Can someone tell me why the 2008 review by the editors is not out yet, and the 2009 is already listed? With so many consumer reviews that are excellent, why has the 2008 Highlander not been rated? As for the consumer ratings, it has one of the most reviews of any SUV out there. |

I have a 2008 HL Limited push start. This is my 4th highlander and I know how to reset that maintenance required message on the older model. So I used that procedure on my 2008. No luck. Did it change? Can someone post it so I can recheck my self. Thanks -- - - - Geez!

Replying to: knwpsk (Sep 27, 2008 11:07 am) Thanks to the hints on this forum (regarding the hood sensor switch), I may have solved my problem on my own. I opened the hood, checked for obstructions, and found a "pop rivet" (my words) near the latch that was loose. It's a little fastener that holds a plastic liner part to the metal frame. Pushed it back in, closed the hood securely. Haven't had an alarm since. Did the fastener/rivet have anything to do with the alarm? Who knows. But something changed. Maybe just reseating/latching the hood did the trick.

Only problem is that I sometimes forget to take it with me or even turn the damn car off when exiting the car. But I really do like the feature.

I just bought a new 2008 Highlander Sport. While I have seen many posts and discussions about the automatic locking features and how to change them or modify them, I have a question I haven't seen covered. I noticed that no matter how the doors lock (automatically, manually) and whether the vehicle is moving or not, I can still pull on the door handle and open the door. Other cars I've owned haven't had this feature (none were Toyotas, though I've rented many Camrys and a 2006 Highlander and never noticed it). Is this feature intentional, and if so why? Is there a way to override it? I don't mind the automatic locking whether it occurs when you start the car or at a certain speed, but I don't understand why a locked car can be opened from the inside. While I don't expect to accidentally open the door and I always wear my seat belt, I'm not quite as confident with my generally responsible 10 year old son or others in the passenger seat. This strikes me as a safety feature that should be configurable. Is there any way to change this so that locked doors can not be opened simply by pulling the inside door handle? Thanks in advance, Mark

Replying to: 1headlight (Oct 12, 2008 6:55 pm) This is the first car I've had where the door handle seems to override the locked status. I do see that the rear doors don't have this setting. Was this always that way for the Highlander? And what is the logic behind it? I admit it escapes me. Mark
