Description of the problem | The windshield defrost does not work like it is supposed too. When i put it on defrost and the heat on full blast, it will only heat the passengers side of the vehicle and not the drivers side of the vehicle which is a huge safety concern. On the driver's side there is cold air coming out of the vents which prevents the drivers side of the windshield to not defrost. When i drive, it only seems to get worst so i pull over and try to scrape the ice off as best as i can so i can properly see. This is a huge concern when it comes to upstate new york winters, especially when we have ice storms which is when i first encountered the issue. It fails to defrost the inside and outside of the windshield on the driver's side. This is a huge safety concern as it impairs visibility. |
