Belts slipping again. Replaced with Gatorback? belts, had to return next day because it wasn't tight enough. Mechanic says design on this isn't great. |

A/C compressor frozen, common problem in Xa and first gen Xb vehicles after looking at scionlife message board. A/C clutch freezes and warps belts. Mech says it is a design flaw, no relay for A/C compressor so it's always running. |
