| Description of the problem | Defrosters do not work due to heating system clogged with sand from the engine die casting. During time of manufacturing, jeep did not clean out the sand from molding the engine which is now plugging the heater core. While driving down the highway, the windshield frosts over due to no heat. I have attached a class action lawsuit that demonstrates how wide spread this problem is. |
