Defrost doesn’t work due to no heat on passenger side. Heater core replaced and has to be flushed out every year. Research on the internet says this is a common issue but no recall.
Visibility obstruction: the heater has slowly been losing heat and is only blowing cold air. Visibility is severely obstructed due to the defrost system not working properly. The defrost system is blowing cold air not clearing the windshield and seriously obstructing visibility.
We have ownrd this vehicle for 11 months and have been driving with the back seats down because the rear visibility is so restrictrd by the rear seat head reasts. We first noticed problems with the blind spots to the right and left front roughly at 45 degrees not where you usually have oncoming traffic,in a mall it can be a real problem. We feel this problem shoulb be brought to the attention of the general public. We do not plan on keeping it much longer. Thank you.
