NHTSA Complaint #11149641 — 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN EMITTING COLD AIR ON DRIVERS SIDE, AND WARM AIR ON PASSENGER SIDE AUG 2018. DEALER SAID REAR EVAPORATOR COIL LEAKING DUE TO CORROSION. CAR ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. REPLACEMENT PARTS $1,254 AND REPLACEMENT PARTS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 2 YEARS. GM NEEDS TO USE METAL PARTS THAT DON'T CORRODE, AS COIL IS LOCATED UNDER THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL. POOR ENGINEERING AS IT WILL GET LOTS OF CORROSIVE SPRAY WITH NO WAY TO CLEAN IT AS IT IS SURROUNDED BY A METAL PLATE WITH SMALL HOLES. THIS PART SHOULD BE ENCLOSED SOMEHOW AWAY FROM CORROSIVE ROAD SPRAY. I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER, AND REIMBURSEMENT FROM GM TO ME BECAUSE OF POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN.
