| Description of the problem | I have now had my air conditioner's blower unit go bad twice in the past 6 months. In october of 2003, the air conditioner began making a rattling noise and within a day or so, the blower completely died. The toyota dealer looked at it and had to order a part. A week later, they replaced the blower unit.... Now, the exact same thing has happened again. The rattling noise started yesterday and today, the blower is completely dead. I have to take it back to the dealer again! *ak |
