What Owners Say

Heater system

"The front dual Zone a/c and heating system has a design flaw. The plastic air diverter gets stuck and it has always been on the passenger side thank goodness. When stuck it means that only cold or hot air will come out. My mechanic has to get under the dash to unstick it and he says to fix it would mean taking the entire dash out and am guessing install an after market part that would not stick. I use duct tape (black)over the upper passenger vents to make the situation somewhat better."
