In motion. Highway and street. The defrost system stopped blowing to clear the windshield area. It would blow into passenger area either cold or so hot you could hardly hold your hand in front of the vent. When you shut the vehicle off you can readily hear a knocking sound from the dash for several minutes. The radio also shut off along with all the radio illumination initial problem date: dec 27, 2015. The inability to defrost is a continuing problem to present time.
