| Blower motor failed at 78k miles excessive liquid draining when running ac was told that motor had been redesigned and that parts alone would cost over 300.00 because in addition to redesigning the motor, a new wiring harness has to be installed!!! remember the 300.00 is for the hard part and wiring only, not the labor to install...this is completely ridiculous when a motor for the same model manufactured a year earlier is only 20.00!!!!! as far as the excessive liquids running from under the vehicle while the ac is running, this site was the first indicator as to what is wrong with it...(i simply though it was a design flaw) also this complaint has been edited to let you know that running boards has nothing to do with this...it seems one has to go through the process flawlessly or begin again completely!!! *nm | |||

| I feel it is necessary to report an incident with the potential for death. the rear windows in this vehicle can close with such force that it can strangle, decapitate, suffocate or collapse the airway of a child. my child almost died as a result of an inadvertant closing of the window with the child's head sticking out of the window while parked. garage doors have a safety mechanism to prevent crushing or death, why not auto windows! i will be forwarding my concerns to the detroit free press. please respond. | |||
