Visibility complaints

Visibility & wipers

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

Visibility & wipers

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
