Funny thing happened on the way to the 5,000 mile checkup for our new 2004 Prius...the A/C blew and the temp was in the 90s (of course). The dealer checked it out and said there was a tiny hole in the condenser that caused the freon to spray out. I asked if that was covered by the warranty. You can guess what he said...no. He said there was a "pinhole" leak in the condenser, probably caused by a rock. I'm waiting to see what the insurance adjuster says when he inspects the invisible hole.
So, maybe more out of curiosity, I'm looking for a condenser, but can't find one. Seems Toyota is the sole source. In case you're wondering, the estimate is about $850.
Can you believe this? Anyone have a similar issue with a Prius? Love the car otherwise, except for the upgraded audio system which needs work.
