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? |

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.

Replying to: iclark (Mar 05, 2009 12:49 pm) Well it is a little reassuring to hear that I am not alone in having this problem, but disappointing nonetheless that Toyota's quality reputation is diminished by this problem, the only one I have had other than the mysterious rattle I hear when backing into my garage. Another person commented on that problem recently. I keep my Highlander garaged, but it certainly does get exposed to salt on the roads in winter. When I leave it outside at the Airport Parkn'Fly for a week or two when I am travelling, the pads are rusted right to the rotors and the vehicle will not move until you give it a lot of gas.

After going to the Toyota dealer for a diagnostics on why the ABS-Brakes came on, and my car was braking after passing 15 miles/hr, they diagnosed that I needed to change the ABS pump for a 2500 dlls cost only. So my doubt is... Which year & model is compatible with my 04 Highlander 2WD 3.3L, because I definitely will try to avoid the original cost and get a used one. Does anyone know which model pump module is compatible.
