Ac stopped working in peak summer heat. After researching, realized that this is a common problem in toyotas made before 2006. Toyota has a technical service bulletin ac002-06 which implies that the a/c condenser is not protected. The cost to replace is $600 and will go out around 50k. If you look at the a/c condenser on these cars vs. 2007-2009 toyota has added a plastic cover to cover the hole left in 2005-2006.…
