Replying to: lynnkushnir (Dec 01, 2007 8:38 pm) It started shaking like it had a cylinder misfire or loose wire. (It actually felt like the transmission was shimmering). I immediately shut it down (when I went from reverse to park and it kept shaking I knew it probably wasn't transmission). Called tow truck, had it towed to dealer at which I purchased it. They called me and told me it was bad gas. They idled and drove it for parts of 2 days and then called me and said it blew up. Turned out to be an injector wire shorting out due to a vermin chewing on the wire and not bad gas. As I feared you should not keep running a fine machine like this one if it is shaking violently. doug

Replying to: lynnkushnir (Dec 02, 2007 8:12 am) Back in my days in TV repair it was not unusual to find mouse destruction. More recently often inside computer CRT monitors. When we lived up in the woods we had to mouse proof the 78 911 and the Ford Aerostar as a result of finding nests(***) and nibbled wiring or in the case of the Aerostar they seemed to prefer the small hard plastic vacuum lines. ***Have you ever tried to decide what to do with a mouse nest filled with tiny hairless squirming baby mice..... With your 4 year old grandaughter watching....??

| Does anyone out there know when Exxon is projecting that it's new thin-film battery packs will be commercially viable and therefore will be included in the Highlander Hybrid specifically? | |

Replying to: wwest (Dec 04, 2007 9:25 am) A woman came in to our service department complaining of a smell and noises in the HVAC unit on her Sequoia. Well it had rodents nesting in it. However it happened I have no idea but in trying to get them out one tech somehow emulsified said rodent and sprayed the interior of the vehicle with... well you can get the picture. Can you imagine that the lady didn't want her vehicle back even after we replaced all the seating and all the panels and cleaned the ducts inside and out. I don't know I just can't figure out what the issue was.  I got involved when we offered to sell her a new vehicle at a greatly discounted price but she wanted a preowned one exactly like her other one. She bit my head off, tore out my heart and stomped on it in declining our new vehicle offer.

| having my windshield fog up this morning reminded me I wanted to ask about the HH. How efficient is the defroster in clearing the windshield both in and out? I got to wondering how it well works when the car is starting on battery power. Also, how is the heater in warming the car when first starting up in the am? | |
