hard to believe it would make any difference in mileage
#2326 of 4696 Noise by grahampeters Jan 22, 2005 (8:22 pm)
G'day   Whilst not wishing to appear rude, I cannot help noticing that there is much huffing and puffing regarding the engine hesitation issue that could far more sensibly be directed to the specific board that has been created for it. I am likely to create further discord by noting that the majority of these posts reflect fear of the problem rather than an actual issue.   It is very difficult to identify those posts which are for non hesitation issues.   Could I please add my voice to the hosts in suggesting that this issue be dealt with in an appropriate place (ie the board given over to it)   Thank you   Graham

Astute input from "middle earth" Graham, and you're correct in observing that there seems to be mostly huffing, puffing, and speculating about the issue than anything else. There doesn't seem too be much difference (nor anything new either)at the proper board as well. I ceased input at either board for that reason. No point rehashing the same things day after day. Where are you at and what's your ride in NZ?
#2329 of 4696 Greetings from Oz by grahampeters Jan 23, 2005 (1:41 pm)
G'day   Close but you don't get the cigar!   I am in Melbourne, Australia and am currently driving a 99 Subaru Outback which is starting to need money spent regularly. I would buy another Outback but the kids have got to that stage where they constantly seem to have more friends along than we have car seats. Hence, I am just off to buy a Kluger (Highlander to you).   I have been a regular poster on the Subaru Boards for the last five or so years and have beenlooking through the Highlander boards to pick up on common problems. Fortunately those issues which seem to cause greatest concern on these pages are acceptable to me. We tested the noise from travellling with the rear window open and found it acceptable.   Handling is a bit unexciting compared to the Outback but overall the Kluger looks like a good buy. I'll update more on the Highlander boards if I do get one   Cheers   Graham

Sorry about the error Graham. I focussed on the Southern Cross and didn't notice the star under the Union Jack. No excuses from the Great White North, right? You can't go too far wrong with the Highlander in my opinion, and evidently the opinion of most owners hereabouts. This hesitation problem being fussed about isn't nearly as big an issue as advertised, so don't be unduly alarmed by what amounts to a tempest in a teapot. Good luck, and very best regards from this Canuck. Your Country is great!! Replies to this message: wbay (Jan 24, 2005 7:43 pm)

Replying to: pilot130 (Jan 24, 2005 6:31 am) If you're an agressive driver, the hesitation may annoy you. If not, you'll probably never notice it.   Mercifully, here's another topic, sort of. What records are produced when one goes through the arbitration process? Something Carfax picks up? In other words, if I go through the arbitration process and the outcome is not to my satisfaction, so I decide to sell, who knows about the arbitration process?

Replying to: glennf (Jan 18, 2005 10:01 am) Haven't had a chance to get dealer to take a look. I notice that on a -20C, it takes about 5 min. to actually feel the warm air coming out (with recirc and medium fan). Not sure if that's normal, but in my old Acura EL, it took a min or two to heat up...

#2334 of 4696 Homelink problem by 1sttimevolvo1 Jan 28, 2005 (3:21 pm)
I searched the forum prior to asking this, and didn't find post relating to it.    My inlaws own a 2001 Highlander V6 AWD. They've been extremely pleased with it and have really put it to good use. 1 trip up to Nova Scotia and throughout the NE of Canada, 1 trip through 10 states out west, and another trip to Canada planned this year.    My question is about the Homelink unit. About 4 months ago, the unit would lose it's memory setting for their garage after about a week or so, yet the link stored for our garage is retained.    I tried storing their garage in the 1 and the 3 slot, but end up with the same result - after about a week, Homelink loses the signal. Ours, however, still remains stored in slot 2. I suggested he take it to the dealer, but he fears it'll cost more than he wants to spend, so he uses the unit that came with the opener.    Anyone experience this, and if so, how was it rectified?    Thanks.
