Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEATER CONTROL SWITCH TWO TIMES OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING HARNESS OVERHEATING AT THE WHITE CLIP (WHERE IT PLUGS INTO THE HEATER CONTROL UNIT. IF LEFT UNDETECTED, IT MELTS THE PLASTIC OF THE SWITCH MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SWITCH FROM HI TO LOW. RESEARCH ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL DOES NOT INDICATE A RECALL, HOWEVER, I FOUND AN INDICATION THAT SATURN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS MADE REPAIRS TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. I AM CONCERNED THIS MAY EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A FIRE HAZARD, IF NOT THAT THEN A COSTLY REPAIR. I HAVE REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR, BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND HEATER CONTROL UNIT. COULD COST NEARLY $1000.00 BASED ON ESTIMATES THROUGH DEALERSHIP. *TR
