We were finally able to fix the problem and the cost was....$0! Found some info online about how to take part of the dashboard off and reconnect the wires that enable the heat dial. Took all of 30 minutes and we did it ourselves. Below is the website we used as guidance. It looks like several people have had this problem and fixed it themselves. I am going to call Toyota USA and the dealership and raise some hell. Can't believe they would have taken $900 from us to replace the entire heating system when this is all it needed. The heat/ac work just fine now. Hope this helps. http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/highlander/32217-heater-quit-sort-of/

Thanks for that link eben1!
Another great source of info for a car that has so few problems. I bought the extended warranty and the posts about this $900 heater problem was a contributing reason.
I also bought the "money back on extended warranty if not used" and hoping to cash in on that. Have about 63,000 miles so far with no problems whatsoever.

How much was the warrant and was it a Toyota warranty or another company?

I just spoke with a service rep at the toyota dealer here in ft. wayne. He recommended against cleaning it. He said the "check engine" light would probably go on again "soon." Does anyone have any experience with having the AF sensor cleaned vs replaced (he's quoting me $322 for replacement)?

I have a 2005 highlander and just started hearing a clunking noise in the steering column. You mentioned that there is a fix for this. Could you pass along the details?
thanks

High pitched engine noise

I have '04 HL V6 2WD. It makes a high pitched engine noise, which starts at 70 mph, becomes worst at around 75 mph and goes away at around 80 mph. If I take the foot off the gas pedal at these speeds, it completely goes away, but comes back as soon as I put my foot back on the gas pedal.
Anyone know whats wrong with it?

I am somewhat memory-impaired but it seems like the extended warranty was maybe $1000 plus a couple of hundred more for the "money back if not used" part.
I found the warranty online and then my dealer matched the price. I didn't buy the extended warranty until I had about 30,000 miles on the car and was sure I'd be keeping it.

Hi, there. Same prob. here. I have a 2005 model Highlander and have notice this clunking when negotiating bends on roads. I'll definitely have it checked out at my next maintenance. It's still under warrantee.
You may wish to send me an e-mail so we can keep each other informed of the development.
