“Air conditioning vent always switches to the defroster and back to the AC vent. While driving in the snow and ice the heater was on, the defroster vent automatically switches to the vent on the floor and the AC vent causing the windshield to ice up causing no visibility through the window. Did run off the road. It's been doing this ever since that day. Nothing has been done because of the expense that the garage attendant said. Have dealt with this for along time. Truck is in very good condition. Sharp!! …”
