 Took my new Highlander (with 2300 miles on it) on vacation to Hilton Head Island -after arrival, started hearing a roaring noise from left rear tire area - stopped by Toyota dealership and they discovered the wheel bearing needed to be replaced.Had to delay my scheduled return home for a couple of days, thus putting me into the midst of a tropical storm.Very inconvenient and frightening.After all the research I conducted before purchasing a new car, I was shocked that I became stranded while on vacation in my brand new car.Needless to say, I feel uncomfortable about driving this car for a long distance again.
