Crazy Heat in Our Car
I was constantly on of those teenagers who said I would never own a minivan when I had teenagers, of course, I now have three teenagers & drive a minivan.
I literally hate the looks of minivans, but they are just too practical to ignore.
My hate for our minivan grew as it seemed to have complication after problem. Although it only had 50,000 miles on it when we bought it, we ended up having to replace the transmission in the first year of owning it. It ran well for about two years, & then our heating system started acting up one afternoon. I noticed that I wasn’t able to adjust the blower. My wife was on a two week long corporation trip, & I didn’t want to spend the money to go to the dealership to get it checked out, so I decided to search online to try & figure out the problem. The blower wasn’t turning off when I turned the vehicle off either, so that meant if I didn’t fix the complication within the afternoon, I would run the vehicle battery dead. We had to make two other trips that afternoon to football games for my teenagers, & the vehicle got so hot. The heating system was either on full blast or completely off. I finally broke down & called a acquaintance of mine from private school who is a Heating & Air Conditioning professional. Although she didn’t usually work with cars, she figured out that I had a disappointing receptacle & fixed the issue. I am so blissful that the ridiculous heating system is no longer stuck on full blast!
