Seems as though you've proved that the Homelink memory is fine - it would be hard to believe that it would "lose" the memory selectively. The other remotes for their opener are being operated in between the times you use your Homelink. That's a clue right there. I'd re-do the Homelink set-up again. Maybe even try the rolling-code set-up. By the way, how would one know if one's GDO is a rolling-code type, anyway?

If it is not a rolling code type, it must be a fairly old opener as the rolling code has been the standard for many years. The opener still has to "learn" from the Homelink so I would certainly check the opener itself before assuming the Homelink is responsible. I have had several cars with the homelink system and four different GDOs and all have worked flawlessly after initial setup.
 
It definitely is not the "rolling code" type opener. The house was built in 1996 and the opener is identical to the one we have in our house.
Their's has worked "flawlessly from the setup four years ago. They began having trouble with it about 4 months ago.
Additionally, we have the Homelink on our Volvo. We have their garage code stored in the "2" button, and we have yet to lose the code.
This reinforces in my mind that the problem is with their Homelink transmitter, not the GDO.

I believe it's indicated in the Operations manual of the GDO (at least it was in theirs and ours).

I agree. Sorry, I hadn't caught the part about the flawless operation for 4 months. I've now got a clunky transmitter that works great, just big and ugly. Good luck with your Homelink.

No apologies required. I neglected to mention in my initial post that they've had no problems whatsoever for nearly four years until about 4 months ago.
Very puzzling.
Thanks for the sentiment.

flyingdoc,
    A year ago we decided to get rid of our problem plagued 2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL AWD.We did much research here on Edmunds for the most dependable problem free SUV's and narrowed the choices down to a Honda Pilot and a Toyota Highlander.After driving both the Pilot and Highlander the choice was the Highlander.
 
    We have owned our 2004 Highlander Limited AWD for nearly 11 months now.So far its had 13,000 trouble free miles and we have had absoluetly no hesitation problems.

hi Challenger,
 
  I have a 2002 highlander. Have a problem with car not turning on radomly. Warm or cold starts. If I give it gas after turning the ignition it will start but sometimes die out. Have taken it to 3 different mechanics with computer analysis and nobody can figure it out. All suggestions would be appreciated! thanks, Will
