| Description of the problem | While driving in the early am with fog and humidity, the defroster stopped blowing warm air, as air was diverted though the dash vents and not the defroster vents. I had made sure the dial was turned all the way to the right (defrost) but air was still coming out dash vents. Had to pull over as dash was fogging up. No matter what vent is selected on the dial, air not continues to blow through dash vents. This is a safety issue. |
