What year does the engine have the issue with the oil hose undernathe?
These are pretty minor for for vehicles that almost 20 years old. That proves Toyota ultra dependability.
The first gen is made in Japan, It proves how strong this generation is
glad i got a 07 ! Love it
looking at an 02 with 55k on it AZ vehicle for $7800
I have an 06 highlander hybrid and for that year the most major part that fails from what I’ve seen is the break pressure accumulator or the hybrid battery system both will run you about $2-3k to fix. The batteries go out anywhere from 13-18 years and the bpa is about 10-16. (This is what I saw on forms specifically for the highlander) my bpa went out about a year ago and my batteries are about 15 years. The worst thing is the alignment on 2006 fwd they go through tires if you daily drive on the regular.
For the hybrid highlander ^*^*^
My ‘06 has 196k miles. I haven’t had any of these, with the exception that I did change the o2 censors. So far it’s running smooth and it’s a very comfortable ride. I just replaced my struts a d the ride is as new. Did a road trip from NJ to Marco Island Fl two weeks ago and it was a very nice ride!! I’m hoping to get another 100k miles out of it!!
We're in NJ and we picked up an 06 with 97k on it and will be doing road trips down to Florida as well :)
@@MikeKayK how do u like it so far? Me and my wife looking to get one or a Honda pilot. How is the gas?
@@smileyk4129 We love it, it's really smooth, comfy and roomy, while not having a huge footprint on the road. Amazing visibility and very large side view mirrors. The heavy, fully loaded '06 AWD Limited w/ 3rd row is noticeably slower than our base '05 FWD was (that one actually was really peppy), and we're getting around 21-23mpg in mixed driving with a very very light foot (though averaging 50mph it gets 27mpg!). People usually guess that it's a 2015-2017. The first generation Highlander is a tank.
I own a 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid with 183,000 miles and had the following repairs: All 4 window regulators/motors replaced, 2 new brake actuators installed at $2,600 each, radiator dual-fan motor assembly replaced, climate control system replaced, 2 new radiators, new right-side taillight assembly installed, interior heat/ac blower motor/fan housing replaced and 2 new front headlight assemblies replaced. Also, all the clearcoat is peeling off even though it was regularly washed and waxed car. Only half the rear window defrost elements are working. The brake actuators are only on the hybrids and the cost of those 2 replacements at $2,600 each easily ate up any fuel savings and then some for being a hybrid. Plus, the costs of tow trucks and rentals cars while awaiting the brake actuator replacements. I will never get a hybrid version ever again.
I have 2004 highlander v6 480,000 miles. All original. Still runs like new.
Which year and what engine? 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder?
Mine is the same year. I have almost 190,000 miles on it. Best vehicle I have ever had.
🔥
What oil brand you use?
My 06 highlander has about 300,000mi still running smooth. I live in N. Montana and its very reliable even in our severe weather conditions.
Ignition coil thing happened to me at 350k miles. I almost scrapped the whole damn car, then figured it out and it's running like a champ again
+Bird Rustler Thanks for checking us out and the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
You have a highlander ?? What year ?
hey bird rustler, what year is your highlander with 350k miles? do you have All wheel drive?
How much did it cost?
My coils just went out. Bought Denso and NGK Plugs online. Local mechanic changes them and valve cover for $250. She's running like new. 03 v6 with 200k
I own a 2005 Toyota Highlander Limited since new, So far I have had to replace the power steering return line which rusted out at the passenger side front wheel, also the axle sensor located on the rear axle Drivers side, and recently the starter. Not bad for a car that's 17 years old, only 108k miles tho. Just did the timing belt just to make sure it's good, the old one looked fine 😂 LOVE my Toy!!
When you swap out the ignition coils male sure you swap out your two variable valve timing solenoids, that can also be a major of your cylinders not running in sync.
WOW this might explain some issues I'm having!!! Thanks dude!!
