I just turned in my '03 HL FWD V6 lease for a '07 HL AWD V6. My 03 was the most trouble free vehicle I have ever owned, not one issue in 4 years.
My '07, is just as nice but with one issue. It seems to be constantly up shifting and down shifting, very annoying. I don't know if it's because the '07 has a 5 speed vs the '03 4 speed tranny or it's a problem as I have been reading here. I don't notice it all the time but usually driving in traffic at low speeds around 30mph. The tranny doesn't seem to know where to go. I used to like to turn off the OD driving that speed so it was easier to drive at slow speeds but the '07 doesn't seem to work the same when the OD is turned off. Maybe I just have to learn to drive differently with the new trans. I'm going to raise the issue when I take it in for the first oil change.

Several people found a broken or shorted wire to be the culpret. You may want to review this link: http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/highlander/32217-heater-quit-sort-of/

When they tried to close my sunroof they said they could not get it any "more closed" with out taking it all apart - meaning fixing the motor and cables and there fore charging me $1500. The only suggestion I have is to use duct tape to keep the rain out. It seems to work for me, although I have to replace it every once in a while, but where I live there is not too much rain or snow. It does whistle, but not too bad. With all these posts about jammed sunroofs, I am really beginning to wonder if maybe there is an issue here that Toyota is GOING to HAVE TO ADDRESS!

I've got a 2001 3.0 with 2wd and 55K miles, and have also discovered how high speeds burn oil. I'm out of warranty at this point. A 300-350 miles round trip to Boston or to NYC from Albany is a 2 qt trip  70-75 MPH.

I appreciate all your help, I don't really know the first thing about car repairs. This may be a silly question but do car mechanics make such easy repairs or will they tell me I need the entire $1000 part? Would Toyota take the time to solder the wires? Boy...I think I'm going to take an auto repair class!

I have had the same problem except it is on a 2007 Highlander with 6 speaker JBL system. From what I can tell it is tied to cell phones switching towers. I have sat in the Toyota service parking lot and can get it to make the distortion but only once. I have called from another location and when the cell phone switches towers it will happen again. I have had it in six times and very frustrated they can not duplicate and therefore will not address the problem. They did change out the right rear speaker but that did not fix the problem. Keep me posted if you hear of anyone else. They claim I am the first to report the issue but I see that is not correct.

dealer performed alignment, but steering still slightly off?

2005 highlander v6
here's a link to the alignment sheet specs:
http://picasaweb.google.com/draganplavsic/Alignment">link title
When I brought it in I needed an alignment because the steering wheel was off slightly to the right when driving down a straight road. Now when the dealer did an alignment the steering wheel is off slightly to the left. I changed all 4 tires a few months so I don't know if the tires have any impact on this or not but they are brand new. While at the dealer today I also had them rotate all 4 tires. What should my next step be? I would hate to keep going back to the dealer.
