| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I took our 2003 oz rally lanser to the dealer for a recall. i told them the heating and cooling knob was hard to turn from hot to cold and from cold to hot. i felt like it would break if you force it. they put oil on the knob and said they are all like that on this model. it is now so hard to turn we try not to because it will break. i have read all the complaints on this model and it sounds like a lot of people are having the same problem, but some of them have broken the knob stating that it cost them 500-900 dollars to get fixed. i fell that this should be a recall if that knob was to break in a ice storm you would not be able to turn the defroster or heater on. in the mid-west that could be a safety issue. *tr |
