| I have a 2003 mitsubishi lancer evolution. the temperature knob broke off while adjusting from cold to warm. my car is now stuck with the ac on cold, this isn't so much of a problem in the summer but it is getting rather cold now and i would really like some heat. i have also noticed that the defrost is now useless unless it needs to be on cold which is pretty ineffective in the winter time. this problem started happening in 2009 where it was very difficult to turn and finally in june of this year it completely broke. | |||
