My car has 150,000 miles on it and I bought it new. I park in a 50-60 degree garage. I drive 25 highway miles to work. Since it's been cold, 4 times in the past 2 weeks, I have experienced severe condensation on all the inside windows. It has happened anywhere from 5 miles from home to 20 miles from home. The last 2 times it happened very rapidly.
I customarily use the auto setting at about 70 degrees and of course, it's in heat mode this time of year (December)
When it happens, I've tried full blast defrost and opening a window with minimal results. Two days ago, I had about a 12" circle of clear window, low on the windshield. Today, I immediately switched from auto to air conditioning, leaving the setting at 70. Amazingly, the windshield nearly totally cleared, while the rest of the windows in the car continued to fog and stayed fogged until I got to work (15 minutes later).
I had the same thing happen two other times a couple of years ago many months apart. It's never happened after the car has sat outside and gotten cold before I drive home.
Any suggestions? I have a couple of sons who are pretty handy working on cars.
