Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Purchased new toyota highlander 2005 model year in july 2005. vehicle was parked in driveway since. vehicle only has 23,000 miles. corrossion developed within 9 months of purchase in these areas: base of antenna, antenna mast, window frames, and aluminum or alloy wheels show bubbling in the surface that are increasing in size and diameter.**ak dealership and toyota were contacted to remedy problems with wheels without success. dealership repainted corroded windows. dealership and toyota claim corrosion is due to environment - i have had 2 other vehicles parked in the same location without visible signs of corrossion. i am concern that the continued expansion of the bubbles and corrossion on the wheels will create a safety hazard if it weakens the structural integrity of the whees.
