Heater blower switch over heating on high speed and an eventual failure to work. I have replaced the switch 3 times in four years. Each time the old switch was removed it was starting a melt down which could lead to an eventual vehicle fire and or serious accident. I threw away the old parts but will have another soon.

When they checked the computer they decided not to charge me for the thermostat and the tune-up including new plugs. The mechanic said he was afraid of serious problems and gave me a gallon of antifreeze and told me good luck. By this time I was feed up by the service people at modern toyota. The truck ran for a couple of years an
