| Tl*the contact owns a 2010 international lonestar truck. the contact stated that the windshield begins to ice up while driving 55 mph in 20 degree weather and snow. the manufacturer wanted to send him a heated windshield, but the contact does not want to feel like a lab rat for testing new things on the vehicle. he cannot afford to drive 75 miles to the dealer every time the failure occurs. the contact feels this is a safety issue because visibility is poor during inclement weather. the current mileage was 13,000 and failure mileage was 16,000. updated 04/17/09. *lj the drivers dor handle broke and the emissions control system was inoperative and the fuel lines were leaking after they were supposed to been fixed. updated 04/21/09.*b | |||
