Consumer Description
THIS PROBLEM IS IN WINTER MOSTLY, AS I WAS DRIVING MY WINDSHIELD BECAME FROSTED, I QUICKLY TURNED ON THE HEAT TO DEFROST IT,BUT MY HEATHER WOULDN'T TURN ON. I PULLED TO THE SIDE TO CHECK WHAT HAPPENED, MY HEATER WOULDN'T TURN ON, IT WAS TURNED ON BUT ONLY COLD AIR WAS COMING OUT OF IT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN, STILL COLD AIR WAS COMING. AFTER TURNING ON AND OFF MY CAR FEW TIMES THE HEAT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD AND CONTINUE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES AFTER THAT TIME, BUT I ALREADY KNEW TO TURN OFF AND ON MY CAR NUMBER OF TIMES WOULD DO THE TRICK, I WASN'T THAT CONCERNED. FROM THAT TIME I REALIZED THAT AS LONG AS IN START MY HEAT TURNS ON AND AS LONG AS IT'S KEPT ON ALL THE TIME, I WOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM, ALSO ONCE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY MY WINDSHIELD BECAME FOGGED, REQUIRED ME TO PULL TO THE SIDE AND I HAD TO GET OUT AND CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD GLASS TO GET RID OF FOG. I WASN'T ABLE TO GET RID OF IT ANY OTHER WAY. I USUALLY DON'T DRIVE MUCH ON HIGHWAY SO I WASN'T CONCERNED. WHEN I HAPPENED TO CHECK RECALLS TO MY CAR JUST RECENTLY I NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR VISIBILITY/DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM FOR SOME MODELS OF 2010 TERRAIN, BUT IT DIDN'T SHOW A RECALL FOR MY CAR AND. GMC SERVICE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR ALL 2010 TERRAINS? *TR
