Anyone have this prob? When I put the vent control on defrost, air still comes out of all the vents, even when on cabin air. Anyone else have this or know about a fix?

 

that doesnt happen to me....
sorry

 

no i do n't have that specific problem, but now for some reasons when the a/c or any air is on, the flow is way less less powerful on the driver side. the passenger side flows great. I mean it comes out the drivers side but about half as less as the passenger side.

 

I do get some air flow out of the dash vents when on defrost, mostly from the vents nearest the side windows, I assume to help keep them clear. I don't view it as a problem...

 

me to i get some of that! i just ignore it and point the vents upward!

 

I point them upward too...just curious as I have never had this problem on other newer cars. Also, Air continually comes out of the dash no matter where the control is pointed...

 

that doesnt happen to me.... you may wanna go to your dealership and tell them that!

 

I was going to head thwere for my foglights, so I will ask them to look at that as well.

 

I switched from Ford to the Scion and noticed this... Ford defrost controls were all the way left but the Scion is all the way right. I first thought I had this problem till I noticed that the direction **** works backwards from all Fords. Check it and see if you made the same mistake.

 

Other cars have dedicated defroster vents for the side windows - holes in the sides of the dash. The xB doesn't. It's been my assumption that the xB designers chose this as a cuttable corner.

Is this the same in other Echo-based cars? Other competing small cars?
