i posted about the 07 tC hvac going bad last week and alot of you guys told me to call the scoin headquarter so i did and they said that they have not had any problems with that. so now i dont know what to do in order to get mine fix please help i desperately need to fix my hvac its really bothering me i cant c nutin in my car at nite

 

take it to the dealer..

 

i did take it to the dealer they said they wouldnt warranty it bcuz i got an aftermarket headunit and alarm

 

*sigh*... go to another dealer..?

 

where'd you go?? If your anywhere near Rancho Santa Margarita bring it over to Toyota RSM. They've fixed every little thing ive had with my car and no problems from them. Now my car is completely stock or scion genuine accesories so that could be why i havent had an issue with them but there great over here i really recommend going to them if thats not who you've already gone 2 see.

 

i m planning to take it to another dealer but i havent got the chance to cuz im always working im plannin to take it again on this week n jus drop it off again and have someone take me to work and pick it up afterwards i jus hope to get it fix soon

thank you SquallLHeart i really appreciate your help and everyone else that has try to help

 

If it is just your HVAC unit lights that are out, tell them they need to check the control unit that holds all of the wires together back there (sort of looks like a naked ECU. I took mine into the dealer with the same problem (no mods done at all). Service guy told me they are having a lot of these come in and are not fixing them but replacing them completely so they can send the broken ones back to toyota to fix. If you need a part # I can post it up here off of the service sheet I got.

 

yes please n can i please have the number to the dealership you took it to please any infomation you think might help me please inform me

 

If you still have your stock stuff, just return the car to stock and take it to another dealership.

 

yea thats what im goin to do but then wat about my alarm thats not that easy to take out as a headunit

 

I would try the headunit first, take it to another dealership. If that doesn't work, then have the aftermarket security system taken out and take it somehwere else. At that point, I wonder if it would just be cheaper to pay the dealership to fix it? Probably not. Maybe if you can prove that the security system/head unit is not part of the problem, you should contact an attorney.

 

about that warranty deal. Its a law that the dealership can't void your warranty on a specific issue unless they prove what you did to the car affects whats broken... ie. your head unit is the soul cause of your hvac problem. So if you wana take it back there and get it in writing that they said they wont warranty it b/c of the head unit or alarm. You can use it against them b/c they didn't prove it

 

tell the person who installed the HU/alarm to fix it since (assuming) it broke after he installed those items...

 

we installed it ourself at the shop my cusion owns there is nutin wrong with the headunit its an 07 tc defect if you dont know nutin about it

 

i was wondering is the HVAC problem a defect? that just happens with stock 07 tC's, cause i wanted to change the LED's in the HVAC but now im a little iffy if its gonna stop working on me or worse

 

they changed the design of the hvac control board on the 07's.. I remember enginfineer talking about it before.

Looks like when they changed the design they resulted in these defects happening. And for Toyota to say "oh we don't know about it" is just more mis-truth, oh yeah, a lie. lol They know all about it, many 07 tC's are having this happen, a lot!

 

I had the LEDs behind my HVAC go out about 1.5 months ago and of course I had an aftermarket headunit. I did some research on the forums, put my stock headunit back in and took it to the dealer. The part was backordered for a couple of weeks but it was just replaced last week and its good as new.

for what its worth the toyota tech told me alot 07's were having this problem and they were NOT giving people a hard time who had aftermarket head units... this was Boch Toyota in southern Massachusetts. thought i would pass this along.

 

unfortunately i still am experiencing issues with certain dealerships replacing them under warranty..

DAVE! we neeeeed to figure out what is wrong with these things!

 

wat are the signs of havening the problem, just haveing the leds go off? or is there something else? and so the new replacement wont have any problems with it any more?
