#4488 of 4692 Re: Whistle noise from front heater [krb1] by tsotsi Jan 23, 2009 (7:38 am)
Replying to: krb1 (Jan 22, 2009 4:50 am) Just a wild guess. Could it be a fan bearing?
#4489 of 4692 One more question - noise heard while in reverse by krb1 Jan 23, 2009 (4:46 pm)
I have posted message #4487 and just wanted to add that I have one more issue. Only when in reverse and only sometimes I hear noise from underneath like something is loose, esp. when I break to slow down. I asked the dealership to check it out along with the heater noise. They checked and said that everything is O.K. and nothing is loose, yet the noise is still there. Perhaps it's time to change the dealership/service. I am starting to wonder if they know what they are doing. The only reason I would hate to do that is services included with the purchase (free oil change, batteries, and tires as long as I own the vehicle). Also, free 30,000 - 60,000 - and 70,000 mile service. Replies to this message: bluenose2 (Mar 02, 2009 1:49 pm)

Replying to: sitiakab (Jun 08, 2006 11:59 am) Thanks for the info, just what I wanted to know. Even what tools to use, excellent! Now that I know it can be done without removing the intake manifold I will attempt it. Probably not for a few months though. I will let you know how I make out.
#4492 of 4692 Steering by rugby65 Mar 02, 2009 (12:48 pm)
I have a 2003 HL limited front wheel drive purchased it new. it has 66253 trouble free miles except for one minor glitch and that is the steering. From day one the ease of steering it in a parking situation changes one day it will steer without any effort at all and may be like that for several days. then it goes back to taking both hands while steering in a shopping parking lot. On the high way at high speeds I don't notice it that much--there isn't any pulling to the left or right and no balance problem.   New tires did improve the ride and noise drastically over the crappy goodyear intregity tires that it came with.   Now to the point does this model have an electrical component that malfunctions now and then or what?

Replying to: krb1 (Jan 23, 2009 4:46 pm) I have exactly the same situation with my 2006 HL. Same response from my dealer.
#4494 of 4692 Coolant by jackmick656 Mar 02, 2009 (5:10 pm)
Hello, I own a 2003 HL and am using the red long life coolant. I need to add a little coolant but don't want to pay Toyota $24 for a container. What brand can I safely add to the red longlife, thanks. Replies to this message: wwest (Mar 03, 2009 12:19 pm)

#4496 of 4692 Re: steering clunk [jrhfla] by iclark Mar 05, 2009 (11:36 am)
Replying to: jrhfla (Apr 09, 2006 8:20 am) I have the exact same problem with my 2005 Highlander. There is a subtle but becoming increasingly loud ,clunk in the steering wheel. I had it checked by the dealer and they advised that there was a TSB on the Camry but nothing for the Highlander and no recalls. I confirmed this by calling Toyota who were quite firm that it was up to me to pay the $550 to have this fixed "if I chose".   The car has been excellent until this year when all four brake rotors needed replacing - rust they said.

Replying to: iclark (Mar 05, 2009 11:36 am) You mentioned having to replace all four brake rotors. I just had to replace the rear pads and rotors on my 2006 HL, at only 70,000 km (43,500 miles). My front rotors were badly rusted but they were able to clean them up. Why would rear pads wear out so fast?
