Consumer Description

CAR HAS UNEXPECTEDLY TURNED TEMPERATURE IN CAR FROM NORMAL TO EXTREMELY HOT. HAS CAUSED WINDSHIELD TO IMMEDIATELY FOG AND UNABLE TO SEE, INCLUDING ON HIGHWAY AT FASTER SPEEDS. APPEARS TO BE ISSUE AFFECTING MANY OTHERS WITH SIMILAR YEARS OF FORD FUSION MODELS, WITH NO IMMEDIATE FIX. I MYSELF WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR ON HIGHWAY WHEN ONE OF THE FIRST INCIDENTS OCCURRED. I HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT WHERE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR COMING OUT OF MY VENTS WENT FROM AIR CONDITIONED COOL AIR TO EXTREMELY HOT. WOULDN'T THIS POTENTIALLY CAUSE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS?
