misfire. Thanks.
Have a 2008 I bought new. Positively the worst POS I have ever owned in 49 years. Sunroof leaks, drivers window fell into door (of course during epic thunderstorm), oil line ruptured, water pump, struts, eats rear breaks and tires, rear window kept opening, radio dead, and at least a dozen other fails. Most occurred 30-50,000 miles. It has made a pretty good mechanic out of me. Mostly because I couldn’t afford to pay someone to fix it. All scheduled maintenance I did way before recommended. Maybe I found the 1 in a billion lemon, but I’ll never buy another Toyota.
Is that a GOAT in the background???

Same here, I actually trashed my first transmission being an idiot and my 2nd transmission does the same thing so it’s probably normal.
I was expecting the Evaporator to be the top most and it's not even given the special mention...
Have you check your transmission Mount or engine mounts?
1. Engine oil cooler pipe (pin hole in rubber hose)
2. Water pump leak.
3. VVTI oil leak at the banjo joint.
The 3 things I experienced first hand.
Kecup Abece Just going over maintenance records on 2008 Highlander I bought and your 1. & 2. were on receipts, along with the usual, alternator, belt and tension er pulley Ignition coil (1 only),
What mileage do these problems typically start happening?
My water pump cap went out on my 08 at about 137k n had coolant leaking. I had a problem with the alternator when i first got the car, think I needed a new alternator all together actually, don't remember 100%. Needed a new battery coincedently at the same time, idk if the bad alternator. Other than that, this had been a great, reliable truck
@@luuneychild2951 I've seen mine on carfax, the previous owner changed alternator 3 times. Any idea?
I had my water pump replaced at like 100k miles and alternator at 135k miles.
You forgot to mention the Oil Cooler on the 3.5 V6 models! Very dangerous problem! The rubber oil lines eventually fall apart, and literally drain all your oil out while you drive. Updated part has metal oil lines. This happened to my 2010 at 140k
did you change it your self? how much did they charge you?
Happened to my wife on her ‘09. She pulled into a parking lot and shut off car in enough time to prevent damage.
Some said it's only issue with the towing package. Did yours come with towing package?
So it doesn’t happen on the 4 cylinder model?
@@johnkim701 the one i just bought did, come with tow pkg and records show it happened. I even have letters to Toyota in folder that they gave me They were on the road and dealership they had stopped at wanted to charge them when there was a recall. Have the letter Toyota sent them back as well interesting. Just glad to see it was fixed.
2011 200K miles and runs like new.
I got misfires for cyl 2 and 4 that won't go away. New coils, New injectors and New plugs... Still misfires :/
Mechanic said my 2009 highlander was burning oil. I just switched the oil thickness and the issue went away.
From what to what?
My 2012 limited has 635,000 miles. Engine was replaced at 585k only due to high oil consumption…
I’m thinking to buy a 2009 Highlander with 110,000 miles. What do you recommend me before buying?
I would say that as long as the car has a good service history when you buy it, it should last you at least 250,000 miles minimum GIVEN you keep up with all the necessary maintenance. I wouldn’t be shocked if the car last you past 250,000. I used to work for a lube shop and CONSISTENTLY saw 300,000 plus mile Toyota’s! Hence why I’m also looking Highlander like you! Not all Toyota’s are made the same but this gen of the Highlander is pretty darn solid in my opinion! Hope this helps!
Make sure to check for oil leaks under the car. These cars have issues with the Oil Coolant Lines.
In certain years, from 08' to 12', they used rubber hoses, which started leaking. This can destroy the engine, if not caught in time.
I just bought a 2012 a couple of weeks ago, but they had already replaced those lines with metal lines.
Also make sure the Rear Tailgate door opens properly, if you buy a Limited version with the automatic liftgate.
Check and make sure the Drivers window DOESN'T CLICK, when you raise it. If it does, make them loctite the Bolts that secure the window!
But after all is said... THIS IS 1 BAD ASS SUV!! It can run for over 300,000 miles, if taken care of!!
I have a 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited with 155,000 miles and the worst problem we've had is a oxygen sensor go bad. The other problem we've had is the bolt in the auto lift for the back hatch keeps working its way loose.
The only other problem we've had is the deer love to run into the side of the SUV. We've only gotten a few tiny dents. Boy the 12 point bucks love to ram their horns along the driver' side. We all have survived.
My radio and reverse camera not working, help
This isnt "problems with the highlander" this is "things that wear out on every vehicle ever made". None of these parts were meant to last forever. Thats why there are parts stores.
I have a 2013 Toyota Highlander Base LE we are at 190K miles my check engine light came on and trac off light came on. The mechanic said it was some type if censor. They ordered that part and put it in and test drove it three times the lights went off but then came back on and car stopped working. Now they are saying it needs a new engine that the coding is saying the engine is done. He said I have an interference motor so it limits what he can fix. So a new motor and labor will run about 5k
+Kisha Simon Thanks for the feedback!
Could be your alternator. The engine will always last for you with Toyota. Keep your fluids changed.
And somehow the under-engineered rear hatch hinge/motor didn't make the list?
A dealership replaced mine years ago before I bought it……. Is that a remedy or will it just happen again?
Almost all problems are related to a Toyota's V6 2GR-FE engine. Wherever its installed on Camry, Sienna, RAV4 or Lexus

2013 Highlander with a v4 engine with 150,00 miles. The low oil pressure comes on and it took it to the dealership. They told me the engine is eating up the oil and I need a new engine 😢. Crazy with only 150,000 miles. Anyone else has this problem?
No the biggest problem is they never update the darn maps
number 6 , traction, abs and air bag warning lights lol
Nothing major; will this engine run the 500,000 like the 4Runner 4.0 v6?
No it won't bro after research this engone is no gooda
Heck yes, if you change oil.
It could get u 400k
I was told that the spark plugs need to get replaced on these at 100k miles but to do that the engine needs to get pulled to get to the back plugs. Is that correct?

Not true sir, I have 2013 Highlander 2.7l since 2015 and never had any issue with the stuff you mentioned
How odd. I have the exact Year and engine that you have and I came across the Coil Ignition problem. Mine also has 112k miles on it.
i had a water pump failure onn a 2008
Lazy info for diy
To change that water pump is a b!$& no space at all
Toyotas only
Move in move in javan in trouble move now Y compromiso hylander move now

+Imran Abbasi Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Why is that engine so f-ing dirty.
Transmission issues too...flushing should not be done unless there's metal in the drained oil..
+hondatrix Thanks for the feedback!
hondatrix; not sure why you don't want to flush it other than maybe too much pressure or something but you can and should change it. I change mine but I don't use any kind of flushing machine, if there is such a thing. Change it means all of it. Some say they do a change when it's only a partial change and they leave old fluid in. Not sure why but some new fluid is better than no new fluid I guess.
