#4087 of 4694 Can someone explain please by lapvn Aug 06, 2007 (7:23 am)
My wife aren't sure, and we can't seem to put our finger on it. Our other car is a 2003 Odyssey, and we just purchased a 2007 HL V6 AWD. We both are having a hard time getting use to the HL's side view mirrors. We've changed it to our correct views, but when driving it feels like we are missing something. A certain view? Angle? We just don't know. Does anyone know if the side view mirrors are that much different that they show a different angle or what not? Replies to this message: wwest (Aug 08, 2007 9:39 am)

Replying to: tix (Feb 01, 2007 8:32 am) Tix - my sunroof also broke in open position at 42K miles and same story about the repair costs - $150 part; $800 labor to fix or $300 to close roof and never use it again. what happened to your roof? Toyota Customer Assistance (notice it's not called Service) is worthless!

Replying to: chrisj2 (Aug 07, 2007 9:49 am) I am so excited to hear someone else has this problem with the sunroof, but that doesn't make it any better news. I wrote to Toyota, I sent it to arbitration, filed complaints and the answer was - too bad, it is out of warranty. I am still so angry. I didn't want to give Toyota another dime of my money, so I do not take it to a Toyota dealer for service. I have told everyone I know what bad customer service I have received and promise never to buy another Toyota. However, that still leaves me with a non-working sunroof. The only solution I came up with is to seal it with duct tape and accept that I have a sunroof that I paid extra for, whistles and can never use again. I have been hoping that others will have this problem and that maybe Toyota will change their tune about fixing the faulty sunroof motor or what ever the problem really is. The only way I have been able to rationalize my decision is, I tend to keep my cars until the miles are pretty high, so I figured that by the time I need to trade it in or sell it, it won't be worth much anyway. If you come up with a better solution, please share it with me! And anyone else who has had this problem.....I believe there is strength in numbers!!! Good Luck!

Replying to: lapvn (Aug 06, 2007 7:23 am) I always try to obtain a convex mirror for the driver's side and that helps. Often, actually almost always, I must resort to a UK dealer's online parts department.   In general the UK passenger side, OUR driver's side, have even better convex aspects they ours.

Replying to: tix (Aug 08, 2007 6:32 am) I fully understand your frustration. From your post it sounds like you have partial opening on your sunroof right now? If you can have someone close it properly for $ 300 or so, I think it's worth it. Especially if you are planning to use your vehicle for next few years, with an opening like that it can damage your interior from moisture, rain, etc..   I know all about not so great experience with Toyota USA. My problem was fuel injection related and missed warranty by just few hundred miles. Of course, they didn't want to pay for it. I was very diligent and was able to recover half of repair cost from Toyota.   Many new vehicle nowdays, not just Toyota are so complicated with electronics,NAV, Rearview camera etc..As long as it's reasonable it might not be a bad idea to buy extended warranty.   good luck
#4092 of 4694 Broken sunroof by tix Aug 09, 2007 (6:50 am)
Thanks for the advice and concern. The sunroof is closed as much as possible without doing the full $1500 repair. There is only a small gap, so the duct tape does the trick. I am having fun changing the duct tape color as it wears out. I have a white car, so anything goes. I view it as "accessorizing " my car, and it also helps advertise the issue and provokes questions about "how do you like your Highlander?.' I am doing my part of representing Toyota as they wish to be viewed. -ha ha. But I am still open to any suggestions for a more efficient solution.
