| At temps starting around 35 degrees the defroster stops working and the inside windows fog up leaving no visability at all. so far the only way to clear it is to open windows and wait. not good when its cold. moisture builds up like a steamy shower on a mirror. i have read lots of complaints about the same issue and if there isnt a recall to fix then there should be lawsuits filed against chevrolett and this web site for not taking action. or are we all supost to wait until people start dying in accidents first? | |||
