THE ECO-CRUISE ACTUATOR CAN BIND THE THROTTLE.
The draglinks have been equipped with an anti-tilt seal on the pitman end that can affect the taper fit of the ball stud taper into the pitman arm. The recommended torque on the stud nut does not overcome the compression of the anti-tilt seal.
These solenoids can fail to operate or pass current. These solenoids are used to turn the power to the ignition bus bar(s) on the power panel(s) on and off.
Latest Highlander complaints
When driving my new 2001 toyota highlander at speeds of 50 mph or more and if you roll down one of the rear windows or both of the rear windows the air pressure violently thumps your ear drums and body - so bad it's like a helicopter is right next to you. The truck shakes so hard it makes you ill. I can't believe this flaw was not catched in the design. This is so severe I'm worried that if my child was in the truck with the windows down that is would cause severe damage. This is a major, major design flaw.... You won't believe how bad it is unless you experience it yourself.*Ak
I was attempting to park when I heard this awful noise coming from the vehicle and the vehicle appear to take on a mind of its own, not responding even though I floored the brake pedal. Fortunately I was parking and was stopped by the protective posts of a fire-hydrant. I had to be taken to the emergeny room for attention. While I did not sustatin any broken limbs, I suffered extreme lower back and knee pain; my left side especially shoulder side and base of neck in addition to pain in the braking foot and leg and burns from the seatbelt.*Ak
Child seat will not properly secure in rear seat. *Ak
Speedometer goes to zero with car at normal operating speed. Defective computer??*Ak
Air noise (coke bottle effect) at high speeds. Acceptable to dealer, but not owner. *Ak
Cam chain tentioner are failing on this model motorcycle. Mine went at 700 miles. This is a potental for causing the motor to lockup when the chain skips a tooth and the valves come in contact with the pistons. The result would be the motor locks up causing the ridder to loose control with injury or death resulting to reidr and passenger. Suzuki has had a recall on the 1999 modal hayabusa. But the 2000 and the recall part are still failing. I would apprciate an investigation on the problem. *Ak
