| Description of the problem | The driver's side air vent blows cold air out of the vents and towards the windshield. Thus, i am unable to properly defrost my front windshield on my 2014 honda crv, causing a possible safety hazard. Honda knows about this problem and has issued tsb #14-063 to fix this problem, but yet refuses to do any sort of recall. The tsb calls for a flush of the heater core with clr and then that should fix the problem until the heater core gets plugged again. To me this is a design/safety problem that needs to be addressed asap. This happens whenever the heat is on and the car is at operating temperatures. |
