#3879 of 4699 Re: Steering wheel clunking [matthew] by toyotagal Jan 12, 2007 (7:36 am)
Replying to: matthew (Jan 12, 2007 5:07 am) Way to go, Matthew! You know what they say about the squeeky wheel. And we do have to "squeek" from time to time to get someone to pay attention to our concerns.   I just love it when the Dealership often reports back to me that they heard it to but that is just "normal" for that vehicle..................ROFLOL
#3880 of 4699 Rear wiper blade by michaelp1 Jan 13, 2007 (9:40 am)
Hello, 2005 Highlander owner here. The car has been great for two years, 22,000 miles (only had that acceleration issue once, and to be honest it probably saved me since I should not have been accelerating at that point!)   Question on the rear wiper. I had the dealer replace all blades last year as part of regular service and was never really happy with the quality - streaky and squeaky. I just replaced the front driver / passenger with Bosch Excel, and they work great - but I'm stuck on the rear. Can the whole blade body be replaced like the front, or is it just an insert like the older cars I used to have. Is there any way to pull the rear wiper more than an inch from the glass? (I can't imagine why it was designed that way) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.   Mike Replies to this message: desertguy (Jan 13, 2007 12:45 pm)

Replying to: michaelp1 (Jan 13, 2007 9:40 am) This is for a Rav4 but I imagine it will apply to the Highlander as well. Probably more info than you want to know:   http://free-zg.t-com.hr/AlanV/pdf/RearWiperRubber.pdf   There is a plastic cap you remove in order to raise the blade higher.
#3882 of 4699 Engine Noise by beeks5 Jan 15, 2007 (4:42 pm)
I have a '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? Please HELP!!!   Replies to this message: wwest (Jan 16, 2007 9:40 am)

#3884 of 4699 brake pedal by garywi Jan 16, 2007 (9:51 am)
">Anyone have a problem with the distance between the gas pedal and brake pedal? I measured and it's over 4 inches. My Corolla it's 2.5 inches. I am having some custom alum. pedal covers made to bring the brake pedal over to the right.

garywi,   Did you ever find the cause of the driveline vibration that you were getting between 1800 and 2000 RPM? I am also getting it but I have no confidence that if I tell the dealer that they will even acknowledge it.

Replying to: tomd (Jan 17, 2007 6:00 am) Hi Tom,   I had an appt with a Toyota field rep for next week, but I have to travel unexpectedly for business. My appt will be early Feb.   I would say keep getting the word out on the problem. There is no reason a $31K Toyota should vibrate through the steering wheel. Not only is it bothersome as these vehicals are of the "highest" quality, but vibration kills or slowly breaks down electrical components. My entire steering column vibrates. What will that do long term to all the components in that steering column?   Gary Replies to this message: tomd (Jan 17, 2007 6:51 am) ajdezso (Jan 28, 2007 3:45 pm) matthew (Jan 28, 2007 5:06 pm) tomd (Jan 29, 2007 6:41 am) garywi (Jan 29, 2007 7:23 am) ajdezso (Jan 29, 2007 2:37 pm) brentarino (Jan 29, 2007 7:33 pm) ajdezso (Jan 30, 2007 6:38 pm) ggurr54 (Jan 30, 2007 5:27 pm) garywi (Jan 30, 2007 6:05 pm) tomd (Jan 31, 2007 6:58 am) and 6 more... brentarino (Jan 30, 2007 6:57 pm)

Replying to: garywi (Jan 17, 2007 6:42 am) It's frustrating because I basically like the vehicle a lot. I'm impressed with the overall build quality and I like the way it handles and I am very impressed with the pep of the engine. It's just too bad that there is an element of refinement that is missing from the drivetrain that is present in the Camry and ES330. It's almost like they deliberately tuned the engine and exhaust to feel and sound more like a truck. Maybe the redesign due out this spring will address these issues.   BTW, I don't know if I asked you this before but is your's slow to warm up as indicated by the temp guage?

Replying to: matthew (Jan 12, 2007 5:07 am) I was just told by the dealer that the part is now on back-order. Gee, I wonder if it is on back-order because so many replacement are going on!
