Upon driving in humid conditions climate control becomes inop. Evaporator ices over and fan makes loud noise but no air comes out of vents. This creates a dangerous situation as defrost/fog setting is inop and you can't clear the windshield or see to drive.

Within the first month of purchasing this vehicle I started to experience problems rolling up and down the rear passenger window. It wasn't too long, then front window malfunctioned.
