| I have had my 2009 Toyota Camry 17 months. I drive alot and have taken lots of trips to North Carolina, Texas, Lousiana, etc. so I am already up to 39,000 miles. So, this weekend I notice that my AC isn't cooling. I take it to the dealer today and they tell me my air compressor is out. Thankfully I bought the extended warrantly when I purchased the car so it is covered. Apparently the standard warranty is only good for 36,000 miles. The total bill is going to be like $2,300. I told the service guy that I would have been so incredibly upset had I not bought that extended warranty. I had a Corolla several years ago and never had one problem the 3 years that I had it. Nothing. I am really disappointed. If not for that extended warranty I would be stuck with new car with no AC. It is too hot in Arkansas not to have a car AC. I know this isn't normal but has anyone heard any problems like this with the 09s? I expect more from Toyota. Thanks. | |

I have an ’09 XLE. For the past few months the panic alarm has gone off while the car is parked. This is a totally random event that normally occurs at night. Yesterday it happened three time in the office lot while I was in a meeting in another building. Then when I got home it happened two more times. I found that this may have been an in issue in 2007, and that replacing the hood latch and sensor fixed the problem. When I called a local dealer about it I was told to bring it in and they would check the electrical system. When I mentioned the hood latch/sensor the rep said “Oh yea, I remember something like that”. I asked them to order the parts so this could be done in one visit and he refused. He said that if they didn’t find another reason they would then order the hood latch and sensor and I could come back a few days later. Is it unreasonable for me to expect them to pre-order the parts?
