The 2012 Toyota Highlander comes equipped with a timing chain. If you need to replace the timing chain tensioner, the estimated cost is typically between $2,045 and $2,523. Labor costs range from $1,797 to $2,264, while parts can cost between $258 and $270. Engine problems may arise with issues such as oil leaks, loose gaskets needing tightening, spark plug issues, excessive oil consumption leading to more frequent oil changes, and the serious risk of engine overheating which could potentially result in fires or the vehicle exploding. It is essential to address these engine issues promptly.
