Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report

Front defroster clears only the center 12 inches of the windshield while the sides stay iced or fogged, cutting off side visibility.
Windshield fogs up when the A/C or defrost is running, sometimes forcing the driver to pull over or open windows to see.
Defrost airflow is described as biased toward the floor vents (around 85% to feet, 15% to windshield), leaving little air to clear the glass.
Ice or frost on the windshield does not clear even after extended driving time, with one owner reporting no improvement after 45 minutes.
One owner's dealer said the vehicle's VIN was not included in NHTSA recall campaign 21V871000 despite having the same defrost complaint.
Heat and defrost controls reportedly stop functioning correctly, leaving little to no warm air reaching the windshield.
