Description of the problem | The heating control unit knob does not set on the various settings (1-4) and does not blow heat or air correctly. Many people have had this issue and end up having to replace the unit themselves. The issue is the contacts get burned out and no longer work. This is a serious fire hazard and i dont know why a recall hasnt been issued. If you search online you will see numerous examples of what i am referring to. If i replace this myself i have to risk damaging my car or electrocuting myself and paying for an expensive part. The other option is have a mechanic do it and end up spending over 500$ for something that should not be malfunctioning. Please investigate this serious issue and do the right thing. |
