Battery coolant heater class action? This is round two for me....

Hi all,

I just got the code pulled on my latest CEL. It is the POE15. Same as last May when they replaced the first battery coolant heater.

9 months later and the problem is back.

I had told a Walnut Creek, CA service center tech in June that I was still having problems with my heat/defrost after the repairs. He dismissed my concern, claiming it was fine and that the center (in another state) that replaced the coolant heater, must've just failed to bleed the system. I've had intermittent problems with the heat/defrost since. Today the service manager at the Walnut Creek service center said that I could still drive vehicle, but I likely wouldn't have heat in hybrid mode. So it seems they are related after all. I was also told I wouldn't be able to charge vehicle so long as this problem remains.

In light of the numerous accounts of this failure, including others like me with multiple failures, I am going to be calling class action attorneys today. Last time I spoke with one, there were not nearly as many accounts of this failure. That was 8 months ago. Now there are so many I'm surprised there isn't already a firm seeking certification.

Feel free to contact me via messaging if interested.
