Consumer Description

I PARKED MY TRUCK THE BLOWER WORKED FINE GOT IN IT 2 HOURS LATTER AND IT DID NOT WORK.THE WIRES TO MY BLOWER MELTED AND HOT ALMOST STARTED A FIRE IN MY TRUCK. NO SMELL NO SIGN OF THE WIRES GETTING HOT. THE ONLY THING I NOTICED WAS THE CONTROL PANEL GOT HOT WHEN IT WAS ON SO I KEPT IT OFF. IF I HAD NOT TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP 2 DAYS AFTER MY BLOWER STOPED WORKING I MIGHT NOT HAVE MY TRUCK. IT MIGHT HAVE CAUGHT FIRE WITH MY KIDS AND I IN IT OR WITH MY 17 YEAR OLD DRIVEING. A RECALL ON THIS PART WOULD BE NICE OR FIND OUT WHY IT IS DOING THIS.
