2005 Ford Freestyle Visibility & Wipers Problems

THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS WARM AIR ONLY. *TR

REAR WINDOW OF 2005 FORD FREESTYLE EXPLODED WHEN DRIVING OUT OF THE GARAGE. *TR

WHEN IT RAINS WATER LEAK INSIDE THE CAR CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD AND WINDOWS OF THE CAR TO FOG REAL BAD. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF I - 65 BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. THE WINDSHIELD AND THE WINDOWS FOGGED SO FAST THAT I COULD NOT SEE THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN TO US. *TR

WINDSHIELD GLARE UNSAFE. E.G. ROUNDING CORNER INTO SUNLIGHT CAUSES DASH REFLECTION ONTO WINDSHIELD & UNABLE TO SEE OBJECTS OR VEHICLES IN FRONT. USE OF POLARIZED SUNGLASSES HELPS...BUT CAN'T WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME. DIFFICULT TO JUDGE DISTANCE, SEE OTHER VEHICLES.*JB

REFLECTION ON WINDSHIELD MAKES VISIBILITY VERY DIFFICULT. THIS CAUSES DRIVING BLIND FOR SHORT INSTANCES AND MAKES MANEUVERING/PARKING IN TIGHT SPOTS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. *NM

DT: CONTACT STATES THE INTERIOR COLOR OF VEHICLE IS CAUSING A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THIS HAPPENS ON A CLEAR AND SUNNY DAY. WHEN IT IS CLOUDY THE REFLECTION IS NOT AS BAD. THE SERVICE DEALER SUGGESTED PUTTING A RUG ON THE DASHBOARD TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM.*AK

GLARE ON DASH. NO ACCIDENT YET, BUT WILL BE.

THE REFLECTION OF THE DASHBOARD ONTO THE WINDSHIELD IMPEDES VISIBILITY OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. GOING FROM THE OUTSIDE (BOTH SUNNY AND CLOUDY DAYS) INTO A GARAGE OR TUNNEL, THE EXTREME GLARE PROHIBITS VISIBLITY THROUGH THE WINDSHEILD. WHEN IN A PARKING LOT AND BACKING OUT OF A SPACE, VISIBILITY IS RESTRICTED SEEING THE ADJACENT CARS.

DT: WHEN WINDOWS IN BACK SEAT ARE ROLLED DOWN THE NOISE IS DEAFENING. IT HURTS THE EARS OF ANYBODY IN VEHICLE. WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN THE WHOLE VAN VIBRATES. TOOK IT TO DEALER, AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION. HE CALLED FORD,THEY SAID IF THEY DECIDE THERE IS A PROBLEM THEY WILL CALL HIM BACK. CONTACT HAS CONCERNS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE BUYING THIS VEHICLE. CONTACT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT.*AK
