During and after a rain, the a/c and defroster does not work. Dealers have said that the belt must have gotten wet by water splashing up from the street. Once I only pulled out of the driveway and could not see where I was going due to the fogging up of the windshield caused by the air blowing hot. While driving at the start of the rain, turning on the defroster instantly fogs up the interior and you can not see out. I real life or death problem. There have been several times the car was returned to the dealer, only to have them tell me that nothing is wrong.

Rear window defroster detached in September of 2000. At this time defroster has detached again.
I have experienced nothing but problems with the body shop personnel at little rock Dodge, and the service department at little rock Mitsubishi in handling this matter. It has been a month, and I still haven't been able to get any answers, unless , I count the lies that I've been told by your so called trained professionals. I would appreciate it very much if someone would be honest and not prejudice , and help me out. If I honestly thought that this matter was not a safety issue, I would not be going through all of this; and I definitely wouldn't be without transportation for a month. I am not trying to cause any problems. All I want is for the dealer to fix my car. I feel as though I shouldn't have to pay for something that is defective. No safety defect(s) mentioned within summary.
