| Description of the problem | Many toyota highlanders are effected by a consistent buzzing noise in the cabin. This problem has been diagnosed to a faulty air servo motor. At first glance, you might say this buzzing noise isn't a safety issue, however i beg to disagree as many have attested that it is a distraction to their driving. Some have gone so far as to sell their vehicles because of this issue. What is the burden of proof for this to be a safety issue? A distracted driver having an accident and attributing it? Toyota has not issued a service bulletin to date to address this issue. Thank you for your time. Http://www. Toyotanation. Com/forum/333-3rd-generation-2014/1077937-weird-vibrating-buzzing-noise-15.
