Most Popular MAXXAIR for Volkswagen Touareg

This Exceeded our expectations; we didn't know that this would have such an impact on how much air was moved by this vent fan. I was in, then out of the "Doghouse" for the cost of this (the wife did her own research after I had) and then the wait; the unit this replaced was leaking water as it rained outside. Within a week of ordering this it was delivered, and the following day I got it installed. Installation directions were very simple to understand/follow; the hard part was removing the old vent fan and caulk. Another "Bonus" was how quite this is compared to the original.

etailer's selection and service were great. I specifically wanted the fan with the white cover, which not every vendor stocked, and we wanted the fan delivered quickly, so I was willing to pay a bit of a premium to get both. I received excellent support from Ashley throughout the ordering and shipping process. I needed to make some last-minute changes to my shipping request, which were quickly arranged, and I received the fan the next day!

I have two of these installed in our stepvan - they were one of the first things we installed during the build process, and thank goodness we did because they kept us cooler during the summer build. Easy to use, the multiple-fan settings are nice, and the exhaust feature can pull a lot of air. We don't have AC, so these fans make a huge difference in pulling out hot air and replacing with outside air. Great service from etrailer - I ordered the wrong fan the first time and they were great to work with in getting another shipped out to me.

Installed this 15 months ago, worked pretty well, bearings make some noise, and fan has slight wobble, but worse-off, just this week began to turn on by itself, and via the control panel would sometimes turn off when I pressed the power button, but most buttons just don't do anything when pressed. I had to disconnect the power, then re-connect, and, at first, it would be okay, but now it just stays on at a high speed when connected to power and unable to change anything on it, power, speed, direction. > > Now it just turns on when I connect power, and none of the control panel buttons do anything. > > It is connected to 12 V system 2 100 ah lithium batteries to buss bar and fuse box. >What a shame at over $200 you would think this would last at least 3-5 years. But, I suppose these days of cheap manufacturing and execs making more top dollar, well, we consumers pay the price. > What can be done to fix this control panel issue?
