| Description of the problem | I had my rear brakes installed at hollywood toyota in october of 2013. As i left the dealership once the job was complete, my abs light, the brake light came on, my speed odometer stopped working along with my ac which started blowing hot air. I took the car back the following day and got the runaround. The toyota mechanic said it was the alternator since it was new, and it was giving to much amps. I immediately took the car back to the place the alternator was put in. The problem still existed after going back and forth with the problem. My service tech [xxx] said i would have to pay to have a diagnostic test done on the car. Of course i got mad! When i bought the car in i had no problems with the vehicle. The sunday before my last visit to hollywood toyota, it started raining, which caused my windows to fog up inside and me driving in a ditch because of poor visibility. Not from the outside, but from the inside everything became fogging in the interior of the car, where i either had to make contact with a car in front of me or go off into the ditch to avoid an accident from whipping the window trying to see in front of me. When, i saw hollywood toyota not wanting to except responsibility for the actions it has caused! I contacted toyota corporate and they in turn allowed me to take the car in for another diagnostic without cost. After leaving the dealership, the problem was no better then i took it in. But in addition to me taking it in. I went online and saw i was not the only one who had problem with the abs, brake light style coming on along with the speedometer not working. After dang near pulling what hair i have left out, i am reaching out to you to help eliminate this problem before a major accident occur and lives are lost, because someone else who's ac may not be working on the account of the electrical system failing would be a tragedy.
