Both rear a/c lines have cracked, despite one having been replaced in 2013 under warranty. Requires $2200 in parts and labour to replace, or I can cap off the lines and just have a/c to the front. Haven't decided what to do yet. EDIT - I had the rear lines capped and now just have A/C in the front. Interestingly, I noticed in my repair records that the dealer already replaced one of the rear A/C lines when the vehicle was just 3 years old, meaning Toyota's A/C lines are only lasting about 3 years before wearing out. Great quality, Toyota. |

Our alarm was going off at random times, including in the middle of the night. Problem? A sensor switch that senses when the passenger-side sliding door is closed had quit working. I purchased the part online and the repair took about 15 minutes. NOTE: This is the second time this happened with this van, though I failed to report the earlier repair (to the sliding door on the other side). The first time it took me longer to figure out what to do. EDIT: This time this repair did not solve the alarm problem; see next repair for the solution that worked this time. |
