Replying to: tahoe7 (Jan 17, 2005 7:22 am) 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) 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? |

For the automatic system the blower will not be activated until the engine water jacket temperature climbs to ~130F. Since any water jacket temperature above that of the passenger cabin will contribute some level of heating you can overcome this delay by manually activating the blower. Also remember that if you have not somehow disabled the A/C, c-best or...., all airflow, fresh or recirc., will first be CHILLED via passing through the A/C evaporator. These systems are also designed such that the persons most sensitive to too much hot airflow will not be discomforted. So, generally, it will help if you over-ride the automatic controls, turn the temperature setpoint up to max, until the passenger cabin is warmed to your liking, or the system airflow becomes too warm. |