I have a 2005 Highlander and recently had an oil
change. I also added Seafoam to the gas as a suggestion by my local Napa store. Within a week, the engine suddenly developed a clanking metal sound when driving. I parked it and now there is a steady knock when it runs so I don't drive it. A local mechanic heard it and just said it's toast. I have not had it officially diagnosed and it is parked for now.
251,000 miles and ran superbly before this.
Top 5 Problems Toyota Highlander SUV 1st Generation 2001-07
1. VVT Oil Feed Hose (0:20)
2. Check Engine Light After Air Filter Maintenance (0:53)
3. Failed 02 Sensors (1:20)
4. Ignition Coils (1:49)
5. Center Airbag Sensor Assembly (2:27)
My 04 Highlander has 230,000 miles on it I’ve never had one of these issues other than one O2 sensor being replaced. They are fantastic cars
do you have it since 2004?
My wife bought her '04 Highlander brand new and has had every maintenance performed on schedule by the dealer, at great expense. My wife doesn't drive it hard. It currently has about 240k miles on it. It's never had any of the problems mentioned in this video, but lots of other stuff has gone wrong on the thing:
- AC compressor failed twice before 150k miles
- AC condenser cracked and leaked, needing replacement
- PS rack leaks PS fluid
- Every gasket in the engine leaks oil, totaling about 1 qt every 1500 miles
- Alternator failed
- LCD display on the HVAC center fades out when it gets hot
- Glovebox stops broke off
- Engine beauty cover fasteners wore out and the cover now rattles constantly
- Underbody plastic covers and fasteners have all worn out
- DS interior door handle broke
- DS rear window came out of the regulator and fell down inside the door
- PS front window motor stopped working
- Starter solenoid failed
- Bracket on back side of engine had a bolt come loose, so the bracket rattles at certain RPMs
From watching this video, apparently I have even more trouble to look forward to. I've owned lots of high mileage cars in my life and none of them have ever had this many issues. If she had bought it used, and never maintained it, and drove it abusively, and it was a Fiat, I might be able to understand why it has been so high maintenance. On the bright side, at least the drivetrain has always worked fine (knock on wood).
Knock Sensors on a 2001 Highlander should be at the top of the list. This is a huge problem on this model and very pricey to fix. You will not be able to get into overdrive when these start to go bad. The intake manifold has to be removed to access these and the labor is rated at 7.5 hours to replace the front and back knock sensor. If this happens to you, don't make the mistake that I did and go with a non-Toyota brand to try to save money. I had to have the job redone after realizing this and ended up being billed twice on the 7.5 hours of labor. Once they were replaced the vehicle was back to it's old self.
These are 4 speeds right? So as long as it goes into 4th, it's in OD?
I've got a 02 with 186000 and 1 of the 2 knock sensors went. If you don't mind me asking, how much? And was it worth it? My estimate was $1900 for a $50 part.
@@sykojay We paid $630 for 2 sensors, $120 for harness, gasket $65, labor $500. About $1300 total.
DO IT!
Agreed. Mine wouldn't even shift into 4th with the check engine light on. The dealer parts are expensive but also a must as I've only heard bad things from aftermarket. Would also agree with this vid on the O2 sensors (replaced 3 of 4 before 120k miles) and would add VSV valve. Also the location of the spark plugs is a huge pain. Should never be that difficult to replace spark plugs. But overall a very dependable ride.
Just bought 06 Highlander hybrid with a 115 K on it!! needed some suspension and bushings replaced but otherwise hopefully the car will get me another 100 K!
Thanks for video , i have a question , i replaced the all the o2 sensors still s1 fault (rear engine side) . Do you know how any tricks to fix ?
2002 Toyota Highlander owner watching this video checking off each thing. I will add that I had an oil burning problem that was fixed by changing the PCV valve. Also my wife was able to change the ignition coil packs behind the manifold without removing it. #winning
+Donnie Chase Thanks for the feedback!
you have 3.0 liter engine not 3.3. what he is showing is 3.3 3mzfe engine. you cannot change sparkplugs or ignition coil without removing intake manifold on this vehicle.
