Default 2009 LX : 3rd row air climate control system acting funk.

This summer our 3rd row climate control system decide to stop working with a very ugly out of aliggnment blower motor sound and the lack of cold air. We stopped using it all together, Front A/C is fine.

I'm concerned this a is a massive job to have be done and the truck is just out of CPO.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Is it going to be as painful as I think it is?

Thanks!

I had this issue, it was fixed as mine was a cpo. there was a ac gas leak for the 2nd ac system somewhere in the front of the car. I think it was a 2k job but was covered under Lexus.

A freon leak would affect both front and rear a/c. OP stated that issue was with the rear a/c and noted a blower motor noise.

OP, I'd start praying it's the rear blower.

that would make sense; but what I was told there was a leak in the pipe that goes to the 2nd system. I had no noise and air Flow was good just not cold.
