Which Toyota Highlander Years Should I Avoid?

Wasup guys… I am looking for a used Toyota Highlander and have been doing some research on different model years. While I’ve heard generally good things about the Highlander, I’ve also come across mentions of certain years having more issues than others.

Can anyone share their experiences or knowledge on which years of the Toyota Highlander I should avoid? I’m looking for information on common problems or significant issues with specific model years that I should be aware of before making a purchase.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated…

The first generation of Highlanders (2001–2007) has model years that you should stay away from (2001 and 2005). Expensive concerns, like needing engine or transmission repairs, are significant.
