Consumer Description

MY FAN HIGH SPEED BURST OUT AND I HAD A STRONG ELSE TRIAL BURNING SMELL. I HAD MY TRUCK LOOKED AT TO FIND THAT MY WIRING HARNESS AND RESISTOR HAD BURNT. I HAD THEM REPLACED THIS LAST SEPTEMBER. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO MORE RESISTORS AND ONE MORE WIRING HARNESS. I TALKED TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE, "SPECIAL WARRANTY ADJUSTMENT". I HAD TO RESEARCH THE INTERNET TO FIND THIS OUT. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER, THEY BLAMED ME FOR NOT KNOWING THE LANGUAGE. I AM GLAD I DID NOT BURN MY TRUCK UP LIKE SEVERAL OTHER HAD (FOUND ON THE INTERNET). NOW THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT MAIN CONTROLLER HAS FAILED AND I HAVE TO PAY OVER $400 IN REPAIRS. HOW DO I KNOW THAT THE MAIN CONTROLLER DID NOT BURN OUT THE RESISTOR OR WIRING HARNESS? I AM CONCERNED THAT LARGE CORPORATIONS ARE PLAYING WITH OUR LIVES. *TR
