Description of the problem	Since i bought the car in 2004, i would have trouble with the clock - sometimes it would show other times not. I have a navigation system in the car and the time is tied into it. This year, the gps stopped working, and would knock out the radio, heat and defroster. When i brought it to toyota, they said is was a gps failure and since i was not under warranty anymore, it would cost me about $1600. 00 to replace it. I would think that something i complained about from the beginning would be looked not and that a recall should have occurred if the defrosting system didn't work. That is a driving danger. I had to pay for it for the winter but am now looking for a new car and will surely not be looking at a toyota ever again. Since i got the refurbished gps, my time is always there.
