Is it normal that a blower would die so quickly?
I thought I'd ask here since I really don't know much about cars and would love some input on this situation.
Basically this is my first car, it's a 2014 Chevrolet Trax.
Now I've had this car for 1 year and 8 months and it has around 70000km on it.
So far the oil pan has had a leak, it was also leaking transmission fluid, and has had numerous little electrical problems. All fixed at the dealership under warranty, but not without having to demand they fix the problems, they ignored the leaks for months.
But as of last night, the blower for the heat and a/c has died. Which is incredibly irritating since my partner has his G driving test on Monday, leaving us no time to get this fixed and no time to cancel/reschedule the test....
We looked inside where the cabin air filter is and can see the blower, there's no air movement, the blower isn't spinning, it's dead. We tried checking fuses, swapped a few of the same resistance, no results. No settings on the dials seem to change it.
Is it normal for this type of thing to die in a car that's under 2 years old? Is there something I could have done to prevent this? I feel like I've been hosed with the little problems accumulating with this new car.
I'm thinking of picking up something like this: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/12v-w ... 3402p.html for the time being so that the driving test can go forward, then take it to the dealership on Monday to get the blower fixed... hope it's under warranty -_-
