Consumer Description

IT WAS WINDY ON JANUARY 24, 2011 I WAS ON A HIGHWAY HEADED TO GREAT FALLS,MONTANA WHEN RIGHT OUTSIDE OF HAVRE, MONTANA A SEMI-TRUCK DRIVER HAULING A LOAD DROVE BY ME AND A ROCK HIT MY CAR. I PULLED OVER IN HAVRE, NO ROCK CHIPS ON MY WINDSHIELD OF THE BODY. I OPENED THE HOOD AND ON MY A/C CONDENSER WAS A DENT. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OKAY. BUT, SINCE THEN MY CAR LEAKS FLUID IN THE FRONT WHERE THE CONDENSER IS. THERE IS NOTHING PROTECTING THE CONDENSER FROM ANY ROCKS, ETC. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR. MY BROTHER IS A MECHANIC AND SAID IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BY TOYOTA. I READ ABOUT THE TSB AC002-06. AND AM DEMANDING TOYOTA FIX THE CONDENSER AND FIX THE GAP SO MY CAR WILL BE PROTECTED FROM THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. ALSO, I TOOK MY TOYOTA FOR THE LAST RECALL TO HAVRE, MT I DO NOT WANT TO GO THERE ANYMORE. I HAD A 12:30 P.M. APPOINTMENT INSTEAD THEY TOOK A WOMAN WHO WALKED IN AFTER US IN FIRST. I WAS UPSET SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT AND WE DROVE 3 HOURS TO GET THERE. THANK YOU.. *TR
