TOYOTA HIGHLANDERS SUV BRAKE LIGHTS FOR YEARS 2002-2003 HAS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT BRAKE LIGHTING. MY WIFE'S 2003 TOYOTA LIMITED EDITION HIGHLANDER RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT STOP WORKING ON 25 JUNE 2010. AFTER READING AND LEARNING MANY OTHER TOYOTA HIGHLANDERS OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, I HAD TO SUBMIT THIS, SINCE TOYOTA HAS NOT ANNOUNCED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR OTHER COMMENTS FROM TOYOTA HIGHLANDER'S OWNER: HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/TOYOTA-HIGHLANDER/T7H7LD934GSQLC6BE. I WORRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE SO MANY OWNERS HAVE PAID A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY TRYING TO HAVE THIS IS RESOLVED, AND THE ONLY REPLY/RESPOND THEY RECEIVE FROM THE DEALERSHIP TECH'S ARE MORE MONEY AND A STATEMENT INFORMING THEM THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL. I ALSO WORRY ABOUT THIS BECAUSE WHAT WOULD MY WIFE SAY TO A POLICE OFFICER IF SHE IS CITED REPEATEDLY? PLEASE ASSIST IN SERIOUS MATTER. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. WHILE STOPPED A STOP SIGN AND THE RPMS BEGIN TO INCREASE EXCESSIVELY. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PULL OFF SHE WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. A MECHANIC CAME AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FRONT AXLE HAD BROKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 12000. UPDATED 01/24/11 *BF THE DEALER STATED THE DRIVER SIDE AXLE BROKE IN HALF AND HALF OF THE AXLE BECAME STUCK IN THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO THE CAMSHAFT POSITION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 03/16/11
