The vehicle has been stored 100% of the time in a fully enclosed garage with no windows since new. It has only 65,000 miles and has received all service exclusively at authorized Toyota dealerships. There has been no direct sun exposure, accident, or misuse.  Toyota dealer and Corporate attributed this to \u201csolar convergence\u201d and denied any repair assistance or goodwill coverage. This explanation does not match the facts given the garage setup and minimal outdoor time.  This appears to be a materials/design defect in the black plastic spoiler. Similar melting/warping issues are reported by other owners on Highlanders and RAV4s, even on low-mileage garaged vehicles. Dealer replacement quotes are typically $2,700+.  I request NHTSA investigate this recurring plastic failure as a potential defect in materials and workmanship.  Attachments (upload with form):  \u2022  Photos of the melted spoiler (multiple angles)  I am available for any additional information.  05 May 2026","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"HIGHLANDER","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
