In owners' own words
There is a high pitch electrical whine coming from the fan blower (right side by the glove compartment) noise causes pain to my right ear after hearing it consistently which I believe will become a health problem. Vehicle has had blower replaced by Toyota dealer with no fix. There are numerous complaints found on Toyota forums describing this exact issue and nothing has been done to rectify this issue.
