Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: A few months after the purchase of my new 2003 toyota highlander, it has developed a pronounced "ticking" sound within the engine. i am concerned that this could mean that a problem is developing, and it is also an annoying sound in an otherwise quiet vehicle. i am going to report this to toyota via their web site. this vehicle cost me almost $35k and i do not feel that this problem is insignificant nor should be ignored by the dealer. should i choose to sell the vehicle, i would suspect this will significantly lower the price i could ask and may even prevent me from unloading it altogether. *nm
