37 Engine Cooling System problem of the 2005 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 05/20/2008

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!.

39 Engine Cooling System problem of the 2008 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 05/10/2008

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.

44 Engine Cooling System problem of the 2005 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 04/01/2007

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 in the same situation. Good luck. Hello Nissan and Honda.

45 Engine Cooling System problem of the 2005 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 08/23/2005

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. Now a about a year later, we ran out of cold air again. I did not think it was the condenser. What is the likelihood that a replaced new condenser goes bad. We went to auto zone to get a recharge kit and sealer. After applying them there still was no cold air and their is a visible leak on the front region where the first condenser also suffered damage. Searching for replacements on the internet I came across several people that had the same problem and no solution from Toyota other than to pay to replace the condenser. Toyota even admits this in technical service bulletin ac002-06 "lower grille mesh protection cover. " in the intro it reads some customers may experience damage to the a/c condenser if the vehicle is used regularly. I do not believe I should have to pay for something they should have fixed so I don't have to replace my condenser every year or maybe more frequently. They should pay to repair my damage and to install the cover to protect it from now on. Our is Corolla 2005.

46 Engine Cooling System problem of the 2003 Toyota Corolla

Failure Date: 07/01/2005

I bought a 2003 Toyota Corolla from a certified car dealership, and was sold a car that was involved in a major accident and was not reported. The whole front of the car has none of the original parts to the car which depreciated the value of the car, but it was still sold to me as slightly used in great condition,low mileage and suppose to have never been in an any accidents, I also found out the this car did not pass inspection at the time of purchase, I had to bring the car back to the dealership numerous times starting five days after I bought it. I tried giving the car back and they said that there is nothing that they could do because the contract is already signed, and because of the extensive damages to the car they will only give $6,000 for the car when in fact they sold it to me for over $15,000.
