What owners wrote
Was driving on city street with fairly high traffic. Very heavy rain and humidity. I turned on defogger and the windshield got increasingly more fogged up. The defogger did not clear the windshield. I had to drive at 20 mpg to avoid a collision. I brought the car to the dealership and was told nothing was wrong with the defogger. The car is two weeks old.
Windshield was cracked. Started out along bottom on driver's side and expanded up and across driver's side. From what I could tell, nothing hit the windshield to initiate the crack. Had to get replaced.
