THE SIDE WINDOWS, FRONT AND REAR, FOG/FROST OVER WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. RUNNING THE DEFROSTER ON HIGH HEAT AT FULL FAN RESULTS IN A SMALL PEEP HOLE TO SEE THE SIDE MIRRORS. THE REST OF THE WINDOWS REMAIN COVERED AND YOU CAN'T SEE OUT. A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN LIVING IN MICHIGAN IN THE WINTER. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW OR A PROBLEM THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED. *TR
WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE FOR NO REASON. VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING AND WAS PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 DAYS. *TR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS GO OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN RIGHT, SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN LEFT, SOMETIMES JUST WHEN I"M GOING STRAIGHT. THEY GO OFF MOSTLY ONCE, SOMETIMES 2 TO 4 TIMES. IT HAPPENS MORE IN WARMER WEATHER. IN WINTER THEY GO OF RANDOMLY EVERY 20 TO 400 MILES. NOW THAT ITS WARM THEY GO OFF RANDOMLY EVERY 1 TO 10 MILES (EVEN MULTIPLE TIMES). BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND I'M BRINGING IT BACK FOR A THIRD TIME. *TR
