Consumer Description

THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR ARM IS A COMMON FAILURE ON THESE CARS. DUE TO THEIR POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP, THEY ARE ALMOST GUARANTEED TO FAIL EVENTUALLY. HAVING NO HEAT IN THE WINTER CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. NOT BEING ABLE TO DEFROST WINDOWS IS THE MOST OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE ON A NATIONAL RECALL. DT
