I have a 2010 Tacoma, and when I ran the heat or air conditioning, it would make a screaming sound. I figured the motor would be bad, especially after I googled and that recall came up. Almost bought the parts but then I watched this video. Turns out I had a gigantic leaf stuck in my cabin air filter that was hitting the fan. Thanks for making this video - saved me a lot of time and effort!

I enjoyed doing An oil change on my rav4. Thank you my friend.

First, I want to say I enjoy your videos! I wish you were my mechanic!! I have a Tundra and a Land Cruiser. My son drives a Corolla. Only one other brand in the garage: BMW and that's a motorcycle. I replaced the blower assembly on a 2016 Golf R with 15,000 miles on it. Similar process. The motor was destroyed and would barely turn. What lead to the failure was: replacing a stock air filter with an "upgraded" non-OEM carbon fiber impregnated filter (I thought it would do a better job of purifying the air) Well, it turns out the carbon dust was drawn into the bearings and destroyed the motor.

The fan motor on my 2021 4Runner has a growl to it, and sometimes it would take several seconds for the high setting to finally start working. I figured I had willow oak leaves down in there, because our neighbor has several trees adjacent to our property. It didn't have many leaves. I took the motor out and found that it had some play in it. I took the 4Runner to the dealership since it's under warranty, not telling them I already had the motor out of it. They tried telling me they found leaves in there. It still growls, I gave the service dept a shitty review on the survey for making me wait three hours for stating a problem I know full well doesn't exist (leaves). They just didn't have a motor in stock at the dealership. I F'n hate liars. I'll probably just replace the damn motor assembly myself. It's worth it....$75..... to not have to drive out of town to the dealership and waste half a day waiting.

So weird! my 2016 Off Road, 4x4, all of a sudden just shut off. (green ac light went off and stays off). When I push the AC button on, I can hear it run then it shuts off, green ac light goes off. I checked the fuse and the replay, they are working properly. I had a friend come over and he said the compressor is running which is good news, however, he then assumed the refrigerant its empty so he was going to add freon but, his gage says the freon in full. That is where we are confused. Also its the 1234y NOT the usual 123A. Any insights? I want to sell this truck but I need to get this fixed first. We live in Florida. We do NOT have the $$ to have it serviced or even diagnosed at a local toyota dealership, they are way expensive. Just installed new air cabin filter, it was atrociously bad, but that hasn't fixed it at all. ???Help???

I’ve had at least 6 recalls and a few issues under warranty then minor things like the temp compass goes bad and the blower on those weren’t good either and the clock spring. but the bad one is the paint not the wheels bubbled. The paint on the flares is eroding away. Then the paint on the hood is rupturing out form the inside. The quality is not what it used to be at all.
