Toyota has announced that it plans to recall 90,000 Highlander SUVs in the U.S. The recall is due to a defect in the Highlander’s third-row seat belts, which could prevent rear-facing child seats from being properly secured. The Japanese automaker has also issued a stop of sale on all 2008 Highlanders equipped with third-row seating.
The recall impacts Highlander models built between May 2007 and March 2008. Owners will be informed of the recall in June.
No injuries or accidents have been linked to the defect.

Was anyone hurt like in the GM recalls ???
and is Toyota at the 3 million plus mark yet (if you add all the GM recalls up that I posted) ?
No but a defective third row seatbelt is pretty dangerous considering there is so much room in that thrid row.

Its just not nearly as severe as the GM recalls where people are getting injured. Also why can Toyota catch a problem quickly and it takes GM years to do and after people have been hurt

Hahaha 1115, you are trying to explain away a recall by saying that there is not a lot of room in the third row so it is okay to have the seatbelts not work because the babies and little children will just slam up against the second row which is close so they won’t get hurt THAT bad. You said:
“No but a defective third row seatbelt is pretty dangerous considering there is so much room in that thrid row.”
THAT’S YOUR EXCUSE?? You’re pathetic. I can’t even imagine what you would say is the Acadia’s third row restraints did not work. You would crucify GM for being “unsafe”. Just accept that Toy quality is falling, and falling fast.

No, your question made the assertation that Toyota can somehow catch a recall situation quickly and it takes GM years to do the same. I think if you were to look again, you’d see that Toyota doesn’t recall any quicker than anyone else, their customer service is basically no different, and the quality of their vehicles is more suspect than you’ve been spouting off about. but guess what? No one takes your blathering seriously, and I’m not into arguing with a fool today.

I wonder what it will take for toyota’s owner blindness to wear off. Will the cars have to burst into flames while at the same time stealing you identity for people to no longer fall face first into them? Even with mounting recalls or warranty ammendments every person who has one still says they are the right hand of christ. I love it. Wait until their resale falls because of rebates and dealer discounts.

GM is ALREADY proven unsafe so I would say the same thing I say when I see a recall from them. Its to be expected from GM bc they have a history of recalls and poor build quality.
It would just be another one of the MILLIONS of recalls

If anyone at any time tried to secure child seat in the third seat of Highlander they would start legal actions against Toyota for cruel and unusual punishment. You have to be a troll to do anything there in the first place. I personally think Toyota is fixing non-existing problem, but Toyota management knows what they doing better then I am.
1115, Toyota has the best legal minds working on their payroll: I don’t think they need your advocacy, chill out. I am stack in a meeting, but if I could I would get away from laptop and catch some fresh air.

Should anyone expect anything different from tripleonedouche… he’s already proven to be a hypocrite and a liar. Here we have ANOTHER recall from the mighty Toyota, but this time on a defect that could prove to be highly dangerous to CHILDREN of all people… and what’s the excuse?? “Oh.. they’re dangerous, but not as dangerous as GM.”
TYPICAL BS FROM A TYPICAL LYING HYPOCRITE!
Why is it that the merit of every Japanese recall is weighed against domestic recalls from 5-15 years ago?? It’s all a matter of BS semantics… by someone’s own logic – If GM has PROVEN to be unsafe, then Toy-o is PROVING to be unsafe now.
All of this is the conjectured opinion of one pathetic little person and can’t be proven just because they say so… you know, just like the existence of an Acura CL with a failed transmission at 42K.

AMGoff, actually both CL & TL had defective trannies, but Acura contained problem with aplomb. I brought in my mother’s TL, drove back loaner, put almost 400 mi on loaner in a day and exchanged cars in the evening. In addition, Acura provide full maintenance (oil, filter, etc), washed car, replaced wiper blades and filled car with gas during test dive. I did not bother filling loaner and felt guilty afterwards. They even found glove under seat, my mother considered lost. I call it luxury service.

the CL comment was only made to highlight a blatant lie told by tripleonefag… He went on two other sites claiming to have owned a CL (and a TL actually), one of which he talked about the failed transmission. Then after I brought that up on here after getting tired of him constantly crying and screaming about Hondas superior reliability, he tried to say he didn’t post those and that he never owned one. So he’s either outright lying here and is also a hypocrite or he was lying there and is just a worthless liar. Ever since, he’s been doing his best to avoid all of that and his posts have devolved into gibberish.

NEWS: Toyota recalling Sequoia, Tundra models
WASHINGTON – January 17, 2007 – Toyota Motor Corp. said Thursday it was recalling 533,000 Tundra pickup trucks and Sequoia sport utility vehicles because of potential steering problems.
Toyota said the recall involved 2004-2006 Tundra trucks and 2004-2007 Sequoia full-size SUVs. The automaker has received reports of 11 accidents and six injuries connected to the recall, said Toyota spokesman…
The automaker said there was a possibility of excessive wear to a front suspension lower ball joint that could make it difficult to steer the vehicle and stay in the center of the lane. Drivers may also notice more noise coming from the front suspension,….

