flb_78 Posted January 8, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 8, 2012 My concern would be about the battery. The battery is around $3000 +labor to replace it. There also may be potential problems with the inverter. http://www.edmunds.com/toyota/highlander-hybrid/2006/consumer-discussions.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted January 8, 2012 Share #3 Posted January 8, 2012 My daughter and her husband is looking at them for the mileage claim is pretty darn good for a sport utility. Like to know the pros and cons of this vehicle. My oldest owns one. 2008 I think?? She likes it a lot, and gets good gas mileage... I drove it once for about 40 miles. Couldn't move, but was able to step on the gas pedal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Posted January 8, 2012 Share #4 Posted January 8, 2012 I own a 2001 Prius because, for some reason, I wanted a Hybrid. Never again!!! The potential costs of repair and the repair costs all starting at $3000.00 is not worth the little you will save over an efficient gas or diesel car and driving smart. I was confronted with a $4000.00 dollar estimate at the stealer-ship just a month ago. New traction Battery (3100.00) and a new mass flow ($300.00). I read up on the web and after a week I ,at least temporarily, repaired my traction battery and picked up a can of Mass flow senser cleaner and cleaned it. All this for $600.00. :mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money::mo money: All Toyota traction batteries before 2010 are not very good. The batteries will most likely fail after 150,00km. The 12v battery cost close to $200.00 Just my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
