fogging
Well,some peaple have said it is from the new plastic dashes,one thing you can do to prevent fogging on the interior is to leave your windows open a crack,so it gives warm air a chance to escape, i usually run my ac briefly before getting home to get the warm air out

Just turn the temp up a little, the dry warm air will take care of the problem. If you turn on the defrost with cold air yah the air is dry put when it hits the windshield air thats warmer you get the condensation. So when i get that problem just turn the temp dial straight up and down or a little more, should take care of it unless you've got other problems.
This is a common problem associated with all new vehicles. This happens due to the fact that they use plasticizer when molding the polypropelene (or whatever other polymer blend they use). If you've had your car more than 6 months or so though it probably shouldn't be happening and there is something else wrong.

I was wondering if anyone else had this trouble. It seems that is a haze build-up on the windshield. Running the defogger/defroster helps to reduce the severity of it, but it's always there. Even after a good cleaning 4 or 5 times in a row it still comes back in just a few weeks. Please note that running the defogger/defroster also turns on the compressor causing you to use more fuel); if you read in the owner's manual it states that the compressor always runs in the defog/defrost mode to condense the moisture in the air and supply dry air to the windshield.

also constant fogging could be from a heater core problem, but if your not smelling coolant I don't guess that would be your problem.
zzzzzzz, maybe you should just drop a match and walk away!
