THE ISSUE I AM HAVING IS NOT A ONE TIME PROBLEM BUT SEEMS TO BE ONGOING IN THE WINTER MONTHS. WHEN IT GETS COLD OUTSIDE, THE WINDOWS OF MY CAR, INCLUDING FRONT AND BACK WINDSHIELDS, FOG AND ICE UP SIGNIFICANTLY. I HAVE THE DEFROSTER GOING AT FULL BLAST ON HIGHEST HEAT, BUT I STILL HAVE THIS ISSUE. THE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS IS THAT I CANNOT SEE OUT OF MY WINDOWS WHEN I NEED TO CHANGE LANES OR LOOK FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MAKING A RIGHT/LEFT TURN. I NEED TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS TO ENSURE THAT TRAFFIC IS CLEAR. I WASN'T SURE IF THIS IS THE TYPE OF COMPLAINT THAT SHOULD BE SUBMITTED BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS BETTER TO SUBMIT, THAN NOT. THANK YOU. *TR

THE HVAC (AIR CONDITIONING / HEATING SYSTEM / DEFROSTER) STARTED SMELLING BAD WITH A TOXIC MILDEW ODOR THE VERY FIRST DAY WITH A BRAND NEW AUTOMOBILE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DENIED ANYTHING WAS WRONG. HOWEVER, THEY PUT A CITRUS SMELLING CHEMICAL INTO THE VENTS THAT ONLY PARTIALLY MASKED IT. IT SMELLS BAD AFTER RUNNING THE AIR CONDITIONING FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND TURNING IT OFF, LEAVING THE FAN RUNNING FOR A FEW MINUTES, WHILE DRIVING. THEN, IT DISAPPEARS AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR OR CYCLE THE AIR CONDITIONING. AGAIN, THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES ON IT. IT STARTED OCCURRING WITH 100 MILES ON IT. I RENTED ANOTHER (DIFFERENT BRAND) CAR FOR A WEEK WITH NO PROBLEMS. *JB
