| Component | VISIBILITY |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Normal operation of heating/cooling system. Now, after 28,000 miles, temperature will suddenly change in the cabin of the vehicle. The heat will suddenly cease and the visibility will be lost out the windshield. I believe it may have something to do with "blend door". When the windshield frosts up, we have to pull over and turn car off and wait for system to reset. Very dangerous, not safe, dealership estimates $1,500 to $2,000 to repair. |
