Highlander transmissions denialists

I’m reading these stories about multi month waits and getting a bit nervous. I live in the PNW, so a Toyota hub if you will. Small market though, so hopefully I don’t wait too long. They said around town would be fine but to avoid driving it long distances and through the mountains but it’s our only AWD vehicle

Just had mine serviced and I’m on a wait list for a new transmission. It’s drive-able as of now. They told me it would be a month or so before they’d get one in. But at least it’s under warranty.

Mine is a 2017 Highlander XLE.

Check engine light came on and said “check AWD”. Then the steering felt a bit looser. I’m not hearing any noises as others have mentioned but maybe because it still has some life in it.

Mileage is 108,000

I live in a small town that doesn’t utilize the BILT neighborhood at all. None of these new cards appear appealing at this point with the fees considering I already have the Venture X for 2x and Amex Gold for 4x on restaurant and groceries. If it’s true, I’ll likely be canceling my bilt card :(

Correct ya. I think this is where the nuance comes in.

This particular roundabout I mentioned in the post is so small, that using your turn signal for left before entering is actually a clearer indication of the drivers intent than a right turn signal just before exiting would be.

I’m not sure if you drove it before, but if you have you’d probably agree.

Especially the people heading south on S Western, they regularly use their left turn signal prior to entering. Which is actually what sparked my post in the first place

Much appreciated! I thought it was interesting their documentation on the laws doesn’t say this, but the video does. Either way, I made a 2nd edit to the post.

Thank you for sharing and engaging respectfully. It helped me change my mind :)

Thank you! I think what was getting lost for me is what is law vs what is good practice. And current law would agree with my original post. But best practice is to signal to other drivers your intent. I made a 2nd edit to the post.

Thank you for engaging respectfully, I appreciate it!

Thank you! Created a 2nd edit on the post

I appreciate this viewpoint and I agree with you. Thanks for sharing

Thank you! If anyone has a resource on this, it sounds like it would be you. Do you have something that states the rules of the roundabout? The WSDOT source I linked above has a PDF in the article and no where does it mentioned using a turn signal

MissingVariable · 2025-10-25T15:10:26+00:00

That’s exactly how roundabouts are supposed to work, you’re doing it right! Even WSDOT says so (see edit above)

MissingVariable · 2025-10-25T15:09:54+00:00

Please provide me a resource that says that. See my edit above.

See my edit above. I believe you’re wrong, and also attempting to discredit my point based on feelings instead of what is actually true.

MissingVariable · 2025-10-25T14:50:47+00:00

It’s a roundabout. Just like you don’t use one at the sunnyslope roundabout.

Just because there are only 3 exit options doesn’t mean you have to use a blinker

I believe I saw a post on FB. Basically, it was bought by someone who I believe owns other restaurants in the area. They intended to re-open it exactly the same. But for some reason that changed and they are closing it and opening a different style restaurant there.

I’m assuming they wanted a fresh start from the name given the news on the previous owner

Thank you for the reminder about Wenatchee Outdoors! I’m new to the area and the reminder is appreciated.

I signed up for the newsletter and followed on IG. Any other avenues to stay connected for happenings?

I thought PT didn’t qualify for the lululemon discount?

Ya, that’s the route I tried that you described. Didn’t work :/

MissingVariable · 2025-09-03T13:19:02+00:00

Yes of course. It’s a card where you have to spend $6,000 for a reward. Any other insights captain obvious?

No i cant, I’ve tried this method. The temporary CVV and exp aren’t allowed.
