| Windshield problems | |
| Wiper problems | |
| Defogger Heater problems |
There is a serious blind spot when looking to the left out the windshield. The piece that connects the front windshield and drivers side window is much too wide for proper visibility. Also noticed poor visibility when driving at night with oncoming headlights.
Smoke started coming out of the vents & steering column. Took it to the dealer & they said it was spilled anti freeze from when they changed the oil. Car was ok for a little while. Now it's smoking again the front defroster doesn't work the fog lights are gone & recently my highlights went too. I took it to the shop they shown me the burnt wires in steeling column & said the heating coil is damaged making the smell & fogs the window from the fumes. Next to go will be the turning signals & wipers if not fixed.
Upon warming the car before driving to work windows steamed up badly I thought it was because of cold temp outside. This happened throughout the winter. Always having a sweet taste in my mouth took the car back to the dealer where I bought it there said the heater core was leaking would have to replace it. I called the local parts store and got a price on it 60. 00 dollars I thought this price was ok . The parts house said good luck I asked why he was smiling when he said that . He said that was an 800. 00 dollar job by the dealer. He was so right!! the sob who designed that should been made to change it in every car that the core wet bad in I have owned 96 1500 97 1500 99 1500 and now 2003 every one heater core leaks . Went on line to see how many people had this problem hundreds. People are breathing antifreeze vapor. Help!!!!.
