| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought my 4-runner 6-00 about 3 months after i bought it we noticed and terrible oder coming from the air conditioner and heater. when i brought it to the dealer they sprayed it with something to kill the mold. just 2 months later the oder was back so i brought it back, they did it sprayed it again and told me it was the climate i live in and i would have to live with it or pay to have the oder removed from now on. the also told me everyone down south has the same problem. well, i have only found one person with the problem i have. so, i wrote to toyota and they also refuse to fix my problem. these are expensive vehicles we should not have to smell an awful oder every time we need the a/c or heater. but what upsets me now is that my complaint is not even in the system to let others read about it, maybe so others may think they are the only ones with that type of problem and shut up like i did. i sencerly hope my letter is posted with other complaints so i don't suspect toyota to be trying to cover up thier customers probblems. it would also be nice to here from someone concerning this matter.*ak |
