Consumer Description

MY COMPLAINT IS WITH MY 2005 TOYOTA COROLLA LE 1.8L. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW, AND SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT, THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN DAMAGED BY ROCKS AND DESTROYED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE, AND PAID FOR IT OUT OF MY OWN POCKET AND GOT IT REPAIRED BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ($1000 REPAIR). IT WAS REPAIRED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN LAST FALL. I HAVE PUT OFF GETTING IT REPAIRED AGAIN FOR FEAR THAT THE REPAIR WILL ONLY LAST ANOTHER 6MONTHS TO A YEAR. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND I BELIEVE IT IS A FAULTY DESIGN ON TOYOTA'S PART. *TR
