Are you sure you want to do that? I drive a lot by my self and I don't always remember to lock the door back after I take off. I don't want to be driving around town with all the door's unlocked nor do I want my wife to. And I know she won't remember to re-Lock all the door's when she's driving by her self. So it's better to just have one door unlocked. at least for me.............................. |

Just FYI, for those with low (or high) idle-speed problems: After cleaning the Idle Speed Control Valve on Wednesday evening, I took a 500-mile banzai run to Vegas and back. I left at 5:30am Thursday morning, and just got back 5:30pm Friday night. Results my ISCV experiment - it's like new. Much better than I thought it would be. I left the throttle stop per factory specs, and no low speed idle problems, no high-speed idle problems, no cold-start problems (at least at Las Vegas morning temperatures of 40'F)- just a normal higher-for-awhile after the cold start, then about 2 minutes later, back to about 700RPM. So far, it's cured.

HI: I bought a 2005 4-Cyl FWD Highlander a few weeks ago. So far so good (if you can say that with 400 miles on a car), however, at warm idle I notice a vibrating sound when I step on the brake. I think it might be coming from the booster or possibly the air cleaner assembly which appears to be kind of loose. Has anyone else experienced this? Is the air filter assemble supposed to float in it's holder? I notice a plastic piece at the bottom. I'd hate to take the vehicle to the dealer for something that might be trivial or normal. Regards and safe driving to all, Ken

I notice there is no mention in the maintenance scedule about changing the fuel filter. Has anyone seen a fuel filter on a Highlander? If so please tell us where it is. Thanks.

Replying to: jackmick656 (Feb 05, 2005 5:07 pm) some top toyota forums run by ex service advisors say adamantly to NEVER change the filter.

Replying to: edh (Feb 06, 2005 3:52 am) I got the same answer from one toyota service manager. He told me the fuel filter doesn't need to be replace unless I am having trouble with my car (which I don't have any problem at all 97 Camry  110k miles and 01 HL 90K miles) On the other hand, another toyota dealer didn't explained to me at all but just telling me it will cost about $250 (if I remember correctly) to have it replace on my Camry |

Replying to: dan bitman (Feb 01, 2005 10:21 am) I got it last yr at 79K miles on it. I put about 10K and no problem at all. I have not seen problem like most others in this board. Car still runs and sounds great. You can't really tell it actually have about 89K miles right now. I don't know your driving condition but in Seattle, we have snow once or twice in the winter time and the 2WD has a "snow mode". In my opinion, it doesn't do anything at all. Just like putting your car in 2nd gear. I still couldn't get out of my driveway. If that's not an issue, I think the 2WD is more valuable than the V6. But keep in mind, it's a 4, not V6 so don't expect too much on the power side. But it works for us. My wife drives that car with my baby and it get a little better gas mileage over the V6. Overall, she likes it and it's a keeper for now. |

I have a 2003 V6 AWD LTD, with 39,000 miles. I am trying to trouble-shoot a braking issue. When braking gently, I can feel the car slow down but it seems like the car is surging (like the pads are gripping on high spots on the rotor). Also - if braking moderately at freeway speeds. The steering wheel will pulse (just like it feels with an unbalanced tire), but my tires are balanced. The pulsing seems to match the wheel rpm. Also, the surging matches the wheel rpm (as the vehicle slows, so does the surging). I have used a dial indicator on the rotors and they are +/- 0.001" run out. This is when they are cool. It could be worse when they are hot. Today, it was raining, and I noticed the effect was less when the brakes were cold. Could I have the dreaded "warped rotor" condition, or is it something else?. Anybody have this problem and how was it resolved. I am about to spend $150 on a pair or rotors and another $45 on a set of brake pads. I don't trust the dealer to work on my car. Thanks
