Problem #1 high ambient air temperature (80+) and medium to high humidity (50%+), when air conditioner is in manual mode, vent flow is set to front forward only or front forward plus bottom and temperature is set between 70-73 with a fan speed set between any of 1, 2, or 3 bars a 1-3 inch band of fogging occurs on the exterior of the windshield along the bottom across most of the windshield. this creats a visibility problem in that the vision of the windshield is reduced since this is almost in the direct line of vision when you are in the drivers seat and driving. this has been reported by many owners of this vichicle onto the internet and from many different areas of the country. after repeated trips to the dealer this problem is still occuring and there does not appear to be a fix. the dealer tried to say it was because i live in texas this occurs but i have lived in texas almost 15 years and never had any other car that does this ever!*jb | |||
