Consumer Description
I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 10 MONTHS AND WENT TO START IT ON 5/31/18 AND THERE WAS NO HVAC AT ALL. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT BUT TO NO AVAIL. EVENTUALLY IT DID COME BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER BUT IT IS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY. LIVING IN S. FLORIDA IT GETS VERY HUMID AND WHEN IT RAINS THE WINDSHIELD STEAMS UP SO YOU HAVE TO RUN THE AC. AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO PULL OVER OR OPEN ALL THE WINDOWS WHICH SOAKS MY INTERIOR. MY HUSBAND HAS A HEART CONDITION AND I AM VERY AFRAID TAKING HIM TO HIS APPOINTMENTS. I WENT ONLINE AND RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2013 BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE. IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED BY SOME THAT IT IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM THAT CAN BE DONE BY THE DEALER BUT NO DEALER WILL TAKE CARE OF IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME. I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE ELSE FOR FEAR OF SOMEONE MISSING UP THE COMPUTER ALL TOGETHER. PLEASE HELP! THIS IS AS BAD AS DRIVING WITH NO WIPERS. THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE ALONE.
