Air Conditioner Noise & Leak?

[Rick Flynn]

That was very thoughtful and, yes, that tube was actually okay, but it's tank above that needs cleaning, and that's tricky. By the way, the dealer admits it's a design problem, but they're not taking responsibility for it. Odd, that Toyota would let something like this pass without fixing it.

Thank you!

To all :
I found this link : http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0f88fe/0
I put my notes as I did on this forum.
U.S Yaris 2006 -? has this A/C issue believe me is a design problem.
At least I found 3 people with the same issue I had.
For Toyota is easy to say I take a complaint and we look into and done nothing.

The tank did not drain when my mechanic checked the hose and the local Toyota dealer (Fremont CA) wanted 80-150 to diagnose the problem which I'd already had diagnosed. Wondering what to do, I finally had a moment of inspiration--not bad for a clutz like me--and I thought, "Why not remove the drain hose and stick a clothes hanger up the hole"? Well, it worked. Water poured out of the tank, and the leak has not returned for two months.
