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.

Once hit by a small rock or similar item the condenser has to be replaced for about $600.

Simple correction of this problem is installation of a deflector…

I got my car in 2005 and i has nothing but 30 thousand miles, when i got it ran well and still does. The air conditioning works for 20 minutes then turns off and turns back on and from what i hear im not the only one. When i say it turns off i mean it blows lukewarm. I think toyota needs to do a recall because this is ridiculous on a fairly new car! *tr

Vehicle air conditioner stopped working. Toyota dealer diagnosed problem as a/c condenser must have been hit by a rock. Cost to replace is $770.00. The vehicle has no protective covers to prevent this from happening. Toyota has now placed protective covers on later model vehicles to prevent this problem from happening in the future. *tr

A/c condenser failure. Design failure. Had to replace unit twice before i made my own shield.. No help from dealer. You would think that if they had a defective design and fixed it on the next years model that they would take care of any prior complaints.. Just shows that service and customer retention is not part of their creed. My recommendation to my friends has this story with it now that i know that others are…

This complaint is based on two instances of my corollas condenser breaking down because of rocks hitting it while driving. Last year my wife asked me to look at the ac of our corolla as the ac was not blowing cold air. She took it to the totoya dealer in duncanville, tx and they told us that the condenser was not covered and we had to pay $600 to fix. We chose to buy the condenser elsewhere and to install it myself.…

I have what would seem like a safety issue. The a/c condenser on my 2005 toyota corolla failed, after researching the issue toyota has issued a technical service bulletin indicating that the a/c condenser is not properly protected the number for this report is ac002-06.
