Description of the problem | Local laws prohibit leaving a vehicle running while not attended. The low for that night was about -23f. It is not possible to drive the vehicle safely until the windshield is defrosted, so i had to sit in the vehicle for quite some time until the windshield defrosted. While waiting, i got frost bite on the ends of three toes on my left foot. The heater is inadequate to heat the vehicle in the winter. The defroster is inadequate to defrost the windshield in subzero weather. The only heat to the driver's side floor is by the right foot only. |
