| Description of the problem | Windshield defroster does not work when first starting vehicle and when car idling. Dangerous because no visibility in cold conditions. Also, no heat on driver's side. Honda released service bulletin 14-063 so they know about this issue but have done nothing to repair. I just paid the dealer $618 to have the heater core flushed 3 times but there is no guarantee that the issue will not return. Very dangerous if driving in cold, icy conditions with low visibility and relying on defroster to function. |
