These alerts included \"Hybrid system malfunction\" \"All Wheel Drive malfunction,\" \"Check engine.  See dealer,\" and finally something akin to \"Find a safe place to pull over and turn off vehicle.\"  Until these alerts appeared, back-to-back-to-back, there were no indications that there was anything wrong with the car.  We were fortunate enough to be both close to home and close to a dealership when this happened and were able to bring the car in right away.  If we were in a high traffic situation, or, conversely, in a very rural area (specifically in winter, not an unlikely happening for us), having the car's drive system suddenly fail out of nowhere could have been very dangerous.     As I said, we were able to get the car to the dealer soon after.  The dealership informed us that the car has a coolant system perforation, more than likely from a rock penetrating the grill.  The coolant than leaked, causing the hybrid system/other failures the car noted.    I have since done some research on this issue and have found, to my dismay and disappointment, that this isn't an uncommon issue with the Grand Highlander and the Highlander.  There are many instances of people on social media saying a similar issue happened with their cars - one other person's dealership quoted them the exact same amount of the repair that our dealership did.  In fact, this is such a common issue that there is apparently already an established workaround:  other owners have ordered aluminum mesh from third party vendors and have zip-tied it to their grills in order to keep the rocks out.    This is an absurd thing to have to do.  Consumers should not, in the year 2026, have to drive down the road with concern that a loose pebble will put their car out of commission.  Cars should be able to withstand this very common occurrence without taking substantial damage.  This seems like a design flaw.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"GRAND HIGHLANDER","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
