| Description of the problem | I drove this 2012 camry on the high way to nashville tn for 8 days vocation started 28 june 2014, lot of water coming out from carpet, had to stop and clean water in every couple hours(my hand was injured when cleaning up water). After i arrived a hotel, i searched on the internet and found out that toyota had a recall in dec 2013 on this a/c water leak, it can cause "airbag warning light", electronic power steering light", or other problems. We are very worried about car may cause accident in the whole vocation. ------ after back to rochester ny, called toyota and they told me go to toyota service to repair this problem; so i went to henrietta ny toyota service and told them a/c water leak, they said they will fix that, on the service report printed:" customer states there is a water leak", "work performed by xxxx", "cleaned a/c drain". But the manager lied to me, he said there is no recall. ------ not sure if it is totally fixed, car still very moist, smell is bad, even after open car's 4 doors, put the carpet bask in the sun for few days. ------ yesterday, i found another toyota service report and recall letter from toyota on 12/28/2013, and this report shows they "performed work by xxxx." . I totally forgot this car recalled and already performed the "fix" for a/c water leak problem, obviously, toyota service did not fix this problem and they lied to me. ------ this camry has damage under carpet because of water leak, it may cause some electric circuits problems in the future, i don't want to be worry everyday, so i don't want this car any more (the lease term will end in one more year and a month, i paid $3000 down payment for 3 year lease, also every month payment). What is my choice? ------ thanks! |
