Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Yesterday I started my vehicle and turned on the A/C. The A/C blower was blowing at the highest setting regardless of the control setting. I turned the A/C off and the blower remained on. I turned the ignition off and the blower continued to run. The blower continued to run for approximately 8 minutes while my husband researched online how to get it to stop. The blower did not stop running until my husband removed the fuse. If my husband would not have been with me the blower would have continuously ran, causing it to overheat, and possibly causing a fire. …”
