Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING HOME ON A NIGHT WITH FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET, I PUT ON THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS WARM AT THE TIME THAT I SWITCHED IT ON. WITHIN SECONDS THE WINDSHIELD ICED UP AND ALL THE OTHER WINDOWS STEAMED UP. I HAD ZERO VISIBILITY. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND SCRAPED ICE OFF THE WINDSHIELD AND WIPED THE SIDE WINDOWS SO I COULD SEE. I PROCEEDED TO DIRVE AND AGAIN WITHIN SECONDS IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I COULD SEE WHAT LOOKED LIKE SMOKE OR A MIST COMING FROM THE DEFROST VENTS. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ALL THE WAY HOME WITH ME CONTINUALLY PULLING OFF THE ROAD TO CLEAR THE WINDOWS. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR THREE YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM . I ALSO HAVE NEVER DRIVEN IT DURING AN ICE STORM. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND NERVE WRACKING EXPERIENCE AND AM HOPING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE HECK CAUSED THIS. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS A 1998 626 AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER ON THE SAME NIGHT.
