Consumer Description

WHEN I HAVE MY PLOW ON THE TRUCK IT WILL OVER HEAT AND FOG UP ALLTHE WINDOWS. THE WINDOWS FOG UP SO FAST AND SO MUCH THAT IT IS HARD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE YOU CANT SEE. I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT THIS LAST YEAR AND THEY SAID THAT IF THEY DID NOT SEE IT HAPPEN THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. AS SOON AS I PUT MY PLOW ON THIS YEAR IT DID IT AGAIN . NOW THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT . THEY SAID IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH MY TRUCK. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO FIX IT BUT IN THE MEAN TIME I AM DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. DT