@@psadhi : agree, the intake on 3.3 has no clearance underneath to allow you to pull out the coil, while 3.0 has.
@@psadhi good call ref
@@psadhi good call ref
I have the 1st gen but the 2AZ-fe engine
-U mentioned the o2 sensor? P0420, p0430, p0440.
Air filter -same weird replacement.
-ignition coils. Only need 4. Same with spark plugs. Buy Denso brand amazon sells them 55-60$ each FYI.
NOTE VVT OIL FEED HOSE LEAK IS ONLY FOR HIGHLANDER SIENNA WITH 2GRFE ENGINE ONLY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR 3MZFE ENGINE WHICH IS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO
thank you! i really needed to know all this!
I feel like this just really shows the quality of these vehicles 20+ years old and all minor easy fix problems are the most common
My abused '02 still running. Use it for short trips still. 320,000 miles and could have gotten more imo if took better care of it.
What is the front 02 sensor going into? When I start my Toyota Highlander 2006 Hybrid I notice I have vibration originating from that silver enclosure that the 02 sensor is connected to.
My a/c compressor went out at 199k. Gonna cost quite abit to fix but I suppose that’s pretty usual given the miles. Also just replaced the front Os sensors
Thanks for the Informational video. Just wondering if you know roughly how much you would be expecting to pay to have the ignition coils and spark plugs all replaced in Canada? Thanks
Spot on. O2 sensors and ignition coils !
+Geaux_tigers_97 Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Have an '01 Highlander 3.0 v6, got a 1351 and 1351p code, saying VVT, do I need to just change the solenoids or timing belt as well !!
Got the ‘06 limited hybrid . 220,000 miles. currently hearing loud squealing noise coming from timing belt during cold start. Noise goes away once car is warmed up. Changed the entire water-pump assembly and belt at 185K but i guess the belt is no good..
bought the car at 150K miles and it still runs beautifully.
i got the same noise and it turned out that i have a leak in my steering fluid, not sure whats wrong but i add some fluid and its all good, been waiting on the snow to clear b4 i start working on it
The heater vent actuator gave out on mine so if you ever hear a "gurgling" sound from the dash area that could be the issue. Easy inexpensive fix but being flexible helps.
How did you fix it? Any CZcams video on this repair?
Please I have a question:
Between a Toyota kluger 2009 and a Subaru forester 2009 which is more reliable for the off road?
I have a VSC light on and the engine runs kind of week, like running on fewer cylinders, would that be the ignition coil issue?
All I've seen about this car has been fantastic... so I got one yesterday. Then I saw the title of this video and was thinking, "Oh No." But, ya know what? Not so bad. Thanks for giving me some stuff to look out for.
Every car will come with its downfalls
I love my '04 Highlander. I did have an issue with the O2 sensors a few years ago at around 200K but that's it from the list. I don't think you will necessarily experience everything on the list, it's just something to be aware of. I'm at 249K and the old lass is still going strong!
The loose hose after opening the air filter is a common but super easy to check problem. Quick oil change places always forget to re attach it.
Is 2006 Toyota Highlander 4wd system primarily moved by the rear tires or front tires. And which tires serves as the supporter when there is need for 4wd
Wifes got '05 highlander limited. 6cyl. Valve cover gaskets, ignition coils, window issues and most recently a charging system issue. Battery and alternator both replaced, issue came back, both parts retested and passed, any tips?
My 2005 had the issue where the transmission won't go into park - the positive battery cover falls down jamming the linkage. It's amazing that what seems like an impossible happenstance, is very common.
I've also had issue with the HVAC knob where the air blows hot (or cold for the heater) The unit needs soldered which can be sent in to online repair clinics pretty inexpensively. If mine is acting up, I can rotate the knob all the way in both directions and then where I want it - that seems to fix it temporarily.
