My truck has had this problem from the time it was made. they designed the defroster to work with the ac unit to produce dry air. but once the outside temp drops below 35 degrees the ac unit shuts off. with this setup it causes my windows to fog up with moist air requiring me to pull off the road until i can get the window cleared. over the last two years i have almost wrecked due to not being able to see. i have contacted the dealer and chevrolet and have not got any help. *tr
The front driver side window regulator cable frayed and had to be replaced. the window has always been used in a normal fashion but should not have worn so soon. being defective so soon made it very difficult to locate a replacement regulator and took me two weeks to locate one that was not special order. *tr

When the air temp starts to drop to about 35 degrees the truck automatically turns off the air conditioner compressor and if there is any moisture on the coil it is then blown into the cab of the truck and severely fogs up the inside windows making it impossible to see out. had to pull over and keep windows down until the moisture evaporated. (shower effect on mirror). *tr
The defrost does not work well. it only seems to clear about a 2ft section of the middle of the window. both passenger and driver sides of the windshield remain fogged up so you cannot see to the left or right side of the vehicle and could cause an accident. *tr
