Hi, I bought my 2014 last February and cabin heating worked just fine. Did not use heat until last week and noticed cold air coming out? Both knobs are set to high. I went to dealer last May and they disabled the block heater ( recall). So far no fix!:( Any clues of what the problem could be before I go to dealer?

Thanks

No idea, but I'll guess that they will take real good care of you. Heat in your neighborhood is probably pretty important this time of year.

I think so. I did an oil change myself with proper oil (don't trust quick oil changers).

We went in becuase the visor kept falling down, they replaced it and had NO AC or Heat,

turns out the visor garage door opener thingy is wired into part of the AC/Heating system so if it breaks, or lights go out you loose your heat and AC. they replaced it again with a good one and all was well.

Stupid design if you ask me. But might be worth looking into

Uhhh...gee...if they said so.
Sounds a little (no, a LOT!) like BS...

Clarification, please, from anyone?

There have been some issues with the manual climate control heads failing. You might want to visit your dealer and have it looked at. Hopefully you're still under warranty.

The garage door opener is powered from Fuse 4 in the dash fuse panel
the climatronic HVAC module is fed from Fuse 25, 40
The only common point I see in the schematics is the Battery +
but I like tdiatlast's reply better.

Today morning low coolant light started flashing?! Opened the hood, checked and indeed, very low.! Checked manual and it looks I need G13 coolant. Canadian Tire don't have it. Maybe that is the cause of heating not working. No coolant in heater core. Anybody know where I can buy some G13 coolant around GTA?
Thanks

I'd be heading to the dealer and get them to sort it out.

Yours
