Takata recall I just recently purchased my hybrid in December. With it being winter, I of course did not use the air conditioning unit. Now as it is summer, I have used the ac. Each time I use the ac the motor starts making an extremely loud noise, and the ac at times stops working. With that, the temp gauge goes out of control. The vehicle may be stationary or in motion, and at any speed the motor will increase in noise.
