For some reason, my Highlander seems to trap moisture inside the car. When I turn it off, after a minute or so, I hear some things moving around the vents (dampers or gates or something, maybe?), and then when I return and it’s anywhere close to freezing or colder, then I have heavy fog and possibly ice on the inside window. When the air kicks on, the fog gets even worse before finally clearing up.
I can scrape ice on the outside of my window, but this is thr only car I’ve had that freezes I side, and I hate it. Does anybody know why it does this? What was the point of designing the vents to close shortly after turning off thr car? Why are things this way?!
I have this issue in my 4R, and it seems like having AC on and recirculate off solved it for me. Apparently the recirculate overstresses the defrost, at least in my case. That’s on either defrost or foot/defrost.
Copy that. Thanks!
