1.normal driving, window starting to fog up. Turn on defroster. 2. instantly total loss of visability because of windshield being covered with heavey fog 3.nothing done, I thought I must have had something set wrong in the heater/ defroster buttons. I pulled over tried several different settings and window eventually cleared. (this fog was to the degree that I would not have started on my trip until I cleared the windshield if it had been like that when I got into the vehicle) I have nevr been able to determine when this is going to happen or any way to prevent it. It is however very dangerous. Even after the fog has occured, it is difficult to get it to clear quickly. It can happen when the car is cold or very warmed up.I had to put in a speed but this is truly irrelevant.
