1 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2001

During the winter I turned on my heating unit and it would not blow unless it was on high. I would have to constantly turn my heat off and on because it would be too hot then too cold. I noticed on real cold days the heating system would malfunction on milder days the heating system would work correctly. My window would get off tract and I would have to constantly set the window in place while I raise the window. Took the car to the dealer and they could not find anything wrong with it.

2 Windshield problem

Failure Date: 07/10/1998

When driving at night there is a reflection on the windshield, causing poor visibility, making it very difficult to drive at night. Dealer determined the problem due to the plastic covering on the windshield which has dust underneath. Dealer has yet to replace any parts. Please provide any further details.
