Defogger Problems of Ford Expedition

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Expedition. The contact stated when the vehicle was parked in cold weather; ice would form inside each window. While driving at speeds of 30 mph and engaging the defroster, only the front windshield would defrost but not the passenger windows in the vehicle. She then engaged the interior heat to ninety degrees in an attempt to defrost the passenger windows but to no avail. The contact was unable to open the windows because they were frozen shut and in order to determine when to change lanes, the contact would have to open the drivers door while in transit. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 7,000 and the current mileage was 38,000.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while driving in cold weather all six of the passenger windows would not defog unless the heat was turned all the way up and the air vents were directed towards the windows. The contact also stated that the windows would freeze shut and she was unable to open them. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed there might be an air leak. The driver's side mirror was replaced yet the failure persisted when driving in cold weather. The vehicle was taken back to the authorized dealer four times, but there had been no resolution. The failure mileage was 4,000 and the current mileage was 38,000.

Mechanic said Ford changed design because of faulting placement of the vent. Ford said they would have replaced if mileage was under 50k and I was the original owner.

The heating and air conditioning unit has been blowing white flakes into the face of the driver and other passengers in the vehicle. Several times I have had to quickly get off the highway, to clear my eyes of the flakes. Several time coming close to running into on coming traffic. Ford rep states this is a common problem, keep bringing it in. I have been back to service about once a week for this. Previous service advisor stated,put your windows down and dont use the a/c system. I found on the web a TSB on this problem. There must be others with this problem in 97-02 f-150/expeditions. Ford has already replaced my system once to no avail. Help. Dt.
