Description of the problem | I have twice in the last year brought my 2015 toyota tacoma to the dealership in stuart florida to address a safety related issue where i reported that every morning on my way to work condensation accumulates on the outside of the windshield restricting vision. The windshield defrost vent directs air-conditioned cold air, even when the defrost feature is not selected, creating a potentially serious vision impairment safety hazard. The only way to remove the condensation is to engage the windshield wiper every couple of minutes when condensation becomes too dense. Last week the dealer witnessed the issue and could actually feel the cold air being emitted and then consulted with a corporate technical assistant who advised via technical case #152830046 |
