Consumer Description

THE RECIRCULATION/FRESH AIR FLAP DOOR CONNECTION TO THE ACTUATOR BROKE OFF AND FELL INTO THE AC HEATER BLOWER MOTOR FAN. CURRENT RESULTS ARE; 1) NO CONTROL OVER AIR FLOW WHETHER WITHIN THE CABIN (RECIRCULATION VERSUS "FRESH" AIR) AND 2) THAT IT MAKES A TERRIBLE NOISE AND VIBRATION AS THE BROKEN PART IS WITHIN THE CIRCULAR FAN. EVENTUAL RESULT COULD BE 1) BURN-OUT OF THE FAN MOTOR WITH POSSIBLE OVERHEATING OF THE FAN MOTOR (ELECTRICAL FIRE?), 2) HEAT PROBLEMS FOR PASSENGERS 3) FAILURE TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD UNDER COLD CONDITIONS. IN READING INTERNET POSTINGS (FORUMS), THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A HIGH COST TO HAVE REPAIRED, FOR A SIMPLE BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC.
