Consumer Description
THE HEAT/DEFROST DOES NOT WORK AND I CAN'T SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IN WINTER. I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER EVERY WINTER AND PAY FOR A NEW HEATER CORE AND FLUSHING, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS MORE FUNDAMENTAL--THE RESIDUAL SAND FROM THE CASTING IS FORMING A "SLUDGE-LIKE" RESIDUE IN THE HEATER CORE AND RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE SAFELY DRIVEN IN WINTER DUE TO VISIBILITY ISSUES CREATED BY THE LACK OF WORKING HEAT/DEFROST DUE TO THIS ISSUE.
