My son has a 2007 Corolla. About two weeks ago, he noticed his air conditioning was not cooling. He too it to a Toyota dealership to be fixed since he only has 17,000 miles on the car. They refused to fix the condenser. They are trying to say it is a road hazard and his fault. Toyota had the same problems with the 2005 and 2006 Corolla. Now it has happened with the 2007. They want to charge him $800. 00. The car is under warranty and there is no reason for something to damage the condenser. If the condenser was protected, this could not happen. We have contacted Toyota and they refuse to work with us.
