NHTSA Complaint #10748924 — 2007 JEEP LIBERTY

THE AC BEGAN BLOWING HOT ASSUMING IT JUST NEEDED SERVICE TOOK TO MY MECHANIC, HE SAID THE AC LIGHT ON THE BUTTON ON THE DASH WAS ALSO NOT WORKING BUT FREON PRESSURE WAS FINE, TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT NEEDS HVAC CONTROL THAT IT HAD GONE OUT CAUSED CLUTCH TO SEIZE AND THEN CAUSED COMPRESSOR TO HAVE A SMALL FIRE. THEY ARE RECOMMENDING REPLACEMENT OF BOTH AT 463 FOR HVAC CONTROL HEAD AND AC COMPRESSOR AT 738 FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF APPROX. 1200 FOR REPAIRS. THIS HVAC SYSTEM HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CATCH FIRE IN THE PASSENGER AREA AND HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT MY VEHICLE VIN DOES NOT MATCH THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A DANGEROUS VEHICLE FIRE AND THIS IS MY FAMILY VEHICLE THAT MY 20YR OLD AND 10 YEAR OLD SON OFTEN RIDE IN.
