#4897 of 5127 Camry 2007 A/C Compressor problem by rosa1al Sep 28, 2009 (9:19 am)
The A/C Compressor on my 2007 Camry failed at 37,700 miles, The repair for this will be $ 3,500. Is anybody aware of simular A/C compressor problems? I do not understand that a part so vital can break with just 37,700 on it.

Replying to: rosa1al (Sep 28, 2009 9:19 am) Never heard (read) of it being common at all - first I've heard is yours. I'd try calling Toyota, since you are just over the 36,000 miles. I don't if you are past the 3 years, but if you are a little over on either it is worth calling them and trying to get them to pay or help pay for it.   If not, an independent shop would be MUCH cheaper.

Replying to: rosa1al (Sep 28, 2009 9:19 am) Seems like a pretty steep repair charge. Have you scrutinized the charges, and/or called around for competitive bids?   Just looked up the compressor part online on Napa, new is $634, remanufactured is $314. Will need to flush, possibly accumulator and filter, and recharge...but $3500....please. That's over triple what I'd want to get it done for.   NAPA Toyota Compressor Replies to this message: berri (Sep 28, 2009 11:13 am)

Replying to: rosa1al (Sep 28, 2009 9:19 am) ......and if you can't get any help from the dealer/manufacturer.......do not pass go....do not collect 200 dollars.......go directly to your local wrecker and pick up a compressor from a Camry that's been "totalled". The part is probably a "universal" fit for many model years.......therefore should be in good supply AND under HALF the price of a factory replacement. Good luck, Mike Replies to this message: wwest (Sep 28, 2009 11:18 am) colloquor (Sep 28, 2009 1:50 pm)

Replying to: kiawah (Sep 28, 2009 9:30 am) Isn't $3500 around where Honda is gouging its customers for CRV AC failures? Maybe Toyota is using the same vendor for its AC units? These kind of things may be good for Ford and GM!

Replying to: notmybmw (Sep 28, 2009 9:32 am) Careful...somewhere in there Toyota has switched to variable displacement A/C compressors, still fairly rare..EXPENSIVE. Replies to this message: colloquor (Sep 28, 2009 1:50 pm)

Replying to: wwest (Sep 28, 2009 11:18 am) Reason enough to stay away from cars with bleeding edge hi-tech components... and, yes, you can still buy quality vehicles that don't use such high cost components.   I've said this all along, all of these hi-tech oriented vehicles are fine, until you start paying "out of warranty" repair costs. Old technology may not be superior, but it sure is cheaper.

Replying to: rosa1al (Sep 28, 2009 9:19 am) No compressor issues here "YET" but I just had to replace the Condenser - luckily not too hard, hubby bought the part online for $110 and replaced it himself. Just had a friend Evac it for us and paid him $50. Wouldn't take it to Toyota if my life depended on it. Would rather suffer in the heat!
