I own an "02" Toyota Tacoma that was built and sent to me in that same year. The problem that I have experienced is that the a/c went out. I rarely use the a/c in the summer time, but I do get a lot of use out of the heater in the winter. The problem was not noticeable until I had the vehicle for approximately four years. I began to smell a burning smell. Once smoke actually came out of the vents. Eventually the fuse burnt. I replaced it and the a/c worked for a short while then the fuse burned again. I began using the a/c to attempt to determine the problem with the a/c. It recently stopped completely and I can hear the fan ticking as it rotates. This is obviously a manufacturer defect and I did nothing to aggravate this situation. I have and continue to have problems with the drivers' side shoulder harness. I can't move freely once it's locked in. It catches and keeps me from moving freely. I just locks me down and I can't reach for any controls until it eventually releases me so I can move. It seems that all of this occurred at different intervals. I never expected such poor quality of workmanship from such a trusted automobile manufacturer. Had I known or had any idea that this would eventually result in no a/c, I would have taken it in during the warranty period. Now I have no a/c and am not financially prepared to pay the cost involved in repairing it. I will think twice before I even consider purchasing another Toyota product. I also had one of my tailgate wire rope supports just corrode and break. How this happened I don't know. It is insulated with a thick plastic, the entire length. This is pending as is the a/c. I went to the Toyota product for the quality and ended up regretting that I thought that Toyota was a marque for quality.
