#2787 of 2854 Re: Instrument cluster illumination when headlights are on [knwpsk] by mtairyordge Jan 16, 2009 (12:54 pm)
Replying to: knwpsk (Dec 30, 2008 5:28 pm) Now I have noticed something I :  1) cannot totally validate  2) cannot totally explain.   I have a 2008 HL Limited. I run it with the headlight selector set to Auto, so when it is dark/light enough the heqdlights turn on/off.   So what I think I have noticed is the dashlights seem to have an intermediate setting that lightens or darkens, depending on the sun rising or setting. It seems to happen only under certain conditions.   Anyway I was wondering if anyone knew if the setting on the Highlander are able to change the intensity of the dash lights without affecting the headlights.   Of course it may just be the gremlns doing this to mess with what is left of my mind....

Replying to: gooutside (Jan 09, 2009 4:20 pm) I spoke too soon. I still have a leak. Good Greif. This is ridiculous. Back to the dealership I go. Replies to this message: gooutside (Jan 22, 2009 4:32 pm) sox0407 (Feb 19, 2009 10:58 am)

Replying to: gooutside (Jan 20, 2009 4:49 pm) Here's an update after todays visit to the dealership. It seems the leak was caused by the wrong size O-Ring. I'm hopeful the problem is fixed, but cautious enough to keep a close watchful eye and keep the floor of the garage protected. Replies to this message: sox0407 (Feb 19, 2009 10:58 am)
#2790 of 2854 Dashboard Creaking/Tapping Noise by tarugs Jan 23, 2009 (8:16 am)
I have a 2008 Limited and I have a creaking noise (like tapping sound) on the dashboard, seems coming from behind the radio or center A/C vents especially when driving on bumpy road. The noise becomes evident during winter. I tried emptying the glove compartment but it is still there. The noise comes on and off depending on how bumpy the road is.   I read on a different forum (Tacoma) that they are plastic wiring clips that are hitting each other and the dashboard and the only solution is to bring it to the dealership and they will wrap the clips with rubber. I am not sure if Toyota dealership will do the same for Highlander for free and if other owners are experiencing this.

Replying to: thuston (Jan 01, 2009 7:54 am) Tom, The same condition still exists. The two service departments I've contacted both responded the same way. They claim this is normal cold engine noise caused by the cylinder design. It does get better after the engine warms up after about 5 minutes of driving. It's still driving me crazy because it sounds like the engine is really laboring during these cold New England mornings. It does lessen in the warmer weather. The service advisors seem to want to brush off any complaints with any excuses they can come up with. I was supposed to be reached by the customer service rep at the dealership, however they never called and Toyota National has not followed up either. I now have less than 14,000 miles and am thinking about selling the car. Time will tell. Please keep us posted about your experience and outcome.

Replying to: tarugs (Jan 23, 2009 8:16 am) I have this noise but have not followed up on it. Definitely sounds like it is right behind the radio or in the defrost ducts. I am afraid of the dealer taking the dash apart... I read somewhere that they have to remove the front seats, etc., to get back there. I can't imagine how many more noises that will introduce.

Replying to: tarugs (Jan 23, 2009 8:16 am) I also have a noise, but I sounds like it's directly in front of the driver closer to where the dash touches the windshield. I took it to the dealer and since they couldn't hear it on their test drive, there was nothing they could do without a TSB (Techinical Services Bulletin) from Toyota.

Dear Highlander 2008 equipped with Third Row Seat Owner,   I got the letter from TOYOTA MOTOR U.S.A. It's said I have to call dealer to make appointment to correct the problem of Third Row Seat Belt Buckle Brackets at no charge.   Did anybody get that letter like me?

#2795 of 2854 cleaning/preserving leather seats by findme Jan 25, 2009 (10:16 am)
What do you use to clean/condition your seats? Mine aren't needing cleaning yet, but I'm thinking I should probably condition them. Replies to this message: thardgrave (Jan 25, 2009 10:29 pm) toyseeker (Jan 26, 2009 8:18 pm) luck11 (Feb 04, 2009 10:49 am)

Replying to: hlander (Jan 24, 2009 7:01 pm) I didn't get a letter, but when I had it in for service (the oil leak) they informed me of the recall and took care of it.
