#10901 of 10945 Re: 07, 4 cylinder, AWD Question [andrelaplume] by typesix May 07, 2008 (5:09 pm)
Replying to: andrelaplume (May 05, 2008 5:33 am) 4 cyl AWD also has different gearing than 2wd, the AWD version spins engine faster at highway speeds.
#10902 of 10945 Tranny fluid by jackmick656 May 08, 2008 (4:18 pm)
Checked the tran fluid for the first time in years., ( 03 V6 HL 33,500 miles ) and the fluid color was mud brown in color. So to be on the safe side I took the HL to the local Toyota dealer and had the tranny flushed for $149 and had the radiator flushed fot $99. I plan to keep the Vehicle for at least 10 years so I guess it is time to start pumping $ into her. This is the first $ I have had to spend outside of oil changes and filters. Tires next.
#10903 of 10945 Power Outlet Fuses by staygood Jun 04, 2008 (9:04 am)
Finally determined that fuses for the three power outlets are in the fuse box under the dash. The 10 amp fuse is for the outlet on the "dash" (Outlet No. 1) and the 20 amp fuse is for the outlet on the console (outlet No. 2) plus the outlet in the cargo compartment. Still do not know what the fuse in the engine compartment marked "P/Outlet" is for. Plan to visit the Toyota dealer in Augusta, GA, tomorrow and ask.   I am hoping to provide 12 volts to the cargo area power outlet full time, but need to understand the wiring first. None of the wiring in the compartment in the left rear is "hot" with the ignition switch off.

Replying to: skutflut (Jun 12, 2005 2:06 pm) Did you ever find out the problem w/ your HL ? I have the same vehicle and problem. Around 72,000 miles Toyota did a 'goodwill' fix. (extended warranty was up at 70,000 and in April). Noticed oil consumption problem in May. Had an oil chg Feb 2007. Early April it was the PCV valve and then more issues after that. Finally Sept 2007 they told me they were going to re-build the engine. I thought they did it, but now that the same issue is occuring at 82,000 miles, I find out that they just re-rung the rings in the cylinders. I've had 4 more monitoring checks with various oil usage. Researching a little on the internet and monitoring where, how fast and far I go, it is at 65 mph plus and hour or longer trips that it consumes oil. All in town driving is fine. Toyota said I never had an oil sludge problem. Right now they said if it is the #2 cylinder ring, they would cover it. If not, I would have to cover the repair since it was a 'goodwill' fix. I've done all the maintenance and was planning on keeping it for 13 - 15yrs. (I had my Honda Accord for 13.5 yrs and never had any issue except upkeep maintenance) I feel as if they should fix it since there are problems out there and they didn't fix it right the first time - even thou it was done as 'goodwill'. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.   loadlor
#10905 of 10945 Response to #10904-Oil consumption by jackmick656 Jun 22, 2008 (10:30 am)
A "Goodwill repair" is exactly that, a one time evaluation and attempt to resolve a problem. Toyota is not liable after the repair is completed unless the vehicle is still under warranty. I went through the same problem with Nissan Corp.on a vibration problem on a 1994 Maxima. The problem was never resolved, no matter how many phone calls I made to customer service. The best advice I can give to you is be persistent with customer service if you still feel strongly about your problem. If they wont budge, unload the vehicle, preferably to a Toyota dealer. That puts the problem back in Toyota's lap.

#10908 of 10945 08 highlander with XM- question about options by mdewitt23 Aug 26, 2008 (6:12 am)
My wife and I just bought a new highlander with XM in it, and we are both Sirius subscribers. I was told there was nothing they could do since it was factory installed, but I have a hard time buying that- is that true? Thanks. Replies to this message: nvbanker (Aug 26, 2008 9:55 am)

Replying to: mdewitt23 (Aug 26, 2008 6:12 am) I also prefer Sirius - but at this time, I know of no patch to let you have one over the other that is factory installed.
#10910 of 10945 03 Highlander V6 timing belt by dawells Aug 27, 2008 (10:24 am)
My wife drives a 2003 highlander and recently while getting the car serviced the mechanic advised her to have the timing belt changed. The car has been driven 66,000 miles and typically the belt would be replaced at 90,000. The mechanic said that because the car is five years old there is a possibility that the belt has become cracked. Accepting comments on whether this is a scare tactic to drum up business or does in fact the age of the belt make a difference! Thanks.
