Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN 30 DEGREE WEATHER, STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING VERY BAD COMING FROM HVAC SYSTEM AND WINDOWS BECAME VERY FOGGY. I HAD TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN WITH THE DEFROST ON IN ORDER TO SEE. VISION WAS STILL IMPAIRED. AFTER LETTING IT SIT, A FILM APPEARED ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS HARD TO REMOVE. FURTHER IMPAIRING VISION. PRIOR TO THIS, HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED WORKING SO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WOULD NOT DEFROST QUICKLY. CURRENTLY HAVE IT IN THE SHOP. THEY ARE GUESSING IT'S THE HEATER CORE, A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. ESTIMATED COST STARTING AT $900.
