Consumer Description

ON FEB 9, 2006 OUR BLOWER MOTOR WOULD ONLY WORK ON HIGH. WE TOOK IT IN THEN AND THEY REPLACED THE RESISTOR, NEVER MENTIONING A POTENTIAL WATER PROBLEM THAT WOULD LEAD TO BLOWER MOTOR FAILURE. ON JUNE 25, 2006 OUR BLOWER MOTOR WENT OUT. WE TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND WERE TOLD A WATER LEAK CAUSED THIS & THEY REPLACED IT & TOLD US ABOUT A BONNET THEY COULD INSTALL SO THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. WE FEEL WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOLD IN FEBRUARY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND GIVEN THE CHANCE TO PURCHASE THE BONNNET AT THAT TIME, INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR A NEW BLOWER MOTOR IN JUNE. WE FEEL THESE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT ON THESE VEHICLES IN THE FIRST PLACE AND NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. *JB
