| Component | VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While driving with defrosters on, the heat suddenly turns to cold and does not defrost the windshield. Was told by dealer that blend doors were defective and the dashboard had to be removed. This started happening about 6 months after i bought the car. This is a definite safety hazard since you can't de-ice the windshield while driving. I feel the manufacturer should make the needed repairs at no cost to the customer since this is very hazardous. |