Break in electric wire coming out of the fuse box under the hood caused intermittent, momentary stalling of engine. Almost seems like a transmission issue.
+Jim Thumerzs Thanks for the feedback!
I have a 05 Toyota highlander v6 i think my trans is going out or the transmission shift solenoid only drives in reverse and I can put it in drive when the transmission is cooled down
I have an 04 limited with over 250k and have never had any problems whatsoever. Just normal maintenance. I'm a Toyota convert for life.
I wasn't that lucky with our Highlander 2003 V6 , engine replacement after just 105000 miles and 20 years to mention the biggest and most expensive project $5000!!
and the second most shocking mishap was the broken gear shifter cable right in the drive way of our home had to use 4×4 wood Blocks to stop the car from moving 😲
Great videos if all cars were perfect we would not have dealer ship mechanics.
I have a 2005 I just recently started the car and it sounded really sluggish I turned it off then started it back up again and it’s been fine ever since but I notice some oil around the head gasket cover just underneath there’s a little bit of oil off to the right front spark plug area any idea what that may be or what may be the problem?
The vvt oil feed hose issue. Was that a possible problem on certain year?
I have a question I hope you can answer is the power steering and the air conditioner connected somehow
Great Info
My 04 has 245k runs like a champ. Best cars
I read another review they talked about on the I4 engine that the head bolts fail and to stay away from it. I have a 2017 Highlander I4 and it's the best car I ever owned. Zero problems except changing the EGR valve due to it's location. I really liked the 2001-2006 Highlanders look and looking at one now but it's an I4.
+@davidwell686 Thanks for the feedback!
The only problem I had was light went out that illuminates the gear shifter letters. I just smacked the side of the housing and the broken filament seemed to find it's way back and light up again. Lol.
HI, I HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER SOMEONE JUST TOLD ME THERE IS OIL ON THE ENGINE ( I SAW IT) AND IT PROB MEANS I NEED HEAD GASKETS BUT IT RUNS GREAT, IS THIS AN ISSUE OR NOT FOR THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP ANGELA
04 limited with 246k miles and has never been to the shop for repairs, only routine maintenance and normal wear and tear.
Hola tengo una Toyota Highlander límite 2005 y se frenos de repetición no sé si es el diferencial
Hola Tengo una Toyota highlander y se le Han Puerto Los Rotor ,caliper freno Los 4 Nuevo y todavia se le oye El mismo ruido. Clas Clas cuando yo freno y no se. que pueda ser se le an Puerto todo lo anterior 3 veces . Espero me puedas acosejar. Gracias
Thanks for the video, I owe 02 3.0L my issues are 1. Leg break light is always ON. 2. Power steering pump keeps failing. What do you advise. Thanks.
My steering is very hard to turn when 1st getting in and driving in morning was told I need power steering hose but I found seafoam trans repair or something like that but it specialize in repairing hoses and clearing away old debris and hardened seals plus lubricate the entire system. Read container to make sure you get the right one, just pour and go. Scotty Killer made me aware of product and it's about $12
whenever my car is a high speed then it try pull back pls what is the problem
Hey do you still have it? I have an 02 Highlander with 160K miles, I wanna take it to college with me (6HRS) way what to do?
Our 06 has 312k run great!
Very minor issues that I never ran into with my 07. East fixes.
which vvti filter are you talking about in the first problem, my 2005 Toyota Highlander is not a hybrid and the vvti filters are on the other side, maybe you can tell me where to look for it and not point your finger at nothing.
I have an 03, with as code for lean condition on the rear bank. Sometimes it misfires but only for a few seconds (engine light flashes). But no misfire code. Just the lean code. Is that going to be bad fuel injector?
