| Description of the problem | I was driving done a busy street in downtown gardnerville, nv when toxic fumes were emitted into my car making my eyes water and feeling of disorientation. Luckily i was able to pull over quickly. Initially i did not know what was wrong but when i completed the errand i stopped for i realized my air conditioning was not working. I took this into my mechanic who advised my of all the parts that needed replacing. I am still waiting on a part and in the meantime i have a visual of what happened. The air conditioning dial is a burnt out mess until the final repair can be accomplished. If this happened in a location where i could not stop quickly this may have resulted in a serious accident. I have requested the mechanic to keep all the part affected in the event they are needed. |