If you like injunraiv, you can go and post whatever personal information you like about the douchebag… frankly, I don’t wish to go that far… all I wanted to do was clearly show that he’s a hypocrite and now, a liar (which he made himself out to be a liar) when it comes to cars… I have no reason to post anything irrelevant to that fact, even if I could.
Either way… I’m sure he’ll never be man enough to actually address the lies he has told and instead we can only expect him to dance around and change the subject by pulling up random and irrelevant things about other people. I’ve said it before… I’m more than old enough to realize that anything I post on the internet is there for all to see and I’ve never been worried about it because all of my stories match up from place to place for one single reason – I’m not some little coward that lies, back-peddles, and changes my stories.

However they can see you as a big baby who whines and who is way too immature to handle an online thread.
Each time you post you whine more and show how immature and sensitive you are.
Back to the subject. The Toyota Highlander is a helluva vehicle and I come on the board just to let poeple know that GM ford and others are unreliable and unsafe as well. They have bad track records and this is proven. They should prove themselves and then consumers will consider them in the same league as the Japanese. I back this up with resale reliabiltiy rating from valued sources and all you guys bring back to me is a JD Powers 3 year study on a Buick lol. Until GM and others are forced to make a reliable car they wont bc they can sell the car on patriotism alone and that is dangerous for drivers on the roads which can be you

The diference between you and I is that we know GM and Ford and Chrysler and Toyota and everyone else have recalls.
But you contend Japanese are not serious and they do not cause injuries unlike big 3 recalls. That sir is inaccurate and false. (see my previous post)
The fact of the matter is that I believe some Japanese companies are at the top of the car industry (Honda Subaru and others). Toyota is no longer there. But you blindly and ignorantly defend anything that comes from Japan.
Toyota is dropping quickly in quality while two of the big three are making great efforts and will soon surpass Toyota in Inital Quality and we will eventually see them surpass Toyota in long term quality. What I am saying is that alot of Toyotas new stuff is way below their PRECIEVED bar of perfection. And you are to flawed to see that.
The biggest deference between a GM recall and a Toyota recall is not the quantity or the severity of the recall. It is that most of Toyota’s recalls involve new product, and many of GM’s recent recalls involve older, no longer produced vehicles.(See your above post)

I have never said that Japan doesn’t have recalls.
I do think some recalls are more serious than others especially when injuries are already involved I cant help that.
GM has already injured people and Honda and Toyota have not.
The real question is why is everyone on this board so gung Ho (lol) about Toyota having recalls???
Ask yourself that question. Could it be that we are Americans and we should prefer an American product even though it may not be as well made??
GMs recalls involve a range of vehicles that go all the way to current models
My above recall was just one of the many recalls some of which had thread on LLN
I don’t think anyone has a PERcieved bar of perfection for any car but there are some cars that are less likely to give problems and when comparing the Japanese vs. American, the Japanese car is less likely to have issues. The resale and the numbers speak for themselves
If you seriously think that GM is on par with the Japanese then fine but the numbers show otherwise. If you buy American over Japanese your decision is based on either stupidity patriotism or hope none of which are reasons to consider a GM when shopping for a car
If you like your Cadillac’s or Pontiacs then fine just don’t buy it on patriotism.

Yes. And when I say that I’m saying that ALL manufacturers have problems. I’ve taken Hondas on trade from very disappointed owners who’ve discovered there is no panacea of quality. I’ve had customers who’ve experienced abnormally high levels of problems with their GM vehicles as well. I’ve owned DOZENS of GM vehicles over the years, and am yet to have a car that I couldn’t rely on. Your experience might have been different. But more likely you’ve never even owned a domestic and think you’re smarter than everyone else because you have a Honda. I’ve seen it all too often…

No, I’m saying that based on my 20+ years of experience that your biases and statements are incorrect. I can’t explain the mass delusion that jap cars are better than domestics. For the life of me I can’t figure it out. I’ve dealt with some of these people who insist their car never breaks when it’s in my shop because it’s broken! But funny thing about the public. Their perceptions change from time to time, and everything is cyclical.
Also, I tow vehicles for AAA and believe me I get to haul a lot of jap brands to various shops. It happens. It happens a lot.
I see it, I live it. You don’t.
Oh, and let me be the first to call BS on you when you go crazy over the latest GM recall announcement LLN will eventually cover. It seems that in one crash test (one) that a dummy hit its head on a door pillar and might have gotten hurt. So even without any injuries GM is fixing it. I can’t wait to hear more BS from you on that!

