An independent mechanic examined the vehicle and deteremined that the noise is well documented. After conducting research, I found that the issue is caused by improper assembly and the only repair is a complete replacement of the transmission.  I also discovered that there is a recall on the 2017-2019 Toyota Highlander due to the 8 speed transmission which is also used in my vehicle.  The idea that the 2019-2022 Toyota Highlanders are NOT included in this recall is completely unreasonable.  These vehicles utilize the same 8-speed transmission and the whining noise tends to surface after 60, 000 miles - about four to five years based on useage.  The whining noise began without warning or symptoms. The vehicle drove without issues and we intended on driving this vehicle into retirement considering the reputation Toyota had on building reliable vehicles.  I will never purchase or recommend the purchase of a Toyota vehicle!  The idea that repeated transmission failures, without an univeral recall for all years affected, shows that the comsumer is not respected.  I would enjoy understanding the logic and data that enabled Toyota to limit the recall to just three production year when the 8-speed transmission spanned six years of production (2017-2022).  I am now forced to look into replacing the transmission with potentionally another faulty, improperly assembled 8-speed transmission.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"HIGHLANDER","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
