Q: Has anyone had trouble putting custom wheels on a Toyota Highlander?
I have a 2005 Toyota Highlander, and I want to put chrome wheels on it. I ordered some from a website that are supposed to fit a Highlander, but the wheel studs are too short, by the time you add a spacer and the rim, the lug nuts only thread on 3 turns.
Help. Please! I have lots of money in these wheels that, right now, are sitting in my garage collecting dust. And I doubt I’d be able to send them back, even though the website said that these fit.
A: If they said it will fit it should fit.
If it doesnt call them on it and make them take care of it for you. If not you will need to go to a body shop and have them change the studs on your car to extend out enough the be safe on the road with the wheels.
Good luck/
Q: Toyota highlander engine light and SVC light are on?
My 2005 Toyota highlander engine light and SVC light are on. checked gas cap which was loose, tighted. but the both lights still on. Do I need to do reset? or the lights will turn off by itself.
A: Lights will not go out by themselves. Sometimes you can find a way to get rid of the lights in your service manual if the lights were just signaling it is time for some service. But most likely they came on because some sensor, like an oxygen sensor, detected a problem. Take it to a service center or autozone type of place and they can use a scanner to see what caused the lights to come on. It will be a code that translates to the specific issue.

Q: How much for brake job on 2004 Toyota Highlander?
I know that I am getting ripped off from the dealership but does anyone know how much a brake job on a Highlander costs? I am getting new pads and rotors and the calipers need “grinding”. I should have taken it to a local but I needed warranty work done as well. Thanks!!
A: Well, you’d probably feel you’d be getting ripped off from an independent garage then, too, based upo what you’re having to do on the brakes.
The main problem is when you’ve got to replace the rotors and drum (if any), because those are the main parts of the whole brake system, with the pads being the replacable parts. So if you wear the pads down too far, then you start wearing on the rotors, and then that imbalances everything. But you’re not alone in this problem, I’ve done it many times in my life, and then had to pay megabucks to fix everything back to normal.
If you replace pads within their lifetime, then the rotors stay good and you avoid the extra costs.
So once you get the warranty work done, and the brakes done at dealer, then you can go to an independent garage or one of the regional or national brake centers to get your brakes redone easily and with less expense. If you keep the brakes changed within their time frame, then you can stay with the cheaper prices. Sometimes, the brake garages will charge only $100 to replace pads, if you don’t need any work done on rotors, etc. But that’s where a garage makes it’s money, selling you the parts to fix your brakes, not merely replacing the pads. So if the rotors need replacing, then you’re looking at probably close to $100 for each one, if you’re lucky. there are cheaper ones, but they will rarely go with them unless you’re offered a choice.
So it’s a hard lesson to learn, but learn to get the brakes done on time, and you save hundreds of dollars in repairs, rather than just replacement costs. And don’t get the cheapest pads either. I’ve got a little 1991 Corolla, and went with cheap pads, and I can tell it’s harder to stop car. I”d rather get the expensive ones, and make sure I won’t be slamming into someone’s rear end in the future.
So with having to replace rotors (on all 4?) and pads, I’d say it can cost you easily $500 up to $700. With proper future maintenance, it might only cost you $100 for all 4 pads.
Q: how can i solve the jerking on my toyota highlander 2005 steering when turning to the extreme right or left?
when turning to the right or left or going over bumps, i am getting a jerking on my steering wheel on my 2005 highlander. It also does occur when i am parking my highlander. How do i solve this issue?
A: Lol, that’s because as you go over the bump it contacts your wheels at different times, which makes the wheels want to turn, which creates a jerking feeling.
When you go straight both wheels contact the bump at the same time so it doesn’t try to force the wheels to change direction.
There’s nothing to fix.
Q: What is the tow prep package for the Toyota Highlander?
I bought a 2010 highlander with the “tow prep package”, but my impression is that I still need a wiring and tow package to be able to tow anything, so what part of all of this is the “tow prep package”?
A: A tow prep package usually consists of A. transmission cooler ( a little radiator for transmission fluid ) B. a hitch and trailer light plug installed. C. there should be contained in the glove box a pigtail with a plug. This is for a brake Controller when you attach the pig tail to the control wiring all you do is plug in the control under the dash. Somtimes tow packages have other eenhancementsas well, like heavier shocks, or suspension. Check you VIN number if your truck has a factory package it will show in the VIN. some dealers add hitches etc. and call it a tow package…Be aware it is not always bad, but have the proper factory add one’s for cooling is the most inportant part….cooling is key to not overdoing anything. Stop in at a local RV store if you have one in your are you will get impartial help they know what to look for to help you and they have books with VIN codes to check against….Good luck
Q: My neighbors kids are tired of totally lame parents driving a Toyota Highlander?
so they always come to MY house in the morning for rides to school because they are tired of other kids teasing them about the Highlander. How should I explain this to their parents ?
There is no way I will do anything to force them to ride in it, sorry but I DO have a conscience.
lol Hollwow Chocolate Prius but the problem with your answer is that she used to drive other neighbor kids to school also but now they refuse to ride in the new highlander also.
A: Here’s how you should explain to the parents that they should not drive their children to school in a Toyota Highlander. …Just tell the parents that a Toyota Highlander is not safe to drive their children to school in because of all the reported unintended acceleration problems. Then give them these links to read regarding the severity of the defective acceleration problems found in this Toyota vehicle. There are two legitimate links below to support your information on these defective and dangerous vehicles. After reading these…they just might refuse to drive their children to school in a Toyota Highlander!

Q: How much cargo can a Toyota Highlander fit?
With 3 passengers……Can it hold 2/3 Bikes inside the cabin? Large international-type suitcases? Coffee table? Would love to hear the largest items you’ve carried in your Highlander.
A: 3 passengers and 2 bikes yes. 3 bikes? I doubt it unless you strap it to the roof.
Large suitcases? Yes. Coffee table? Yes!
Helped my friend move most of her items with her Highlander, and seen some LARGE school science projects for her daughter in there too!
BUT – for the money the new body RAV4 has almost the same amount of passenger and cargo room. It costs less and according to my friend who works for Toyota Corp. its outselling the Highlanders by a mile.
=)

Q: Toyota Highlander driver side door lock doesn’t work when I use the remote or push the button what is wrong?
I noticed it was sluggish with the remote thought it might be the remote battery but today it stopped working all together. The beep and flashing light as well as the locking of the other doors is a little sluggish but the drivers side door is non responsive to the remote or the console button. I can lock it with the key or the manual lock next to the handle. What may be wrong?
A: the door lock actuator is bad they cost about 38.00 and you have to pull the door panel off the job should not take an hour at most
