problem #3

The blower module wire harness continually goes out. I have replaced it twice and the same thing happens. Appears to me that there is some sort of short in the wiring. If you take off the bad harness and look down in the connectors one of them is always burnt up. I worry that it could cause a potential fire hazard. I know that I am not the only person that is happening to. I continually check internet blogs and it seems to happen more often than not.

The consumer stated the vehicle has push buttons to change to 4-wheel drive. Without warning the vehicle changed from 2-wheel drive to 4-wheel drive without touching the controls. The dealer changed the computer and said they could not find the cause of the problem. Caller said loaner vehicle did the same thing. Manufacturer said they could not find the cause of the problem either. Had vehicle 7 times at dealer for this problem. The air condition was not cooling properly, therefore the dealer replaced the ac condenser.
