What Owners Say
"Noticed cool air blowing when warm was desired and climate was set to Auto. Same happened with hot air when cool desired. Dealer refilled refrigerant, which helped cooling issue, have not had sufficiently cool weather to test the heating issue."
Anonymous, NJ (2004 Toyota Highlander Limited 3.3-L V6)"Terrible experience. The electronic board that controls the on/off and the modes for the Air Conditioning and Heating system failing. Can not always get the units to turn off or on. Can not change the mode at all. Very expensive to fix."
Anonymous, MD (2004 Toyota Highlander Limited 3.3-L V6)"My heat won't come on now. Just started and I need to find a repair place to fix it."
Anonymous A., CA (2004 Toyota Highlander Limited 3.3-L V6)"Began about 5 years ago. Temp would suddenly change if I hit a bump; a tap of the knob would reset it. Mech checked and fixed temporarily. Continued to fail. Now only get heat no matter setting. Mech says entire hvac dash control replacement is only solution. 2-3000 bucks minimum. Don't drive it when it's hot outside. Still love the Highlander."
