TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 OLDSMOBILE ALERO. THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER, LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE BACK PANEL BY THE REAR WINDOW, BECOMES VERY HOT AND MELTS. IT MELTED THE CONNECTION AND THE BOX THAT CONTAINS THE MODULE. AS A RESULT, THE DEFOGGER DOES NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TO A DEALER OR REPAIR SHOP. THE CONTACT HAS FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THIS FAILURE AND BELIEVES A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE MASTER SWITCH, A/C COMPRESSOR, CRANK SENSOR, FUEL PUMP, FUEL TANK, HAZARD SWITCH, AND THE WINDOW REGULATOR WERE REPLACED. THE MECHANICS REPOSITIONED A WIRE HARNESS FROM THE CRANK SENSOR AND REPLACED THE PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID. THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING IN TRAFFIC IN WHICH THERE WAS ALMOST AN ACCIDENT.
