| Description of the problem | H. V. A. C. Controls start to go out, then go out completely. The part that fails is the blend doors. This causes a loss of temperature control, directional, and or power control. When the h. V. A. C. Is not working correctly, the windshield and side windows can fog up obstructing the driver's view. The whole problem is due to a plastic part working against a metal part, that causes failure of the plastic tabs. |
