Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The blend door lever is a common safety complaint with these cars. it is made of cheap plastic and many owners have replaced this part at considerable cost. my experience with this problem occurs on cold days with high humidity. the windows fog and when you turn on the defroster, cold air comes out and the fog remains or gets worse. this is a safety issue as how am i to see where i am driving with windows that are foggy? since this occurs while driving down the interstate am i to constantly clean the windows while driving. thereby creating another safety issue? please look into this problem. it is a safety issue and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. dt
