Blower motor failed at 78K miles excessive liquid draining when running ac was told that motor had been "redesigned" and that parts alone would cost over $300 because in addition to redesigning the motor, a new wiring harness has to be installed!!! remember the $300 is for the hard part and wiring only, not the labor to install...this is completely ridiculous when a motor for the same model manufactured a year earlier is only 20.00!!!!! as far as the excessive liquids running from under the vehicle while the ac is running, this site was the first indicator as to what is wrong with it...(I simply though it was a design flaw) also this complaint has been edited to let you know that "running boards has nothing to do with this...it seems one has to go through the process flawlessly or begin again completely!!!
