Consumer Description

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. *TR
