The contact owns a 2020 Lexus GX460. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle and driving for 10-15 minutes, the windshield and the windows became significantly foggy, requiring the contact to remove the seat belt to lean forward and wipe the windshield to pull over safely. Additionally, the contact wiped all the windows and resumed driving. The contact stated the failure had been recurring while driving.
