Intermittently in cold temperatures when the defroster system is engaged it will disengage for a few seconds, then come back on. This reduces the driver's visibility and could cause an accident. Defroster system continuously does this until vehicle is turned off. This occurred on 3 separate occasions. Dealership serviced vehicle and replaced parts, but the problem still persists. In addition, consumer experienced fuel tank gauge shows only 3/4 full. Dealer stated that internal electrical fault in the fuel sending unit. Fuel sending unit replaced.
