Air Conditioner Noise & Leak? - Toyota Yaris Forums

crazedpenguinattack · 06-14-2010, 03:52 PM

I have had this exact same problem twice now. I've had my Yaris for 3 years and I just hit the 31000 marker. The first time it happened was a year ago and Toyota fixed it under the warranty because there was a crack somewhere.
It started happening again so I took it in right away thinking it would be the same thing. There's no crack this time, they said it's leaking becuase the hose is clogged by leaves. They say it's not covered by warranty because the leaves are an "outside source and I parked in an unprotected area". Toyota wants me to pay $700 bucks to clean my soaked carpet and to unclog the hose!! No thank you I can do it myself!
Now I see that it is a commom fault with this model car. I have always heard such great things about Toyota, which is why I was sure to purchase my first new car from them.
I am so angry that they are fully aware that this is such a commom problem and yet refuse to take measures to fix and prevent it. I will never buy a Toyota again.
