The defroster/air on my 2001 Ford Taurus lx does not defog my windshield making it hard to see when the windshield gets fogged up.
1. Normal driving , window starting to fog up. Turn on defroster. 2. Instantly total loss of visability because of windshield being covered with heavey fog 3. Nothing done, I thought I must have had something set wrong in the heater/ defroster buttons. I pulled over tried several different settings and window eventually cleared. (this fog was to the degree that I would not have started on my trip until I cleared the windshield if it had been like that when I got into the vehicle) I have nevr been able to determine when this is going to happen or any way to prevent it. It is however very dangerous . Even after the fog has occured, it is difficult to get it to clear quickly. It can happen when the car is cold or very warmed up. I had to put in a speed but this is truly irrelevant.
Heater block incorrectly threaded to engine. . . Now need new engine. . . Have only had car for one month!! accidently reported this complaint yesterday as a 2000 Taurus. . . So you can delete that one!.
