I have a heat flow problem. The drivers side defrosters, and vents all blow cold

What is your question?

The dealer tells me this in normal and when I bring in for service they told me they replaced a valve. It is tough to get the windshield to defrost on drivers side. I don't think this is normal. Can anyone give me any suggestions?

The heater valve is was more likely what was changed. My thought is if the coolant system full. The dealer should know how to insure it is full, myself have had to remove the upper hose and manually fill the system. The car is full of sensors for every mode of the operating system. I would take it back and tell them it didn't work and give them a chance to make it good (at a discounted price, get an estimate before re-fix), if they won't find someone else that will. They need to guarantee their work as well.

The car is under warranty until 11/15/14 and the said they fixed it the first time.

If they can't fix it, is there another dealer close enough to you. You might have to call the factory rep to get it resolved, this weather is not the time for guessing.
