I am having major heating issues that the heater core will not warm the car and the metal tubing began to leak at the t that is on the fire wall of the vehicle.
The vehicle's heat/air conditioner and defogger was controlled by one unit. The unit failed and was replaced 5 times. When the unit failed, the consumer was unable to clear the windows. This reduced driver's visibility.
