| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The vehicle in question is a 1997 ford explorer with 38643km. the a/c heater unit was blowing out only cool air. does not help when you get -30c weather and you try to defrost your windshield with cold air. yes it is out of the 3 year warranty period but certainly not the 60000km. i do not understand how a vehicle with less than 40000km can have such a problem ? ford's answer is as follows: cause: diagnosed-temp blend door is broke. correction: replaced interior heater case. ford refuses to pay any portion because it is out of warranty. other websites with same problem listed: http://www.mightyautoparts.com/data/otl1200.pdf http://www.carsurvey.org/viewcomments_review_16717.html http://www.epinions.com/content_66590314116 |
