So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Air conditioning - after 100,000 miles I had to replace my air conditioning system due to leaks. Now I am having problem with water leaking into my car. The replacement parts for the air conditioning are not properly made (in my opinion). There is no drain hose to the evaporator - just a lip - that is suppose to drain out onto the ground. The lip is not long enough to allow the water to dip properly. Therefore, I kept getting water in my backseat floorboard.
The horn will not work consistently. The lights will flash on an off erratically while driving. The lights will come on after being turned off and parked overnight leaving the battery dead. The fan motor has failed for the defroster again. This is the second repair. In the snow belt this is a safety related feature.
Consumer states the drainage for the air conditioning is getting clogged and flowing into the vehicle's back seat causing flooding. Vehicle repaired by dlr in 06/01, but problem reoccurred in 07/01. In 12/01 the evaporator was replaced and a screen was inserted into the drain vent area. Repair was only temporary as leaking reocurred 09/20/02. Nlm
Consumer states that when turning on the air conditioner, there was hot air blowing out of the fent. Took to dealer and they put on a new evaporater coil. Consumer states this corrected the problem.
Wire module to HVAC blower failed. It was extremely hot, made a burning smell, and melted part of the blower motor housing. The wire module and blower motor were replaced. After 1 month, the wire module failed again. (same as the first occurrence: Burning smell and very hot)
