THE FACTORY EQUIPPED HEATING AND DEFROSTING SYSTEM FAILS TO REGULATE FROM DASH BOARD HEAT TO THE DEFROSTERS THAT DIRECTS THE HEAT TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, THUS CAUSING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP AND IN MOST CASES OF THE WINTER MONTHS BUILD UP WITH ICE TO CAUSE UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. IN NOT WINTER MONTHS WHERE THE WEATHER IS COOL OR RAINY FOG FORMS ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING VISIBILITY. WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN OR UP THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE ACCIDENTS WERE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD BEING FROZEN AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEEN THROUGH. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HEADED INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC.
