| Description of the problem | In addition to a strong, noxious, moldy odor, vehicle's front windshield fogs over so totally that it becomes dangerous in highway driving. The hvac/climate-control system's defroster is unable to clear more than the bottom few inches of the windshield: the only way i can see through it is to wipe away the fog with my hand. This happens when the vehicle is in motion but persists when it is stationary. This happens in almost any weather, but especially if there is moisture in the air(fog, rain). |
