Takata recall. No heat from drivers side HVAC, this causes visibility problems cause poor window defrosting. Wife is disabled with no income can't afford the hundreds of dollars for service or afford a newer vehicle. Never had heat problems in any of my older vehicles like this. Been this way for 4 years now.
