Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | When the vehicle was started, the hvac fan control was not functional. The power indicator light was not illuminated and there was no blowing regardless of where the knob was positioned. This prevented the defrost function to engage, and as a result there was poor visibility through the windshield. I turned off the vehicle and restarted it, and the hvac fan would still not function. I checked the fuse box, and the fuse was not blown. Later in the day, i started the car the next day and the fan was working properly. This issue has occurred multiple times over the past few weeks. I took my vehicle to a dealership and they were unable to determine the cause of the problem. This malibu does fall into the production dates of the nov 2013 visibility recall. |
