Rochester MI, December 2, 2004.

"Pedestrian accident: A 23-year-old Warren woman was hit by a car as she jaywalked across Main Street in downtown Rochester around 10:30PM Nov.24. The driver of the car, a 26-year-old Macomb woman, said she has just turned on her defroster and it fogged her windshield so she never saw the pedestrian. She was ticketed for careless driving. The pedestrian, who was thown 50 feet, was taken to Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital, where she underwent surgery."

A Lexus or Toyota??

But for sure an automatic climate control system designed by NipponDenso, Denso US.

I've had cars of both American, German, and Japanese manufacture do the same thing. It's not unique to any brand.

Your A/C is totally non-functional with the OAT below 32F. Most modern day systems disable the AQ/C below about ~35F.

The subject matter has to do with windshield fogging LONG after the cabin itself is up to your desired temperature, let alone the engine water jacket.

so why do think that happend? design flaw or just a malfunction?

if its below the freezing point of water i dont think it should be happening. is there a link to the full article?

Usually in Virginia when it gets belows 32 degrees we get ice on our windshields and can't see where we are going.
