I HAVE A 2017 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH 53000 MILES ON IT. THE SQUIRREL CAGE ON THE AC BLOWER MOTOR BROKE TODAY DURING A 100 DEGREE DAY. FROM WHAT I CAN SEE ON LINE THERE IS A BACK ORDER ON THE REPLACEMENT PART. THE PLASTIC FEMALE PORT FOR THE SHAFT CRACKED IN HALF AND NOT THE CAGE MAKES A HORRENDOUS NOISE. POOR DESIGN: METAL SHAFT SPINNING INSIDE PLASTIC IS A RECIPE FOR A STRESS CRACK WHICH IS WHAT THIS APPEARS TO BE. MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO NOW I AM STUCK PAYING FOR THE REPAIR!!
