#10831 of 10948 Tire Replacement by tombuchta1 Sep 19, 2007 (3:04 pm)
I've had a tire vandalized and it cant be repaired. Has anyone had any experience with replacing a single tire? Just wondering if the tire dealer (or Toyota) will recommend replacing at least 2. Thanks
#10832 of 10948 Tire by billran Sep 19, 2007 (4:28 pm)
tom,   I have a 2005 that has had that happen twice. The first time I only had about 6000 miles on it and I took it to a tire store. They replaced the tire (it is the Michelin Energy) for about $100 total. The second time I had about 25K miles on the car and what I had them do is replace that tire and then put the spare (which was still new) on the other wheel, so again just $100. With the two new tires and rotations I am close to 40K miles now and still looking good.
#10833 of 10948 Toyota Highlander Oil Consumption by barry18 Sep 30, 2007 (9:15 am)
I have a 2001 Highlander with 72,000 miles which I purchased new. Recently I have had to add oil between changes, usually after highway trips. Typically this is a quart about every 1,000 miles. Car has had regular Toyota dealer oil changes since new and does not smoke and no oil residue in tailpipe. Any ideas? Thanks.

Replying to: barry18 (Sep 30, 2007 9:15 am) Most of the manufacturers consider oil usage of 1000 miles per quart normal although it is high by today's standards. Obviously the engine is not as tight was it was when new and highway speeds use more than city driving.

Replying to: ch1133 (Jan 31, 2007 12:40 pm) I have exactly the same problem have you or anyone figured out what causing the rattling? I too have also removed the radio and climate controls and foamed practically everything in there and still the rattle is still there.

Replying to: olander (Oct 03, 2007 10:43 am) Your rattle might not originate from same place as mine. In my case the rattle came from the large black plastic cover that is mounted below the wiper blades on the outside of the windshield. It was rattling only slightly and at various times. You need to lift up the large black plastic where there is a small piece of rubber at the top and insert thin rubber pieces at few places along entire length where plastic comes into contact with windshield.

Replying to: ch1133 (Oct 04, 2007 7:54 pm) Probably not the same rattle as mentioned above, but I've been trying to find a rattle for a year in our '03 dash. Seemed like it was coming from the speedometer area, and only did it on rough roads.   FINALLY found it (not yet fixed it tho): it's the plastic cowling in the back of the steering wheel, behind the airbag, around the column.   Since it doesn't happen often, I'm putting off disassembly of the steering wheel because I've never dealt with airbags and heard the scare stories.   Anybody have suggestions?   Phil

Replying to: ch1133 (Oct 04, 2007 7:54 pm) Mine is definitely coming from the back of the climate controls. I recently had my windshield replaced and they installed new rubber moldings around the black plastic area you are reffering too. So I don't think I'm getting any rattling there but thanks for your tip though good to know just in case.

Replying to: ch1133 (Jan 31, 2007 12:40 pm) G'day   Radio rattle is the worst problem I have had with my Kluger (Highlander) and ultimately traced to a loose nut actually insude the radio cassette/CD unit. Replaced under warranty. Suggest getting someone else to drive and localise noise from there. You can usually get an engine stethoscope from a good auto parts dealer which does help locate odd rattles   Cheers   Graham Replies to this message: herzogtum71 (Oct 22, 2007 5:28 am)

Replying to: barry18 (Sep 30, 2007 9:15 am) Replace the PCV valve. The Highlander had a problem with oil sludge and causes the PCV vavle to be become glogged. At highway speeds the oil is sucked into the cylinder and burned (no smoke because of the converter and the speed doesn't allow it to be seen). The dealer wanted to pull my engine and overhaul it, I read about thin on a website and it cost $5.00 to fix the problem. Just for insurance I have the valve replaced with most oil changes now.
