Consumer Description

THE DEFROSTER ONLY SEEMS TO BLOW IN THE MIDDLE CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES ON THE WINDSHIELD IN EXTREME COLD CONDITIONS. IT WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND NOTHING THEY COULD FIX. IT CAUSED THE WIPERS TO ICE UP AND FOG INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT HARD TO SEE.
