Consumer Description

PASSENGER SIDE HEAT IS INOP RESULTING IN WINDSHIELD FOGGING OVER WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSING AN ISSUE SEEING THE ROAD AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM IS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER CLIMATE CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY WINTER, AND WHENEVER IT RAINS. THIS IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM IN HIGHWAY, AND CITY TRAFFIC RESULTING IN NEAR ACCIDENTS. I'VE HAD THIS CARS SYSTEM FLUSHED AND THAT IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS STATED FROM MECHANICS.
