Consumer Description

I live in the Northern Latitudes in Washington state, on my drive this morning with temps in the low 40's and high humidity the heating/ventilation system just stopped working. My windshield immediately fogged up completely and I had near zero visibility. I slowed down and thankfully had a cloth nearby and used that to wipe the windshield clear while looking for a place to pull over. After changing every conceivable setting to no avail I limped home with my cloth at hand. This is a serious safety problem that could easily lead to a serious accident. I've contacted the Kia dealer for assistance and they insist there are no known issues or bulletins on this problem. I checked various user forums for the vehicle and it appears others are having similar if not identical issues.
