| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: New 2006 highlander hybrid 7200 miles, well under both factory and extended warranty. no a/c -air conditioning not working- found that small pebble/rock had damaged ac condenser assembly, and all coolant lost. unlike gas version of highlander, hybrid highlander has zero protection from any rock/bug/ objects from front of vehicle -- there is no mesh or protection at all. it is very accessible, being less than 1 foot away from ground, and completely exposed to front air traffic dealer is charging me over 950$ to replace entire system. they will not cover this under any warranty. this problem can/will easily happen again. i have not/do not travel dirt roads, mostly highway -- so this problem will most likely reoccur unless mesh/grate protection is fitted to front of lower assembly. toyota has no front-bra parts available. i have contacted customer care at toyota and they only sympathize. *nm |
