Consumer Description

THE DEFROSTER ONLY BLOWS COLD AIR. NO MATTER WHAT THE TEMPERATURE OR FAN ARE SET AT. THUS MAKING VISIBILITY WHEN THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP VERY POOR.

THIS WAS AN IMPROPER PRODUCT AND CAUSED A SLUDGE BUILD UP WHICH IRREPARABLY DESTROYED THE HEATER CORE. IN ADDITION TO THE DEFROSTER PROBLEM HOT AIR ONLY COMES OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE VENTS WHILE COLS AIR COMES OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE VENTS,
