Sienna

  • 36,680 miles
My 2004 Toyota Sienna xle limited's alternator belt got cut and the vehicle immediately stopped on the road and had to be taken to a Toyota dealer. The dealer says my vehicle had a "catastrophic ac failure" which caused the belt to break and says it will cost $2400 in parts and $1600 in labor. He then contacted Toyota and said that Toyota will pay for the parts. This problem seems to happen a lot on this model, I searched on the internet and could find a lot of people with the same issues and Toyota has still not done any recall on the ac unit. Since this seems to a total design flaw, I would like Toyota to pick up the full tab for this repair. Any help in this regard will be appreciated.