+Dan Wake We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Why is my check engine light , VSC, trac off on? Somebody said gas cap( I cleaned it) I might try 02 sensor, someone also said ABS module
What? No mention of the stripped block threads with the 4-cyl. engines? This is so bad that it requires an engine replacement if it's not addressed in time. I found out the hard way. It essentially totaled my 2005 Highlander. If Toyota had told me about this, so I could address this issue before it was too late, it could have been fixed. This destroyed my trust in Toyota.
Any idea what a hissing sound from under driver's side could be? (2001 Highlander, v6, 220,000miles)
+Steph We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
What about rust? Esp in the Northeast?
I would add that there has been a frequent problem with the radio system stopping its function. Usually, there is a wire on the motherboard that has burned out. Easy fix...but do not go to a mechanic. Ask a computer geek to pull out your board and replace. Shop wanted to charge me $1000 plus. Computer geek charged $30!
The AWD will cost a fortune to replace and to do repairs is a pain in the a**. I'll buy a Ford Expedition instead, there motor is wide open for tune-ups and repairs I can do myself. Thanks for the video.
Don’t forget about the nightmare of the lower control arms
How do i fix my gear it's automatic and it's stuck in 2gear it won't go back to P it just slides up
Most likely the gear linkage cable from transmission has come off from base of gear select handle.
My 06 hyhi has 266,000. Going strong.
Have 2001 Highlander, it has a wobble/shaking feeling around turns and at speed below 40 mph any suggestions??
I have a 2003 highlander and have the same issue at turns let me know if you find a solution!
Drive shaft failure
I do have a question: would bad o2 sensors cause hard shifting problems?
+Donnie Chase Thanks for checking us out! While it is not unheard of for this to occur, it may not be the sole reason you are having issues shifting. We recommend taking this to a mechanic to have properly diagnosed to ensure the problem part is replaced. 1aauto.com
Knock sensorcaused mine
As long as it has a heat block and easy to get to alternator I’ll be happy
Have any of your highlanders have a knocking sound when starting it?
some older 4 cylinder engines had that problem.
I'm looking at one that has 190k on the v6 runs good and shifts good. Throws a CEL and a VSC light. No Trac off but just those two lights CEL and VSC. Should I run? I'm getting it for 5000
Did you get it? How has it worked out if you did?
Could just be a loose hose going to the air filter or the housing isn't completely sealed. That's what happened with mine. Readjusted the top of the air cleaner housing, disconnected the negative battery cable, reconnected it, started it up, and perfect. Lights are gone and running perfectly
2002 Highlander: Have replaced one AFR, both knock sensors and the MAF (all DIY). That's it after 22 years. Car still running like a clock.
I bought a 2003 Highlander and getting 7 mpg. What should I check for?
A hole in your gas tank!
Which between the 3.0 & 3.5 has the timing belt or chain ?
i know the 3.3 has a belt.
The biggest issue of my 06, is that there are no cup holders in the front😭 but there are 6 IN THE BACK SEATS😭😭😭
+Thanya Suastegui Thanks for the feedback!
What do you mean I have the 06 and there are 2 in the center console lol I guess depending on the model
A/C heater control knob connection fails on these vehicles which you can DIY or fix it for $30.
This is the only issue I’ve had on mine. The knob that raises and lowers the temperature can sometimes be unresponsive.
If you pull the knob off their is a thin 6 sided disk that usually needs to be tightened by hand. After that it should work.
Most of the time you can take the knob off and tighten the nut. Takes 2 seconds. Wanting to let people know because I thought mine was broken for a good amount of time. Super easy fix
@@joshpalmquist492 I do that to mine. 2005 Highlander
I have 2004 highlander 2.4 fwd. Sometimes car won't start.. it just makes clicky noise and the whole dash lights turn off after turning it on.. it happens in a hot weather... It drives me nuts... Anyone has a clue? It's not a car battery nor the ignition.. I've already changed all that
Ever figured it out?
