  1. Highlander 1st Generation (2001-2007)
    My Highlander is a 2003 base-model 4cyl. Pulling into a parking lot this morning, it seemed like the power steering on my Highlander temporarily went out - I had the wheel cranked to the right about 75% and couldn't turn it any further - I was met with a lot of resistance. Simultaneously, my...

    I have a 2001 Toyota Highlander I acquired it in 2018 and I'm the second owner.The first owner bought it new, took good care of it. I thought it was about 275 mi currently has 328k mi. Just before this last Christmas the car lost heat and was trying to overheat as I was going home from doing...

    Headlights are not auto dimming, but you can leave in on position when you turn the car off and they go out shortly later (I guess a get to your door safety feature) and come back on when car starts. Worked fine for years and then car started dying in cold weather as I wasn't using a really...

    Hello all! I just replaced my return line and high pressure line for my power steering, and now there is another leak. First leak: was like a single stream coming out, gone Second leak: looks like it's flowing on the rack. Above driver control arm/subframe towards the back of the rack. I'm...

    I have a 2006 Toyota Highlander that I'm hoping to put a pop-up tent on top of to do some long-term camping in. The owner's manual says that the luggage carrier bars can hold a max 165lb weight. Does this mean I'd need to upgrade to a more hardy roof rack, or that the weight capacity for my roof...
  6. Highlander 1st Gen - Hybrid (XU20/2005-2007)
    Hello! I've recently looked into swapping my wonderful xB for something with a little more ground clearance. I goo on graded road fairly regularly, and I don't think my Silver Square likes it very much. The Highlander Hybrid seems great, and the gas mileage hit isn't even too bad. However, I've...

    I've got a strange problem. I have an 05 Highlander. It's previous owner was my mom and either myself or my dad have done all the work on it. Keys have never been replaced and are all original. The problem is the black keys will not unlock the doors. First thought well they're froze up. Wrong...
  8. Highlander 1st Gen - Hybrid (XU20/2005-2007)
    Help me think through options, given the inflated used car market. Should I repair and keep, trade as is, or possibly face massive loss with repair exceeding the value… Our 2006 Hybrid Highlander Limited is in otherwise good condition, at 153k miles. But my dashboard lit up with warnings a...

    P1346 Code won't go away. 2002 Toyota Highlander V6 Limited I got a P1346 code and let it ride a few weeks. After some rough performance, took it to the shop and had the following done: Shop replaced: plugs, ignitions coils. Code came back after 3 miles. 3 weeks later, I replaced both bank 1...
  11. Introduce Yourself Here
    Brother-in-Law knew we were in need of a potential car for one of our children, and asked if we wanted his 03 Highlander. We agreed and shipped it from CT to TN, last week. It suffers from the dreaded 'no heat' on the manual heat control, so I've seen how to fix that. He says it has a 'whine'...
  12. Highlander 1st Gen - Hybrid (XU20/2005-2007)
    Looking at buying a 2007 Highlander Hybrid. My understanding is ALL the 2007 Hybrid models came with the 3.3L V6 and all-wheel-drive. Is this accurate? I am seeing listings for 2007 Hybrids with two-wheel-drive. Wanted some clarification so I can make a good purchasing decision. And were there...

  14. Highlander 1st Generation (2001-2007)
    2001 Highlander AWD 160k miles Got new tires on the Highlander and went to have it aligned. The shop said I’d need a new driver’s side rear, rearward control arm and wanted to charge $530 to do it. I figured I could do it myself much cheaper—got all new control arms off Rock Auto for ~$100 and...
  15. Highlander 1st Generation (2001-2007)
    Hello everyone. I could use some help. No issues with our 2007 Highlander until a few days ago it wouldn't turn over. Also, the doors were locked and I had not locked them when I got out that morning at work. I replaced the battery, but still no crank. Pulled the starter and the start relay...

    Hey all, Starting to add some overland gear to my Highlander. Installed a LED light bar, but I can't figure out how to get the wire past the firewall to the driver side. Thus, I have it coming and going from the hood to the side of the door. Wire is exposed and it just looks bad. Bought some...
  17. Highlander 1st Generation (2001-2007)
    Hey there. Searching everywhere to figure out what this strange and erratic clicking/ticking noise from my driver side dash is. Cannot be heard from under the hood. Louder when I’m on the floor under the steering wheel. It’s annoying but I mostly want to make sure nothing is going to break...

    Wife threw a rod in her 4cylinder highlander. The question I have is, can one swap a camry motor for this model? If not, how difficult is it to swap to a V6 from a 4cyl, is it possible?
  19. Highlander 1st Generation (2001-2007)
    So I've been having issues with the key fob lately for my 2006 Highlander. I am currently able to get the car into programming mode and program the remotes, but it seems like if I park the car and let it sit for a while, the remotes stop working... That is, until I drive the car. Both original...
