1993 Ford Aerostar Heating & air conditioning Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the heating or air-conditioning system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Heating & air conditioning reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
