| Description of the problem | I have a digital dual climate zone in my vehicle. Recently the heat started to work only on one side (drivers) and not the passengers. After researching the issue, it looks like there is systemic problem with the mechanical recirculation and ventilation doors for the heating/cooling system as i found many complaints online with many who have had the same issue. In addition, i called a dealership with the problem codes that i got from running a diagnostic test via the heating/cooling control panel and the dealership also told me this is a very common issue and that it would cost a minimum of $800 to fix. The price to repair was consistent with what others were saying during my research. This is a safety issue as if i have not heat i can not defrost my windows in the winter. |
