Consumer Description

WITH FROST ON THE WINDSHIELD, ENGAGING THE DEFROSTER WILL MELT THE FROST ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE WINDOW, BUT IT ALSO WETS THE INSIDE OF THE CAB, CAUSING ALL OF THE WINDOWS TO HAVE FOG WHICH WILL NOT LET YOU SEE. THIS ALSO OCCURRED IN DECEMBER WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WAXAHACHIE, SNOW WAS FALLING AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS AT 35 DEGREES AND FALLING WITH ICE STARTING TO ACCUMULATE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I ENGAGED THE DEFROSTER TO CLEAR THE ICE, BUT ALL OF THE WINDOWS FOGGED UP SO FAST THAT I BARELY GOT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE I COULDN'T SEE AT ALL. IT TOOK THE TRUCK AN ADDITIONAL 15 MINUTES OF RUNNING TO CLEAR ENOUGH OF THE FOG OF THE WINDOW FOR A PORTAL TO SEE THRU TO DRIVE AT ALL.
