| I own an 02 toyota tacoma that was built and sent to me in that same year. the problem that i have experienced is that the a/c went out. i rarely use the a/c in the summer time, but i do get a lot of use out of the heater in the winter. the problem was not noticeable until i had the vehicle for approximately four years. i began to smell a burning smell. once smoke actually came out of the vents. eventually the fuse burnt. i replaced it and the a/c worked for a short while then the fuse burned again. i began using the a/c to attempt to determine the problem with the a/c. it recently stopped completely and i can hear the fan ticking as it rotates. this is obviously a manufacturer defect and i did nothing to aggravate this situation. i have and continue to have problems with the drivers' side shoulder harness. i can't move freely once it's locked in. it catches and keeps me from moving freely. i just locks me down and i can't reach for any controls until it eventually releases me so i can move. it seems that all of this occurred at different intervals. i never expected such poor quality of workmanship from such a trusted automobile manufacturer. had i known or had any idea that this would eventually result in no a/c, i would have taken it in during the warranty period. now i have no a/c and am not financially prepared to pay the cost involved in repairing it. i will think twice before i even consider purchasing another toyota product. i also had one of my tailgate wire rope supports just corrode and break. how this happened i don't know. it is insulated with a thick plastic, the entire length. this is pending as is the a/c. i went to the toyota product for the quality and ended up regretting that i thought that toyota was a marque for quality. *tr | |||
