Consumer Description

THE HEAT HAS NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY UNLESS YOU ARE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE CAN BE WARMED UP AND HEATING, BUT IF ITS PUT INTO IDLE OR AT A STOP IT BEGINS TO BLOW COOL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS AN AIR POCKET THAT HAS TO BE BLED OUT BECAUSE THERE IS A BAD DESIGN WHERE THE HOSES ARE ABOVE THE BLOCK AND THEY GET CLOGGED UP. I HAVE HAD IT BLED AND IT WORKED BUT NOW HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM COME BACK. *TR
