problem #2

Corolla 4-cyl

  • 55,000 miles
Ac stopped working in peak summer heat. After researching, realized that this is a common problem in Toyota made before 2006. Toyota has a technical service bulletin AC002-06 which implies that the A/C condenser is not protected. The cost to replace is $600 and will go out around 50K. If you look at the A/C condenser on these cars vs. 2007-2009 Toyota has added a plastic cover to cover the hole left in 2005-2006. This is a safety issue for the warm states in the South.
