The problem occurs during the middle of your drive. the power will just shut off as if there is no power going to the AC meaning the blower turns off, as well as the AC lights. I had to turn off and on the AC control a few times to get it to come on.

Tacoma TRD Offroad 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,631 miles

Mt truck was not even a month old and the AC popped and stopped working for no reason. The fact that the AC didn't work was not the real issue, when you buy a brand new ( new model) truck, you do not expect these problems. I took it in to my Toyota Dealer and everyone was cool and helpful, but no one seemed to really feel my pain. I was driving around a little two year old and his mom , and there were some uncomfortable moments. I asked Toyota Headquarters for a rental truck with a working AC. They said they could not do so, since it was not a safety issue. Some days and nights were really hot and muggy. Driving on the freeways with the windows open is not ideal. Anyway, they said they needed to get parts , so I picked up the truck the next day and they said they would call me when the parts came in. One week went by, then 3-4 weeks, by the time they got the parts, 3 months went by !! I took the truck in and they took care of it right away and the AC seems fine, since. I cannot believe it took that long to get a 'Special O-Ring'...? 3 months without AC is not good. But, in all fairness, the representative at Toyota Headquarters was really helpful , caring and seemed to have done all he could to help me get things taken care of. He called me regularly and kept me updated on the parts ETA. I had a 2009 Tacoma prior to this one , which I purchased brand new also. I did not have any questionable issues with that truck... I loved it !!. Kinda sorry I traded it in. I think the biggest issue , is that I have lost a lot of confidence in my new truck.... I keep wondering, what else is going to go wrong... sure enough, I now have other issues. ( see other complaints....Wind noise and Suspension noise ...)
