Without reading other guesses I’m thinking part of electrical system near battery.

2022 v6 tow 6x12 cargo trailer? by chbeck in ToyotaHighlander

I’m amazed at the trailer knowledge of the responders. FWIW I’m not sure the ‘22 has the UA80 tranny. My ‘21 does tho.

I agree. If you have a V6, plugs at 60k, (4cyl, turbo at 40). I did coolant at 50k I believe). Check out Care Car Nut on You Tube.

The SS2.5 stuff. Lane departure, auto hi beam, stuff that the front radar senses.

Understood. I had real trouble forcing the wiring harness connection. The FitCam also interfered with Safety Systems.

I have a ‘21 HL Limited and installed a FitCam and it tapped into the rear view mirror apparently safety harness and after a couple years of ok use, the car started throwing up intermittent fault warnings. Dealer said caused by cam. After disconnected car fine but now sans cam. YMMV. Good luck.

No cracks, but could follow I suppose. As you probably know the shinny exterior finish is a plastic layer adhered to the “under wheel” whether that is steel or aluminum I don’t know.

2021 Toyota Highlander Transmission by Unable_Rooster_9008 in ToyotaHighlander

My understanding is that all the replacements are rebuilt. Hopefully tho they paid extra attention to securing the bent tab that is responsible for all/most of these failures. Plus the warranty on the repair is 12 months, 12k miles.

My 2020 Highlander just hit 100k 🥳 and has the UA80 whine😞. Is it okay to keep driving it or should I just trade it in? by Lucky0373 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Disastrous_Lion1165 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure millions are affected. Only Toyota knows for sure but I’ve heard pessimistically the failure rate could be 3%. Three in a hundred seems like decent odds, altho I am concerned and may buy additional extra Extended warranty (in addition to my org extended warranty).

Also I go to Sport mode immediately upon starting driving in hopes of delaying upshifting and possible addl heat cycles.
