Consumer Description

AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATORS FAILING IN JEEP VEHICLES FROM 96 ON UP, CHEROKEES IN PARTICULAR. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL THROUGH NORMAL USE. THE EVAPORATOR IS INSTALLED IN THE HEATER BOX BEHIND THE DASHBOARD AND TAKES 8 HOURS OF LABOR TO REPLACE. THIS IS A COMMON ITEM TO FAIL BUT I THOUGHT I'D ACTUALLY FILE A COMPLAINT AND SEE IF SOMETHING COULD BE DONE. THIS ALSO RESULTS IN VERY POOR DEFROSTING OF THE WINDSHIELD. *NM
