#3862 of 4692 Steering wheel clunking by johnjeho Jan 05, 2007 (11:18 am)
Replying to: matthew (Dec 29, 2006 8:57 am) 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.

Replying to: johnjeho (Jan 05, 2007 11:18 am) i am taking it in for service on 1/11. I will keep you posted. BTW, I asked the service mgr if he has seen this before, he said yes, they replace the steering column and it is not a safety issue.

#3865 of 4692 Oil Light went on and now a clanking from engine by sdj18394 Jan 05, 2007 (8:34 pm)
I have a 2002 Highlander. As I was driving down the highway, my oil light began to blink on and off. I added a quart of oil when I got home. 3 days later, oil light and check engine light come on at same time. Also, knocking noise coming from engine. Help!! Any thoughts before I take it in?

Replying to: vlahosn (Jan 18, 2002 8:45 pm) Hello, What did you do to fix the rear seat clicking noises? I have a 2001 and I haven't been able to determine where the noises are coming from and they're quite irritating... I hope you get this message, as I see your original post was 4 years ago... Thank you
#3867 of 4692 Highlander check engine light by kenabr Jan 06, 2007 (8:52 pm)
I have a 2002 V6 AWD with 102,000 miles on it. The check engine light came on and we took it to the dealer the same day. The service department says that the diagnostic showed no clear cause? They want to change my spark plugs($240) clean the ejectors, and of course charge me ($130)for the diagnostic for a total of about $475. I feel I'm getting ripped. How could spark plugs or ejectors give me a check engine light? Should I disconnect the battery myself to clear the light which is what I expect they will do? I probably do need plugs after 102k but do ejectors get dirty with modern gasoline additives to keep them clean?

Replying to: kenabr (Jan 06, 2007 8:52 pm) Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and DRIVE away from that dealer, RAPIDLY!

Replying to: gencon (Dec 03, 2006 8:19 pm) Another dealer changed front driver side bearing/house( for $500 under warranty). Now the siren noise comes down a bit, but still there. May be the passenger side should also fixed. Very upset for such noise to my new car. I should do more test drive upon buying

Replying to: kenabr (Jan 06, 2007 8:52 pm) Don't know where to post my question so I'm tagging on here. I recently purchased (CARMAX) a 2005 4WD Highlander. MX book indicates certain service requirements every 5,000 miles, including oil change. Every vehicle I owned previously, oil changes were to be done at 3,000 miles. Do you folks use the 5,000 mile rule?

Replying to: eamonn1 (Jan 10, 2007 11:04 am) You can't go wrong following the owners manual. 5000 miles is sufficient with todays oils. Many cars have been stretched to 7,500 and even 10,000 for Jaguar and BMW and others. If you continue to do it at 3,000 you are a service depts. delight and you are wasting resources.
