Consumer Description

BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR HEATED UP TO THE POINT THAT THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE WIRES AND THE RESISTOR HAD BOTH BEEN CHARRED AND MELTED. NOT ONLY DO I NO LONGER HAVE ANY HEAT OR A/C BUT I ALSO NO LONGER HAVE A WINDOW DEFROSTER AND THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO MYSELF, ANY PASSENGERS I MAY HAVE AND AS WELL TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. NOT TO MENTION THE FIRE THAT WAS ONLY BARELY THWARTED OFF.
