1996 Toyota Camry Radiator replacement

Engine Cooling


I'd like some advice. I replaced the original radiator on my Camry in July 2006 after a major crack/leak and now I had to replace it again in May 2008 because it was leaking. An after market radiator was installed in 2006 with a 12 month warranty. I think this is unbelievable that the radiator would fail in under 2 years. I know after market is not the same quality as the original part, but the Toyota part cost seemed excessive given the age of the car. Do you think I have any recourse by contacting the manufacturer or distributor of the radiator and complaining about the quality of the product? It was a metal radiator (aka aluminum I guess). Thank you!
