Take it how you will but at the Seattle auto show when I brought up the hesitation issue not one of the 3 or 4 Toyota represenatives/salespersons in earshot seemed to "question" the issue. Several even chimed in with their own customer experiences. Their expressions seemed to indicate "resigned to frustration" IMMHO. |

the germans caught it from the Japanese. Part of the Japanese culture is to die rather than confess to mistakes, "live without honor". |

Our 01 V6 AWD Limited has been largely trouble-free except since last summer. Intermittently there is a strange noise coming from the cargo area or liftgate of the vehicle. The noise can manifest itself when the car is moving, or stopped with engine on, or stopped with engine off and key off. The noise can be described like "a liquid flowing through a tube," a "variable wooshing sound," or "video game sound effects." It is best heard by rear seat passengers. The noise can be heard for minutes at a time, even after the engine is shut off. As time passes, the noise becomes fainter and intermittent: noise . . . silence . . . noise . . . silence, and finally silence. If I open the liftgate it usually stops, either instantly or within several seconds. In general the noise will come and go, sometimes it's there for several days in a row, sometimes it is not heard for weeks. I searched the HL forums here and did not find where the issue has been previously reported. Thanks for any assistance, brgsmith |
