Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Toyota Highlander based on all problems reported for the Highlander.
The driver's side windshield wiper has a nut which repeatedly comes loose. This causes the windshield wiper to become loose and cease to function. The dealer says that the mechanism was designed to come loose so as to avoid damage to the underlying motor. He said to just keep tightening the nut! in the 27,000 mile life of the vehicle, I have had to tighten it now a total of 3 times. The last time was 6 weeks ago during a snow storm. The inability to correct the problem constitutes a safety hazard due to a design flaw.
