Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS. EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE, WE KEEP REGULAR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND THE HEAT STOPS WORKING THE IN THE CAR ENTIRELY. THE VENTS BLOW COOL AIR NO MATTER THE SETTING WHICH MEANS THE WIDOWS DO NOT DEFROST AT ALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN THE WINTER TIME CONSIDERING I CANNOT SEE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.
