1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2019

We have a 2016 Dodge grand Caravan that has been diagnosed by a mechanic to need a rear ac evaporator installed at a cost of over $1000. 00. This is unacceptable as we were told it is a known mopar problem. As the head of household for a family of five, I don't know where to find this amount of money for the repair. This van was purchased to accommodate our 17 year old son with duchennes muscular dystrophy. He cannot ride in this vehicle with the amount of heat summer brings. We don't know what to do. . .
