Lexus - Defrosters - Ventilation :: IS250 2007 - Front Windows And Windshield Fogging Up

I just had the 30,000 mile service at a dealership, replaced a leaking water pump, front and rear brakes. The car has just 30k miles on it so it hasn't needed anything major despite being 10 years old. Once I got it back the front windows and windshield are fogging up. It doesn't seem to matter if the car just started or has been going for a while. We have had temperature changes and humidity changes in the weather, neither makes a difference. I have to drive with the windshield defrost on all the time. The dealer said it isn't anything they did, but it started immediately after I got it back. Is it possible that they knocked something and broke it?

Tiguan :: Windshield Constantly Fogging Up

Having issues with the windshield constantly fogging up?

I love my car, but this is a large annoyance for me. It seems as though the heat is escaping from the engine bay and being ducted directly into the lower half of the windshield. I know it is occurring on the outside of the glass because I can wipe it off with the wipers, but it just keeps coming back. Sometimes, it's so bad that I can't even see the road...

I do have the APR Carbonio intake installed, and I'm wondering if the intake tube that parallels the windshield has a leak somewhere.

Touareg :: Windshield Fogging - 3 Distinct Circles

Ok so it was 93 degrees and quite humid...guess around 65-70%, in Dallas. I got the fogging problem with 3 distinct circles on the windshield. I tried several settings.

Keeping the front dash (eye level) and feet level vents on seems to work abit. Keep the air away and from going to the windshield.

Then if it still fogs up...Hitting the 2 "Recir" buttons alternatively seems to work.

This may not work in FL , VW needs a better fix than just sealing those vents and stopping airflow to the windshield completely.

Buick - Century :: 2001 - Interior Of Windshield As Well As Side Windows Fogging Up

My current issue is as such: I started my car the other evening after a long day at work to find that when I started the car (I always leave the heater/AC control in bi-level mode with the a/c on with the fan at low or not on at all, unless I need the floor heater or the defroster) the interior of the windshield as well as the side windows instantly became fogged up. It took close to 10 minutes for the windshield to defog. Upon arriving home from work, I checked the reservoir where the coolant is recirculated and found that it was bone dry.

After the vehicle had cooled down, I popped the radiator cap and indeed the radiator fluid level was down. I replaced close to a 3/4 gallon if not a tad bit more of 50/50 mix. The next morning I started the car and the problem was still there and it took a few minutes for the heater to heat the car. Last evening and then again this morning, after the engine cooled to ambient temp, i squeezed the upper and lower hoses and there was still coolant in both hoses and thought this was odd, but I started the car w/o the fan on and the problem seemed to go away, but I noticed it didn't take any time for the car to heat up. Taking all of these things into account, is this a heater core(no coolant in cabin) or water pump problem or simply a bad thermostat?

Dodge - Caravan :: 1999 - Moisture In Heating And Cooling System / Windshield Fogging

I drive two 1999 Caravans, a base model and a Sport. With both I have a persistent problem with moisture in the heating/cooling system. When I turn it on, it smells and feels moist (not like coolant), heat or A/C, summer or winter. I have pressure tested, no leaks. I have replaced heater cores, o ring seals, checked the condensate drains for blockages, replaced the metal tubes that go through the firewall on one car. There is no moisture coming from the outside. The windshield starts fogging at about 34 degrees and gets so bad when it is colder that the defroster full on with the A/C on cannot completely clear the inside glass. Really cold (for us) 20s and the windshield is so fogged that driving is scary. When I drive into a cold spot in winter, sometimes the whole windshield will fog in a few moments-- that's with the defroster on.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Both Of Headlight Are Constantly Fogging Up

I traded in my 2009 Sonata for a 2012 Elantra Ltd recently and I have had an issue with the headlights, Both of them are constantly fogging up on the inside, Anytime there is rain, even light rain the headlights fog up. Especially when I wash the car, I was thinking about taking my car into the dealer and having them repair or provide me with new headlights.

I have read that the headlights are vented on the back but this does not make sense for them to leak like this.

Tiguan :: 2010 - Windows Are Always Fogging On The Inside

My 2010 Tiguan's windows are always fogging on the inside. When backing from garage, when getting in after sitting in a parking lot, temperature and humidity seem to make it worse, but it happens under all kinds of conditions. My Jetta sits right next to the Tiguan, and it rarely fogs up.

Prius (2010-12) :: Fading / Fogging White Headlights

This isn't about the condensation build up due to faulty headlights, but the plastic on the headlights seems to be "fogging" white quicker than any other car I've owned. Have this issue on their 2010 Prius? I've only had the car since February of 2010 and already in less than 4 years, the plastic housing is starting to fade white.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Windshield Is Slanted To One Side?

I previously owned the 00 rx300 and recently got the 13 rx350. I've noticed that the 13s windshield is more slanted towards me than the 00 is. Driving the first week made me nauseous and dizzy and it was not until a week later that I got used to the change in the windshield angle.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: 07 GS350 - Cracks In Front Windshield / Replacement?

I have a couple of cracks in my front windshield and I'm thinking of replacing it.

A few years back I had the dealership work on the famous creaks and I know they stuffed felt in between the windshield cowl area. Would that need to be redone?

I would request a factory windshield but I'm concerned if it might make the creaking worse or if it would affect the integrity of the car.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: 2011 - Windshield Making Rattling Noise

I have an 2011 rx350 that had a cracked windshield. I got it replaced and ever since there has been a rattling down by the dash/windshield at the drivers side. Now the guys that installed it are very nice and have actually looked at it 3 times since but still nothing to negate the noise. I tried sticking a rag down between the dash and the glass but it hasn't totally gone away. It does appear to be worse in colder weather or when the car hasn't fully warmed up.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: 2012 - Replace Windshield To Fix Auto Rain Sensing?

My dealer says the windshield on my 2012 RX 350, which has < 8k miles, has to be replaced in order to fix the auto rain sensing function. Even though it is covered under warranty I'm confused and not happy with this. What is in the windshield that causes the problem? Could it just be the control sensor behind the rear view mirror, which they detached in their troubleshooting?

Lexus LS 2007+ :: Driver Side Window Seal Folds Over / Headlight Fogging Up

Headlight fogging up after car wash or rain.

Driver side window seal folds over badly, wind noise is evident.

Passenger side lumbar broken .

And finally. The front jerk when applying brakes. It's not there in the morning, gets worse as you start driving, feels like strut bar bushings, but all of the control arms were changed in February. Having a tech join me for a ride to show this problem to him. I'm staring to think it's either caliper, or brake actuator.
