Fogging problems???
Not sure if anyone else has this problem...had my '15 GS FSport for a month, and thing fogs up really quick and easy. It can be 60 outside and in seconds my windows are fogged. I always have to drive with my defrost on, so today I got a rock chip and seconds later an 8" crack because of it! A little annoyed with this right now.

Sorry to hear about the rock, 2013 Luxury and no fogging issues whatsoever. I'm sure you already checked the usual suspects and ensured the system is on auto (so the A/C scrubs the moisture) and on outside air mode (as opposed to recirc). Others will chime in. Good luck.

Sorry about your window crack, that sucks. You do have the auto button on right, your not trying to run it without the a/c being on? This car will default to recirculated air by default above 70 or so degrees. So it if its humid outside and the system is on recirc and you have the ac off= lots of foggy windows.

I have a 2015 GS 350 F-sport and no problems here.
Noticed something interesting driving my mom's ES yesterday...she asked me why the air only comes out cold in recirculation mode and when she changes it outside air mode it blows warm air from outside. I thought this was weird and was a problem, so I checked the climate settings by using the screen and found that the AC has been off the whole time. Once I clicked on the AC button, everything worked the way it suppose to. I suspect you're experiencing a similar problem...

A/C wasn't on cause it was cold here last week and didn't want cool air blowing...still had the problem before with A/C on. Turned it on so we'll see if that fixes it. Now if this crack would stop growing...grew another half inch just sitting in the garage!

You should probably get that windshield repaired or replaced ASAP! I don't think the crack in the windshield is due to the humidity. I know that many members complained about the weakness of the windshield. I think someone mentioned that it was due to the angle and curvature of the windshield that makes it prone to chips and cracks.

To the OP - it sounds like the reason why you have fogging windows is because you have the A/C turned Off. The A/C should never be turned Off, even if the outside temperature is -40 degrees...because you always want the air to be conditioned, thus the name 'Air Conditioning' or A/C for short. You should also always have the A/C in the 'Auto' mode, which alternates between the Recirculating mode and the Fresh Air mode. The only time you would ever want the system to be on strictly recirculating inside air only would be to keep outside smells (e.g. skunk smell) from getting inside the car.

Bottom line just set the temp you like and let the car do the rest.

SNiiP3R - In your image you provided, it is now in the recirculating mode, which means the system keeps recirculating inside air only instead of bringing in a mix of fresh outside air so the air doesn't get stale inside the car. Having the A/C in the Auto mode will alternate between these two modes...

Ah, okay - you were showing him the mode that he should not be in. When you said; "It should look something like this," I thought you meant it really should look like that, if it was set correctly. How it was worded was confusing...to me anyway...
