windshield Condensation Issue
Has anyone had an issue with condensation in 2 oval shaped spots on the inside of the windshield???. I notice it only at night. I just want to be sure this is not a major issue! The year of mine is 2012 , which I've only had for a few months.

I totally noticed this very thing on my vehicle today. It was very hot and humid here today. I ran the AC of course and wondered if it was some moisture from the Evaporator some how coming up through the Defrost Vent? Will investigate as much as I can but would like to know the source as well.

Please do keep us posted. I've gone that route and wasn't able to find the cause. It may be the Engine heat, but those new hood vents on 13+ models don't seem to help in this regards.

I've been putting a small detail towel in the middle of my dash covering the vents and it seems to help somewhat...but it depends on the temp and moisture in the air.

I recommend you bring your vehicles in to your Ford Dealer for diagnosis. Then, PM me with your VIN, dealer, mileage, full name, and best daytime number so I can escalate this to the customer service manager for your area.

I have the same issue when the outside air is heavy with humidity. I found it depends on how cold the a/c is set. I have even had it build on the outside....a swipe with the wipers one night surprised me that it disappeared. My dealer says it is normal in the newer car systems.....seems to be ok once the air has reached the set temps.

Happened only once since I've owned the car. Just make sure you switch to a different setting other than defrost before you turn the car off. I had the same issue on a 2001 Malibu.
