| Description of the problem | At 26,000 miles the blend door for the air system broke (part # 68004226-ab). This caused the vents to be stuck in one position and could not get the defrost to work which became a safety issue since i could not defrost/defog the windshield. The part was replaced under warranty. I am now at 52,000 miles and the same part needs to be repaired again. This time out of warranty and at a cost of $740. |
