2 Engine Cooling System problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2011

I am the owner of a 2006 Corolla 4-dr sedan. VIN - omitted current mileage 48820 about a week ago, I noticed that the air conditioner was not working. I took it to my local dealership (michael's Toyota in bellevue) for service where they told me that the a/c condenser has a hole in it and will need to be replaced - to the tune of $685. I was shocked by this so started doing a little research online only to learn that thousands of other 2006 Corolla owners are experiencing the same problem. Technical service bulletin ac002-06 was released by Toyota admitting to the faulty design of the condenser which left it unprotected and vulnerable to road debris. I'm shocked and appalled by this. With all of the negative press that Toyota has received in recent years, I would expect you to be going above and beyond to ensure that all known problems are corrected. I turned down the suggested replacement and will continue to seek arbitration. I have filed a complaint with Toyota. I was surprised to find that several official complaints have already been filed, yet no recall. I come from a large family of Toyota owners, we stand by our cars & trucks as they have always been extremely reliable. I will continue to endorse them. I just hope that they'll make this situation right.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 Toyota Corolla.

The parts were not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the repair and the manufacturer as well as the dealer were unable to determine when the vehicle would be scheduled for repairs. The contact was also included in NHTSA campaign number: 10v384000 (engine and engine cooling) and was to determine when that repair may be scheduled also. The contact was not experiencing a failure.

Driving behind dump truck rocks fell out of truck and punctured the unprotected ac condenser. Then I lost ac during one of the hottest days of the year. Lucky my newborn was not with me.

We live in florida and we lease a 2006 Toyota Corolla. The a/c went out. The service department told us a rock hit the condenser and put a hole in it. There is a TSB out on 2005-2006 Corollas because of this problem. Report number ac002-06 the service manager told us it is not under warranty. Now Toyota is telling us we have to pay $645 to fix it. We feel Toyota needs to fix it. This is a persistent problem and design flaw. We need to have a recall.
