Example complaints
Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “Visibility through front stationary portion of driver's side window is compromised due to internal fogging of two-pane glass window. Rear portion of window slides fore and aft. At some sun angles this fogging obscures driver's view of left side mirror making view of oncoming/passing traffic difficult.”
