Toyota Highlander 2004 6 cyl awd - last may squealing noise coming from back of the car. Made it to a Toyota dealer and found out it was the rear differential. Took 4 days and over $1200 to fix. This week, noise coming from front of the car. Continued to get worse. Took to Toyota dealer and was informed it was the drive shaft - so far out of alignment needs to be replaced? just had it at the same dealer for maintenance 3 weeks ago - said nothing. This will cost $1300. Searching internet and finding I'm not alone, but no recall. What gives with these cars?.

2003 Toyota Highlander, 4 cyl , auto trans. Between 25 and 45 mph, when you apply the brake on the auto and then press the gas to resume your forward travel, there is a kick (like a looseness in the transmission and drive shaft) followed by the motor revving as it should and the transmission down shifting. I went to the dealer who told me yes, there is a looseness caused by the fact that there is a lot of rubber connectors holding the differential and drive shaft assembly to the vehicle frame. Over time they had fatigued (31000 miles). The dealer took no action. I have a registered a complaint with Toyota (200508090110). A final end result would be the differential and attached drive shaft falling off the auto while it is in motion causing a serious injury or fatal crash.
