| My new 2005 toyota tacoma makes a moaning whining sound when the air conditioner compressor is on and the noise is more noticeable at between 1200 and 1500 rpm. i took it to toyota and they said they heard the noise but it was normal in their opinion as they heard others make the same noise. the noise is annoying and the truck has only 900 miles on it. what do you suggest i do?*jb | |||
