Toyota Highlander Lemon Odds and Nada Odds

Toyota Highlander Lemon Odds and Nada Odds:

Other sources of Toyota Highlander reliability information provide only averages, which can conceal as much as they reveal. So we also report the percentage of Toyota Highlanders with no repairs at all in the past year and the percentage of Toyota Highlanders that are lemons (required three or more repair trips in the past year). These figures might surprise you.

These stats are promptly updated four times a year, to closely track Toyota Highlander lemon odds as the cars age. Others can be over a year behind. Only TrueDelta tells you how reliable the Toyota Highlander has been recently.

Toyota Highlander Lemon Odds and Nada Odds through March 31, 2013

General NotesNote the sample sizes in the right column. For a precise Nada Odds, it'd be best to have 50+ cars. For Lemon Odds, 100+. In most cases the sample sizes are between 25 and 35, and differences of less than six points are probably not meaningful. This is especially a factor with the "Lemon Odds," where nearly all scores are low.

That said, the Lemon Odds figures are probably much lower than many people suspected, so we've posted them. Similarly, the Nada Odds are probably higher than many people suspected. Even with the least reliable cars in this results set your odds of no repairs would be better than one in three. Surprised? MethodologyThe samples include cars for which we have at least nine months of data in the past year. The "Nada-odds" are adjusted based on the average number of months of data per car. These stats are very close to what they'd be if we included only cars with a full year of data.

Only successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Recalls and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

What Our Members Are Saying about Brand Reputation and the Toyota Highlander

Brand Reputation of the Toyota Highlander: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Toyotas are reputed to be bulletproof and that was our experience with a 1994 Previa minivan
2007 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid
CVT FWD		 This is my 3rd Toyota/Lexus. What else can I say, they are great cars/appliances. Although not a styling icon, Toyota/Lexus knows how to build what most people want/need in a reliable good quality vehicle.
2006 4dr SUV 215-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Not much to say, Toyota has made great products. So many people I talk to discuss the fact that they have over 150K miles of maintenance only repairs.
2006 4dr SUV 208-horsepower 3.3L V6 Hybrid
CVT AWD		 Previous Toyota SUV lasted 25+ years with great performance and low maintenance. The new vehicle was the first affordable hybrid SUV available to the public.
2004 4dr SUV 230-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Well...up until the issues with cars accelerating on their own their reputation was untarnished. Still...very few cars exhibit this trait so I still would buy another one.
