| Description of the problem | Under slow speed about 10 mph car was making a left turn in buffalo,ny in late november and slid on ice into a curb(passenger front wheel) and recovered. 3 weeks passed noticed that the ambient temperature in car was reading anywhere from 100 to -40 degrees and then the display would disappear. Also defroster was running intermittently. Took car in for service, they said that temperature sensor attached in the wheel area was damaged along with the wires being corroded that were attached to the sensor. Dealer stated that this could causes a variety of problems later like the defroster shutting down along with any kind of circulation. This could be dangerous in winter. Also, they noted that this would not be covered under warranty. So, mind you if you slid into to anything, this would happen again. I believe that this part could have been placed in a safer spot to avoid this kind of damage. Why would you make this kind of part so vulnerable to the enviroment. |
