Description of the problem | In my 2009 toyota camry le, the recirculation switch turns off after about three minutes, letting in air from the outside. This is an ongoing problem whenever i'm behind a diesel vehicle. My car fills with fumes that affect my breathing. The first time i went to the toyota dealer, they said it was a standard fix, and would cost me $50. When i went in a second time, and said i didn't want to pay, they said there was no way to fix it. It's clear to me that this is a design defect, that will have a detrimental effect on the driver and passengers, and that toyota needs to fix it. |
