“Problem occurred when vehicle was in motion and stopped. A/c blower motor stopped working after 2.5-3 years. When going to check, area was extremely hot to the touch. Took to dealer and they replaced the blower motor. Seems to me that this shouldn't occur on such a young vehicle (under 55k). Could have started a fire. Additionally, the rear A/C unit over the 3rd row seat went bad. Total cost to repair $1300.”