1st Gen Highlanders don't have the VVT-I oil control hose that ruptures, that's on the 2nd Gen Highlanders with the 3.5L V6.
3.3 v tek
One hose you missed showing on the air filter is the one behind the air filter between the air filter box and the firewall. That's the one that is easily overlooked and it's easily disconnected when changing the air filter. I've had to reconnect it several times on my 2003 highlander after a mechanic checks or replaces my air filter.
02' with 140k the transmission is junk. Rear hub assembly, Last year replaced struts that cost me $1000, exhaust $225.
Solid built vehicle
I have one that takes way too long to shift to second gear. Everything else functions perfectly
Check your transmission fluid level by starting it and running it for 15 minutes. While it is on pull the dipstick out and check the level. If there is too much fluid that maybe the problem. I took out one quart of transmission fluid because someone at some point put too much fluid in. My Highlander was delaying in shifting after a few hundred miles later it stopped delaying in shifting.
Maybe it's time to change your transmission fluid. 3x drain and fill (about 3k miles travel in between) should do it.
Same. No matter how often I change my fluid.
My 3-4 shift is slow not 1-2
Has anyone had problems with the 2006 hylander not starting at all. Everything checked out fine. Just won't start.
I have a 2004 highlander with 195,000 miles on it.
It’s an incredible vehicle
I have an '03 42k mi. V6 4wd. Amazing snow mobile
06 Limited AWD with 200,000. I do the regular maintenance and this vehicle has been great.
How’s she holding up
I love, love, love my '04 Highlander V6 4wd! 249K and still going strong.
2003 highlander limited for 3500k with 212k miles. service was kept up with at dealer. worth it?
+Musa Elkhatib Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
if it has 3.0 ltr engine instead of 3.3 ltr then they are notorious for oil sludge in the engine. stick to 3.3 liter 3mzfe, they are bullet proof.
@@psadhi I'm looking at a 2007 3.3 AWD tomorrow with 215,000 miles. Are those good? Is that too many miles? Old hickory?
@@psadhi or change the oil more often
Dose it have a cvt transmission?
No, it doesn’t
My fuel guage is not working
My 05 is Great car made in Japan
ABS sensors exhaust manifold gaskets the infamous Toyota valve cover gaskets brake pedal switch and if you don't change the fluid in the transmission like you have a brain then something will happen to the four-speed transmissions in these. I'm not quite sure, but first gear and reverse will start whining more. I imagine because some bearing got worn out inside, all in all, these are the most rigid crossover style or independent suspension style SUVs I've seen in a long time. The v6s are fast as hell and the all-wheel drive and traction mode (4x4) work excellent.
Tire pressure light stays on all the time regardless of tire pressure. Is this a common issue on 2007 Highlander?
No
If it flashes and stays on more than likely you need to replace and program new sensors
Yea same here. I have an 07 base AWD and yes it is the tire sensors. They need to be replaced, I’ve had the same problem
There is a tire pressure button under steering wheel, press that to reset.
I had this same issue, look at your manual and follow the procedure for reset- to the letter. My 06' AWD 3.3 v6 calls for to turn the key to "ON" hold down the reset button till the TPMS light turns off, then release, then push again till the tpms light blinks 3x. Make sure your pressures are good as it takes a while for the system to recalibrate. It may be different for the 07. The 04-06 uses an indirect TPMS system, meaning there are no valve stem sensors, it uses the wheel speed sensor from the ABS system to monitor possible low tires based on wheel differences. I was making the mistake of stopping the process after it turned off based on some google searches. Follow your vehicle's manual. Note it won't be calibrated till you drive the vehicle above 20mph for an hour, doesn't have to be in one trip tho.
TANKS 🦕🌽👍👍👍💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
My highlander dies while driving and I can’t figure out why no codes on dash
If it is momentary like somebody has quickly turned the ignition switch off then back on, I had a problem with the wiring harness coming out of the box under the hood.
