Consumer Description

2012 KIA SEDONA HEATER WIRE HARNESS ON DRIVE SIDE FAILED AND MELTED ALL THE WIRES UNDER THE DASH. MECHANIC STATED IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE HEATER CONTROL FOR THE FRONT STOPPED WORKING WHICH SENT US TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE HEATER CONTROL FAILED. IT WAS VERY GOOD THIS HAPPENED DURING THE WINTER OTHERWISE THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE WE WOULD NOT NEED HEAT.
