Sometimes, the 2017 Highlanders liftgate can be hard to work with. It can get stuck, fail to latch properly and lose power on occasion. In fact, A-A-Classction lawsuit was filed against Toyota alleging that the liftgate was inherently defective in this model. If Your liftgate isnt working, You can try resetting it. Open the liftgate and then, push and hold down the close button. Keep it held down until You hear the liftgate beep four times. This should reset it. If that doesnt work, it may have lost power. This is a common issue, and is rectified by identifying the loose wiring using the schematic and fixing it.
