Hello everyone,

I ran across this thread when I first experienced this problem and have news to report. As you all well know, the problem is confirmed to be the Magnetic Compressor Clutch engaging when the AC unit is engaging. I have taken it in to the dealer three times in the last week for this problem and on the last visit I went on a scheduled ride with a FTS Toyota Tech and he deduced the problem to be the above.

The bad news is that Toyota is currently listing this issue as operating within system parameters and so they are saying the car is technically running normally and nothing can be done, as the car is "suppose" to do this.

I am currently in contact with Toyota/Scion to resolve the issue, fix/return, and will update this thread when I hear back from corporate. Hopefully the resolution of my case will give everyone options to solve this problem.

Thankz for the info,
-Plasma
