Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Heater core is defective. needs to be replaced @ $1100. did not notice trouble until weather turned cold so it probably started well before my 36000/36 months warranty ran out,plus we had a mild winter in md in 2006/07. vehicle had 39,377 when taken into dealer. mostly, i cannot believe the heater core would wear out so soon. it was most likely defective from the factory. i always noticed very little heat from the floor vents when vehicle was purchased but thought it was just a design issue, not a mechanical issue. the service manager @ another dealer was shocked it need replacement so soon. *jb |
