Consumer Description
2009 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER CLEARANCE BETWEEN BOTH REAR "SHOCK BASE PLATE" AND BOTH REAR TIRES ARE TOO CLOSE. EVERY TIME WHEN YOU HIT A "BUMP", BOTH REAR TIRES ARE HITTING THE "REAR SHOCK BASE PLATE". THIS WILL DAMAGE BOTH REAR TIRES AND CAUSE ACCIDENT !! DEFECTIVE ENGINEERING DESIGN !! TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL ALL HIGHLANDERS WITH THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGN !!! YOU DON'T WANT TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN THEN MAKE A MANDATORY RECALL. THANKS FOR READING MY MESSAGE AND CONCERN OF SAFETY FOR ALL HIGHLANDER OWNERS. *TR
