Consumer Description

TOYOTA ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE (#AC002-06) BULLETIN REGARDING THE CONDENSER NOT BEING PROPERLY PROTECTED FOR THE 05 AND 06 COROLLA MODELS. THEY SAID THAT YOU COULD TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD INSTALL NETTING AROUND THE CONDENSER- BUT IF IT IS ALREADY BROKEN- THEN YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK. MINE HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR TWO YEARS-NOW I AM NOW SPENDING OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER AND MY CO-WORKER DRIVES AN 06 MODEL AND HERS HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR A YEAR. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR PEOPLE DRIVING IN EXTREME HEAT. WE ARE TAKING A FAMILY TRIP TO NV THIS WEEKEND, SO I HAD TO BITE THE BULLET AND GET MINE FIXED, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. HOW CAN THEY ADMIT A DESIGN FLAW AND THEN NOT FIX IT:( ALSO- MY CAR LOST 4 HUBCAPS WITHIN 2 WEEKS FROM PURCHASING IT AND I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHERS AROUND TOWN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHILE I GOT SOME CHEAP ONES TO REPLACE THE ONES I LOST- HAVING YOUR HUBCAPS FLY OFF IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN. *TR
