DT: THE DEFROSTER IN THE CAR IS MAKING THE WINDSHIELD INVISIBLE. THE CAR WINDOWS ARE FOGGING UP ALL THE WAY AROUND. CONSUMER IS HAVING TO SIT AN WAIT ON THE WINDOWS TO CLEAR BEFORE SHE CAN DRIVE. ALSO, SHE IS HAVING TO WIPE THE WINDOWS DOWN WITH PAPER TOWELS BEFORE SHE CAN DRIVE. DEALER INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE CAR WAS MADE LIKE THAT, AND THAT WAS THE WAY IT WORKED. CONSUMER WAS WORRIED ABOUT MOISTURE PROBLEMS THAT COULD OCCUR LATER. CONSUMER HAS TO USE THE REAR DEFROSTED IN THE SUMMER TO EVAPORATE SOME OF THE MOISTURE FROM THE WINDOW ,AND IT LEAVES LITTLE THIN LINES ON THE WINDOWS. WHEN IT IS REALLY MOISTURE MORE FOGGY IT GETS. *AK
