THE WINDSHIELD IS CONSTANTLY FOGGING TO THE POINT THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD FOGS OVER BECAUSE GM STATES THAT ITS DESIGNED THAT WAY....WHICH IS GREAT IF DRIVING WITH MY HEAD OUT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. I HAVE SENT MULTIPLE PICTURES TO GM AND THEY SAY ITS NORMAL. IT'S SO RIDICULOUS THAT THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE GM IS NO HELP. GM CAN NOT BE ALLOWED TO DISMISS THIS SEROIUS PLROBLEM. IF YOU CANT SEE OUT OF A WINDSHIELD, HOW IS ANYONE SUPPOSE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE SAFELY??? I CAN SUBMIT MULTIPLE PICTURES OF MYSELF ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING.
