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!!

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? |

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.

Howdy all Highlander owners, It has been a while since I posted anything here so bear with me. My wife has a 2004 Highlander V6 4WD Automatic. We have had really good luck with the vehicle until today, as she was leaving Walmart she noticed that the slip detection light started flashing, then it started beeping then then the brakes came on and well she freaked. I took the thang for a test drive and was unable to go above 25 mph. The antilock brakes kept kicking in and the dash kept beeping and flashing and it was shakin and I freaked. I called the local dealership and they are towing in to have a look at it. It would appear that the computer thinks the tires are slipping and it is trying to correct the for it. I tried to go above 25 and with my foot still on the gas it literally brought the car to a stop. It only has 11000 on it and any problems should be covered, I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this problem. So uh has anyone else had this problem? Thank you Starrider |
