| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 toyota sienna. I bought the van when it first came out, had to wait a couple of weeks to get it (because of demand) and paid full sticker price. Last year, while driving, my air condition unit went. It is blowing warm air. I took it to a garage to get it looked at and was told that compressor was working and freon is full. I did some research on my own and found out there are numerous complaints from people, with the same year and make. Some of these people have spent up to $4,000 to get repairs with still no satisfaction. Apparently, toyota was aware of the problem with the air conditioning units in the 2004 and 2005 models and made the corrective changes in the following year. However, never informed the owners of potential repairs. |
