Replying to: KarenS (May 29, 2001 9:33 am) Hi! I am proud owner of new 2005 Highlander. Only one problem or non-problem in the few days i have owned it. When driving, i feel a slight vibration in the steering wheel. Is this to be expected for this kind of vehicle? Am i being picky? (2WD 6 cyl.)

It would not be all that unusual to have a defective front tire shipped from the factory.   If the vibration occurs during cruise have the front wheels moved to the back, if during braking have the front brake rotors checked. Replies to this message: desertguy (Jan 15, 2005 10:15 am)

Replying to: wwest (Jan 15, 2005 7:45 am) Or....I just bought a two yr old car from a top tier dealer who does a 104 point check on each car that he keeps to sell. After noticing steering wheel vibration, I checked the tires. The left front was 55 lbs, the other three were exactly 20 lbs.!!! Put 30 in all and no more vibration. So much for his 104 point check huh.

Replying to: ecotrklvr (Jan 04, 2005 7:48 pm) The low tire pressure light came on again the other day. According to the owner's manual, the vehicle has to be driven for about 5 minutes in order to detect low pressure. My wife, who's the driver, works about a mile from my house and not until she runs errands is she driving it long enough. Sooooo, it's going in to the shop.

Replying to: mikefm58 (Jan 15, 2005 11:59 am) mikefm58 - sorry to hear that! Please let us know how this drama unfolds. Hopefully, it's something they can correct easily. BTW, have you tried the battery-disconnecting reset? Replies to this message: mikefm58 (Jan 19, 2005 4:32 am) ecotrklvr (Jan 19, 2005 8:27 am) mikefm58 (Jan 19, 2005 6:13 pm)

Replying to: tahoe7 (Jan 17, 2005 7:22 am) No official fix has been issued.   However, some drivers (like myself) haven't noticed the hesitation. I have an 04 AWD V6 Limited.   Your best bet is to go drive one for yourself. If the hesitation issue is there, you'll probably notice it right away.

Replying to: tahoe7 (Jan 17, 2005 7:22 am) You may want to check out the Engine Hesitation (all makes and models) discussion that the hosts have set up (referenced in the sidebar of this discussion or found by doing a search for "hesitation). Based on the Pittsburgh Post Gazette article, they were still looking for a fix in December.

Replying to: tahoe7 (Jan 17, 2005 7:22 am) No opinion on the Magnum, but wouldn't hesitate to buy the Pilot, wish I had.   As many others, we have a 2004 hesitating Highlander that Toyota won't fix, only recourse is to take a big $ hit in arbitration or Lemon Law filing. If they wanted to, they could fix it now since a) it's reported canadian models don't have the problem and b) they're engineers have had at least a year to figure it out.   Bottom line--Why pay $30-35 grand for a car with a known problem the manufacturer won't fix?
