Consumer Description

THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER IS MOUNTED IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR AND IS NOT PROTECTED FROM ROAD DEBRIS IN ANY MEASURE. ONCE HIT BY A SMALL ROCK OR SIMILAR ITEM THE CONDENSER HAS TO BE REPLACED FOR ABOUT $600. A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED BY TOYOTA ADVISES INSTALLATION OF A DEFLECTOR SHIELD WHICH COMES WITH THE REPLACEMENT CONDENSER FROM THE DEALER. SIMPLE CORRECTION OF THIS PROBLEM IS INSTALLATION OF A DEFLECTOR SHIELD BEFORE THE PROBLEM ARISES. AIR CONDITIONING IS A POSSIBLE HAZARD IN HOTTER AREAS OF OUR COUNTRY AS WILL AS THE CONDENSER DOES NOT WORK WHEN USING DEFROST OR DEFOGGING ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IS A SIGHT HAZARD. YOUR ASSISTANCE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR
