The first sign of a problem is unexplained…

Repeated failure of blower fan for which there is apparently not a suitable fix from jeep. Current fix is either (a) part from supplier other than jeep which fails every 6-9 months or (b) jeep recommended part which reduced air volume so dramatically that defrosting windows is unsafe. Failure of the blower motor is also unsafe due to the inability to defrost the windows. *tr
