#3804 of 4840 noisy engine by garywi Nov 28, 2006 (1:05 pm)
Yes, my engine is rough. Please go drive and notice engine vibration in the steering wheel between 1800-2000 RPM. Also, notice the sloppy transmission shifting especially at lower speeds. My 07 goes into the shop this week.

Replying to: garywi (Nov 28, 2006 1:05 pm) Unfortunately the sloppy or hesitant transmission shifting has been around for some time now. Our 2004 V6 Limited had this malady from day one with no lasting fix. I hope you can learn to live with it. The rest of the vehicle was A1, except for a clunking noise in the steering column, but there is a fix for this.

Replying to: garywi (Nov 28, 2006 1:05 pm) Has anyone offered any explanation for the engine roughness? It is the old Camry engine. I don't see why there would be a difference. Replies to this message: garywi (Nov 30, 2006 6:57 pm)

Replying to: garywi (Nov 21, 2006 10:23 am) I purchased my '06 Highlander Jan. 2006. I have been reading about the transmission issues for months and have been having many of the shifting/upshifting/hesitating problems as other members have. I gave my tranny time to "learn" how I drive,I think 11 months is long enough.I took it to the dealer today, they called me 2 1/2 hours later to tell me that I needed a new transmission!! They gave me some vague answer as to what was wrong with it.They just said it was slipping or something. I am all freaked out about it so I asked all kinds of freaked out questions like:What does this do to the value of my vehicle? and the answer was that only me,the service writer and Toyota know I had a new transmission put in.Now that's an honest service writer. I asked if the tranny problem had any negative impact on my engine? No answer.I don't know if I should be up in arms about this or just shut up and hope the new tranny makes for a smoother ride.They said my new, not rebuilt tranny was coming from Jacksonville and would be installed Thursday.Any input would be appreciated.Thanks.

Replying to: izzo233 (Nov 28, 2006 6:06 pm) My take on this for whatever it is worth is................you are one fortunate Highlander Driver to get a brand new transmission. Think positive your transmission is 11 months newer than your Highlander. And it didn't cost you a dime since it was still under warranty. Enjoy your new transmission and hopefully you two will live happily ever after.

Replying to: izzo233 (Nov 28, 2006 6:06 pm) Wow, you really are worrying too much about this. If it were me, I'd be ecstatic, judging from how unhappy you were before. I seriously doubt a new tranny could have adversely affected the engine or will detract from the value at all.   My advice, be happy about it and hope the problems are fixed. If they aren't, then pursue a lemon law buy back case.

Replying to: suemedog (Nov 29, 2006 8:37 am) VSC/Trac off is a default when CEL is on. Nothing wrong with VSC/Trac system.
#3812 of 4840 Heat Module Replacement by eben1 Nov 30, 2006 (7:12 am)
Just found out my '01 Highlander needs the heating module replaced for almost $900. I had checked through some of the threads here and saw a few people have had this problem. Does anyone know if this is a problem with most of the 01's?
