Description of the problem | All interior windows fogged up making it impossible to see outside vehicle. I was driving the vehicle early morning, mid to low 60 degree temps, i put heat on low fan speed and mid temp, instrument panel started to fog up and windshield started to fog up, i switched heater to defog and in a few seconds all windows fogged up. It was dark and i was in a roundabout with traffic ahead of me and behind me. I opened all windows and put defog to full speed and after about a minute was the windshield defogged. Internet search showed possible clogged heater/ac blower box, which was reported to be a service issue and not covered by warranty. I was about to park the vehicle and was very concerned about my safety and my family being in the vehicle. Something needs to be done to address this issue that will lead to vehicle collision with injury and. Or fatalities. |