http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2008/02/nhtsa_gm_fires.html
The HHR is a 2006-2008 Model I was having a hard time finding that recall but thanx The truck owners reported to NHTSA that both homes were badly damaged and two people were injured in one of the fires. The trucks set homes on fire ! Homes possibley with Children OH THE CHILDREN
GM is recalling 275,936 MY 2005-2007 Cadillac CTS, SRX, STS, MY 2006-2007 Pontiac Solstice, and MY 2007 Saturn Sky passenger vehicles. The rear axle pinion seal does not meet all of the specifications and may experience a fluid leak. A rear differential failure may cause loss of motive power and possibly loss of vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the pinion seal.
Umm I thought you said the recalls were from 5- 15 years ago . When you can admit that GM is making recent recalls on their new models (which further proves my point and negate your point) Toyota may have caused 6 injuries compared to 267 GM fires and over 8 injuries including buring 2 homes down its still better to buy the Toyota

re:
GM is recalling 275,936 MY 2005-2007 Cadillac CTS, SRX, STS, MY 2006-2007 Pontiac Solstice, and MY 2007 Saturn Sky passenger vehicles. The rear axle pinion seal does not meet all of the specifications and may experience a fluid leak. A rear differential failure may cause loss of motive power and possibly loss of vehicle control increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the pinion seal.
Actually this recall was announced by Getrag, the manufacturer of the rear axle. They made GM aware of their mistake and hence released this recall to replace to affected parts. Getrag manufactures many parts for many companies including BMW and Porsche. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getrag
Unlike Toyota, GM took the blame for the defect and didnt blame Getrag(which the imports defiantly would of)

2002 CADILLAC SEVILLE FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR
I hope you realize that a skewed Fuel Tank Pressure sensor will only provide false FTP reading that will result in excess vacuum that will set a Type A DTC with a resulting MIL lamp. Most people would have gone to a dealer and received a replacement ‘Made in Singapore’ sensor and be on their way. Accidents and injuries. I think not.
Because it is an emission control, a safety recall was issued.

Somehow I don’t see Toyota subletting seatbelt and seat design to a smaller vendor. They should of had this figured out YEARS AGO. SUV’s and kids, yeah no brainer.
GM fires…. most of these cars had a valve cover leak and recommended at some point for a repair. The owners that chose to neglect a simple valve cover gasket repair (all manufacturers have leaking valve covers) were shocked that oil followed the rules gravity and ran onto the exhaust. (supercharged engine exh manifolds are much hotter than NA mtrs) Shocking. Most import owners gladly pay for a simple repair like that. Most domestic owners are skeptical they are getting hosed by a flat rate mechanic. Its ok, GM will goodwill new engines for owners that have never changed their oil. Lets see you get a warranty or out of warranty repair out of an import without a service history. Didn’t think so.
Injuries were most likely a result of negligence. Do you think someone got injured getting burned in a car in the drivers seat from a fire at the engine? More like burnt eyebrows opening the hood and diving in for a closer look.

LOL, so funny. LLN just needs to put the word “recall” and some big car manufacturer and we get posts up to 50+ talking about a bunch of useless BS.

Oh, for ****’s sake. What does a Toyota recall have to do with GM, people?
A defective seat belt is a huge deal, and the recall is warranted. Chalk it up to growing pains and see it for what it is. Proof that Toyota’s reputation is not much more than public perception, as usual. There is no perfect car company, and Toyota never has been close. They were simply the ‘other man’ who was there to pick up the pieces when our love for domestic iron went sour.

Exactly it doesn’t oldraven. 1115 just likes to throw the old “Hey Toyota has a recall, but in comparison to GM they are still better” see his first post…

I know, we’re all just feeding the Troll, though. He did exactly what he wanted. He turned around, and you all helped, and made it about GM’s quality. I’ve seen more talk about GM recalls, from both sides, in this thread than the actual recall on topic, a Toyota one. You call him an idiot, then you play right into his hands.
It’s like a dog who rips up your couch for attention. Sure, you’re beating him with a shoe, but hey, attention is attention.

Hey, I’m guilty. I fought this goon for a few weeks before I saw that it’s always a big useless circle. You can’t convince someone who has no capacity for perspective. He’ll just keep drawing his own conclusions from everything we type, no matter how much those arguments prove the opposite. Show the guy an Apple, and if he’s convinced enough that every fruit is an Orange, you’ll be holding an Orange.

Well sure, but only if he’s convincing. This guy thinks he’s being convincing, but all he’s really doing is reinforcing that you’re better off with the apple in the first place.

You have hit the nail on the head. 1115 is incapable of seeing past his own narrow minded opinions. And he is not worth anyones time.
Thanks for sharing your insight with a newbee
