Driving at highway speed in light rain resulted in a "carwash effect" on my windshield. Drops did not run but splattered in a manner which completely obscured visibility of the road. I was driving blind, regardless of wiper speed, in very light rain. Is there research showing windshield angle as the cause of such a problem? This has occurred a second time in light rain.

While driving the vehicle on the highway at 68mph with no traffic alongside nor in front of me the sunroof glass shattered voluntarily causing small shards of glass to fall into my face and clothing as well as outside the top of the vehicle. The sun shade was open and the glass on closed on the roof and not vented. There was no chance of road debris hitting the closed sunroof nor was there an overpass from anything to fall off from to make impact. The glass exploded and spider-webbed the entire sunroof.
The vehicle side windows and outer edges of the windshield would fog up and the defroster/defogger would not clear the condition. The colder it was outside and the further I drove the vehicle the worse it got. This happened on multiple occasions before the dealer finally mostly corrected it.I say mostly because the vehicle still is quite slow to defog the windows in very cold conditions. It is much better but still not what I would consider optimal.
Windows steam and fog frequently and the fan does not clear all windows. Windshield center will only defrost when on low speed. It will not maintain a clear view unless on high speed and then sometimes the lower corners of the windshield stay steamed or fogged..
It was raining, and approximately 40 degrees as indicated by the car thermometer. I was driving and the windshield wipers were going and clearing the rain per normal operation. Suddenly the drivers side wiper only went up about one-quarter of the way of normal and the passenger side went clear over the stuck drivers side wiper. Despite all attempts to fix it at the closest gas station I couldn't find out where the problem occurred, but I did see that the passenger side could not go up and down by pulling it manually, but the drivers side would freely go up and down just by moving it manually. I couldn't see much of anything after that, but got the car home.
The front windshield fogs up or gets a film on it making it a safety hazard because at night when lights are coming towards you it is impossible to see out the windshield. The side windows in extreme cold also freeze on the inside and do not thaw until after the car has sat. It is hard to say if this is a film or fogged because it happens when the defrosters are on. I clean the windows but it keeps happening.
3rd time since purchasing in march 2014 that heater and or air conditioning has stopped working. Was told first 2 times that it was the motor and sensor, those were replaced now while making yet another road trip 4 hours from our home with our child the heat went out. Heater will not blow warm air or any air for that matter and defrosted will not work resulting in us stopping every few miles to manually wipe the windshield down.
