Consumer Description
A PLASTIC PIECE IN THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM BROKE. WHEN THIS OCCURRED CONSUMER COULD NOT CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE COMING THROUGH THE AIR VENT, PRIMARILY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS, RESULTING IN POOR VISIBILITY. IN ADDITION, THE FAN MOTOR FAILED TO FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE WINDOWS FOGGED UP IMMEDIATELY. MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, AND RE DESIGNED THE SYSTEM, BUT THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART WILL BE VERY COSTLY. A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM WAS ISSUED. *AK
