Consumer Description

ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO I GOT THIS CLICKING NOISE BEHIND MY DASH AND MY HEAT QUIT WORKING. WELL IF IT WOULD CLICK AGAIN IT WOULD WORK. WELL IT FINALLY QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH MITSUBISHI SEEMS TO BE PUTTING BAD HEAT CONTROL MOTORS IN THEIR CARS. MY CAR 2002 AND IT STARTED THIS IN 2004. AS MUCH AS I'VE PAID FOR THIS CAR THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP PART TO HAVE FIXED AS I HAVE FOUND FROM MY RESEARCH. IT WOULD BE ONE THING IF I WAS THE ONLY ONE IT HAPPENED TO BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MITSUBISHIS AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THEIR FAULTY PART. THANK YOU! *TR
