Had the same problem at 120000 miles and didn't expect to have the same problem again. I really like the car but if I put another 1200.00 into it that is more then it is worth!!! Will be looking for a Chevy or Dodge now because winter is coming on.

the heater does not blow hot air when turned on. this happened last year and everything checks out on the vehicle that says the heater should work. I think it is a vent flap that is not switching over? Any help would be nice.
