Consumer Description

FRONT WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER DESIGN IS [XXX]. IT ONLY BLOWS AIR STRAIGHT UP THE CENTER. SO, WHERE THE DRIVER LOOKS, WHERE THE PASSENGER LOOKS, AND THE WIPERS THEMSELVES, DOES NOT GET DEFROSTED. ALWAYS COVERED IN ICE. I NEED TO STOP AND SCRAPE THE WINDSHIELD EVERY 10-15 MINUTES, EVEN WITH THE DEFROSTERS ON HIGH. HORRIBLE, AND VERY UNSAFE DESIGN, BY JEEP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
