Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Water Spots All Over The Windshield

I was washing my Elantra earlier and I noticed water spots all over the windshield when I was done cleaning it! Side, and rear windows too. What can I do to get rid of them? I tried 50/50 water and vinegar, and a lot came off but I still have quite a bit.

Toyota - Prius :: Water Spots On Windshield

How does one get rid of water spots on the windshield? They were created after going to a car wash. I've tried alcohol, viniger, windex etc - no luck - spots still there.

Toyota - Matrix :: 2010 - Spots On Windshield When Fogged Or Misted?

It's hot and humid here in Illinois. Yesterday my wife was driving early in the morning with the AC on, and the windshield was fogging up on the outside. A pattern of spots showed up, and they persist after the wipers pass over the glass. They don't show up when the glass is dry, but on washing with windex they show up as the surface approaches dry.

Are these waterspots? Are they something else, like wax or oil? This is a 2010 matrix which we bought used about a month ago, so I don't know its car-washing-history, but it resided in Florida as a rental, I believe.

Or is there something else possible? Can the glass have gotten "de-laminated" enough to have some internal fogging?

Prius (Gen 2) :: No Air From Windshield Vents?

So today the temperature dropped to around 25 degrees, and as such on my drive home the windows started fogging up. I decided to turn on the air and set it to windshield, after about 20 minutes the windshield is still not defogging, and I can only see a small spherical portion of the bottom part of the window as clear, while almost 80% of the window is still fogged up. I stopped at a red light and put my hand near where the air should be coming from and nothing is coming out. I noticed that no matter what option I select, no air is coming out of the windshield vents. I was able to get under the drivers side and take note of the motor, I had my sister move around from feet, to bi-level, to windshield, and in all cases I can see things moving, however no air is still moving from the vents near the windshield.

Camry :: 2003 Rough Running / Flat Spots / Lack Of Power

I have a 2003 MCV36R Camry SPortivo, Australian spec. Have owned it for 12 months. Have had power issues.

Replaced:

plugs
fuel filter
O2 sensors (engine)
MAF sensor
Throttle Position Sensor

Have checker EGR valve - all looks good
Have coded OBD II, no codes coming up

Current issues are:

Flat spots from 1000rpm to approx 3000 rpm (esp on gear change from 1st to second)
Once flat spot stop, it powers up enough to throw you back in your seat.
Also, rough running when sitting on constant speed, esp bad between 65-85 Km/h.

Have recently done a 800km trip. half way through, isolated the EGR valve. Running probs have improved greatly, but still lacks power.

Prius (2004-09) :: No Air Coming From Windshield Vents / Won't Defog

Today I have noticed that my windscreen won't defogged. Normally it will just takes 30-40 seconds for it to clear. It seems the air that blow to the windshield has blocked or it won't channelled the air to the windshield vents. I tried to feel the air at the windshield vents, but couldn't feel anything. The air seems to comes from the front and the legs only no matter what button/switched pressed. I think the air conditioning amplifier may be faulty. I am thinking of replace it. I have searched the internet, but so far I cannot see any tutorial how to replace it.

Accord :: Windshield And Side Window Defroster Vents Have Not Been Working

My windshield and side window defroster vents have not been working but every other air feature on the air system works fine. When I switch to the defroster, air just continues to come out of the front vents and not out of the defroster vent located on the top of the dash. I plan on going to dealership to have it checked out. I have looked through my hayne's book with no luck. One of my buddies said it could be a relay or something but I have not been able to find a relay specific to the defroster. Just wanted to get this sorted out because it takes longer than usual to defog/defrost my windows now without this feature working correctly.

I have a 2003 Honda Accord EX V-6 Coupe with dual climate control.

Ford Excursion :: A/C Automatically Switches To Windshield Defrost Vents

I have a 2002 Ex with the 7.3. Every time I put it into 4x4, the A/C automatically switches to the windshield defrost vents. After a couple minutes it switches back the the A/C vents. I'm assuming that isn't normal.

Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: Windshield Defrost And Floor Vents Won't Work

No matter what I do with the settings for my heater in my lariat air only blows out of the dash vents. Defrost and floor vents don't work it still blows hot air out of the dash vents. I'm not sure what the deal is maybe the vacuum system? I did a search and all I could find was people having trouble with air ONLY blowing out of the defroster and my case is just the opposite.

Camry :: Hot Air Comes Out Of Vents Only When Driving

2007 Camry I4. It's cold up here in Toronto the past few weeks and I noticed a problem with my ventilation/heater. When i'm driving hot air comes out of my vents, but once I'm stopped at a traffic light the air will come out as cold until I start driving again.

I already replaced my water pump earlier this year, and most of the postings show that this may be a faulty water pump causing the issue. Just before going back to my mechanic, was wondering if there could be something else wonky.

Not sure if this is related, but when I start my car, I can hurt some liquid sound by the left foot wall side, and sometimes when I'm accelerating I too would hear some liquid flowing sound.

Camry 2012 :: Outer Air Vents On The Dash Are Always Open

I bought my 2012 Camry in December and have noticed that the outer air vents on the dash (the big ones beside the doors) are always blowing air regardless of the setting of the system. If I have the air set to blow from the floor or defrost the air blows from where it is supposed to but also blows from these 2 dash vents, the center vents on the dash close like they should when not selected. I'm not talking about a little bit of air that may be getting around the system, it is a full flow of air. It's like these two vents are always open with no way to close them. I have had it in for service and had them check this and they told me that it is the way the system is designed. I find it hard to believe that Toyota would design it this way. Is this normal for all 2012 Camry's?

Camry :: Smoke Coming From Front Vents After A Bit Of Driving With A/C On

[07 Camry XLE V6] A while back my wife mentioned that smoke was coming from the front vents after a bit of driving with the A/C on. This does not happen regularly and the Freon levels do not change. The other day, I witnessed this myself. There was no sweet freon odor - it didn't have an odor much at all. Then after about five minutes, it just went away. If freon was leaking out, my A/C today would not be working, but as far as I can tell, everything still seems to work. I know this car has a design flaw that allows a bit of standing water to remain, but if a drain was clogged, wouldn't the smoke remain consistent or my floor would start to fill with water? {This happened on my buddies Buick}

To answer some basic questions:

1. No it was not smokey or rainy outside
2. Nobody in my family smokes
3. ~85-degrees outside, AC set to 74, not full cold when this happened.
4. We were in the car for only a few minutes after leaving the mall (which is approx 30 miles from my house) On the way there, 5 miles of max A/C to cool the car; no smoke.
5. A/C appears back to normal for now, so I'm doubting a drain clogged.

Camry :: Heater Not Working Properly - No Air Seems To Be Coming In Any Of Vents

I have a 2007 Camry SE-V6 and recently noticed my heater is not working properly. The fan dial works fine and I can adjust the speed of the fan no problem. When I adjust from the defroster, to the feet, to the face etc.. I don't hear that noise I usually hear of the system opening or closing the appropriate vents in behind the dash - all I hear is the fan blower going - as though it's just blowing on my windshield but no air seems to be coming in any of the vents (ie. if I put the dial to the face and the fan speed on high, no air comes out the vents).

If I adjust the temperature, I can feel heat is there vs. cold but since no air is blowing out (all I hear is the blower fan going), I don't get any heat in the cabin. Is this a fuse problem or something more serious? I have about 70,000km so I'm out warranty of course....

Camry :: 07 - Heater Blowing Hot Air On Driver Side Vents Only

Last night driving I noticed that the passenger side vents are not blowing hot air when the heat is on, but I noticed the driver side vents were blowing very hot air. Does this mean I could have a bad heater core, or a clogged heater core?
