Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The entire automatic climate control system (heating & ac) cuts out arbitrarily. it restarts after the car has been sitting idle for some time. this has caused several problems as the front windshield will not defog and vision through the windshield is impaired. this compromises my vision and has put me in danger several times. when contacted dealer, they mentioned that there is no recall on this dangerous problem and that the repair will cost ~$1,000. this is a serious hazard.*ak
