Description of the problem | Twice in snowing condition , the windshield iced at the bottom and did not clear even though the defroster had been on. We were not able to complete our journey. Even though we stopped every ten minutes or less to scrape the windshield clear. I've had many cars in many conditions and never saw this lack of visibility. It took 4 hours on route 270 from fredrick to go 20 miles out and return. Very scary. |
