Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The driver and passenger side windows fog up and ice over while driving in freezing temperatures. typically the front windshield also fogs over on the corners forming an oval that is fog free. turning the vent system to full defrost does very little to remove the fog and frost. i have had to purchase fans to assist in keeping my windows clear. this condition prevents me from being able to use my side mirrors as well as seeing if there is on comming traffic when attempting to turn, typically i have to open the window or even the door if the frost is so bad that the window will not roll down (such as when driving for a couple of hour.). i have taken the vehicle to the dealer to look at and they had no solution, they even contaced the manufacturer who basically said that's "normal". i have seen at least two other dodge ram van's that have had the same problem.*ak
