Ram 2500

  • 61,650 miles
I can't defrost my windshield on my 2003 Dodge truck. Last weekend when it started to rain, my windows fogged up and I had no defrosters to clear them. I almost caused a wreck on I-10 and finally had to pull into a rest stop until the rain stopped and the humidity dropped. The ac works good, just can't get air to the windshield. Dodge knows how to fix the problem, but says it's not a safety issue.
