Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Problem with ventilation system--burntout wires in the automatic climate control module caused total failure of the entire ventilation system
No, summary listed for abov evehicle.
This system malfunction is a serious harzard. When the electronic temperature control system fails, the defroster also fails. The loss of defroster has put me in jeopardy many times during poor weather. Because I don't know when the failure will occur, and only own one car, I can't choose not to drive when the poor weather conditions occur.
The complete shutdown of the entire air circulating system including front defrost/defog, heat and air conditioning is documented in a service bulletin to toyota dealers from toyota, yet toyota refuses to pay for the repair the vehicle if it is past the warranty period. Even though it creates a dangerous condition in not being able to defog or defrost the front windshield.
Electronic climate control and dash lights/warnings cut off without notice and cannot be restarted unless ignition turned off and allowed to sit >1min, dealer cannot identify specific problem recommends trying to replace module for $1200 although that may or may not fix problem, more frequent failure in summer months
