The autodimming rear view mirror has begun to darken in normal light and makes it difficult to see out of the mirror at traffic and objects behind the car, making for a potential safety hazard. The mirror looks like the pixels for the autodimming feature have cracked and leaked out, blocking visibility
the back glass on my convertible few into traffic as the bonding agent failed and is a common problem with my vehicle
THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AND DRIPS WITH AIR ON THE FEET. NO WAY TO CLEAR THE INCREASING FOG UNLESS YOU TURN THE AIR-CONDITIONING OFF AND INCREASE THE HEAT THERE FOR ON THE 90+ HOT AND MUGGY DAY YOU ARE LEFT WITH HEAT EXHAUSTION OR PULLING OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAYS WHICH IS NEVER SAFE. WHEN IT RAINS GOOD LUCK DECIDING IF YOU WANT TO TURN THE WINDOW DEFOGGERS ON AND CAUSE CONDENSATION OR OPEN THE WINDOWS IN THE RAIN TO GET WET WHICH MAKES THE WINDOWS STEAM UP COMPLETELY OR LAST RESORT IS TO TURN THE HEAT UP ON THE DEFROSTERS AND HEAT UP THE WHOLE CAR. . OR AGAIN, PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INDEFINITELY OR DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR IN 80% OF THE SOUTH'S WEATHER CONDITIONS. REALLY SAD THAT GM AND THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS FIX TO THIS ISSUE IS TO SAY "WELCOME TO THE SOUTH" AND LAUGH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN ITS MUGGY OUT, RAINING, COOL AND WET, EARLY MORNING OR LATE EVENING. IT ONLY GETS WORSE WITH THE WIPERS, ONLY GETS BETTER WITH HIGHER HEAT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. SO IN ESSENCE MOST OF THAT OR THOSE DAYS.
EVER SINCE THE FIRST DAY I TOOK DELIVERY OFY BRAND NEW CAMARO THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP EXCESSIVELY WHEN RUN INTO THE AC NO MATTER HOW IT'S SET. I'VE HAD IT BACK AT THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES INCLUDING ONCE WHERE THEY PERFORMED AN ON THE FLY REMOVAL OF A PIECE OF FOAM TO SUPPOSEDLY HELP SEAL THE DASH TO WINDSHIELD MODE ACTUATOR DOOR WHICH DIDN'T FIX IT. WINDSHIELD WAS REMOVED TO PERFORM THIS AND IT CRACKED HAD TO GET A NEW WINDSHIELD INSTALLED OVERALL THIS IS NOT ONLY AN ANNOYANCE BUT A SAFETY HAZZARD I CAN'T DRIVE IT IN THE SUMMER WITHOUT SWEATING INSIDE THE CABIN BECAUSE WITH THE AC ON AND DAY VENTS ONLY IT ACTS AS IF THERE IS AN ICE CHEST AND A TURBO FAN BLASTING ICE COLD AIR ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE HUMIDITY JUST PLASTERS THE WINDSHIELD WITH FOG ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. FOG TREATMENT SPRAYS DON'T WORK. NOTHING HAS. GM DOESN'T EVEN TRY TO SOLVE IT. MY WIFE WON'T DROVE THE CAR DUE TO THE VISION BEING IMPEDED. HAPPENS WHEN SITTING STILL OR DRIVING.
DEFECTIVE HVAC SYSTEM: EXCESSIVE MOISTURE ON OUTSIDE WINDSHIELD, DUE TO HVAC BLOWING AC COLD AIR ONTO WINDSHIELD INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHILE RUNNING AC UNIT. EVERY TIME I USE MY AC THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP WITH EXCESSIVE MOISTURE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND IT A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM, AS YOU HAVE TO RUN THE WIPERS TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD FOR ANY VISIBILITY FOGGING ISSUES. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE YET TO COME UP WITH A FIX, AS ALL 2016-2018 CHEVROLET CAMARO'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND YET THEY STILL SELL THEM AND ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FIXING THIS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE! GUESS GM IS WAITING FOR THEIR CAMARO CUSTOMERS TO GET KILLED FIRST BEFORE THEY ACT TO FIX THIS ONGOING PROBLEM.
WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AND BLOCKS VISIBILITY TREMENDOUSLY (ON A VEHICLE WITH LOW VISIBLE ALREADY, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS). THIS IS CAUSED BY COLD AIR LEAKING FROM THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER VENT, AND HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF DEFROSTER SETTING. IT BECOMES A PROBLEM ON HOT AND HUMID DAYS AND WHEN IT RAINS, RENDERING THE AC USELESS IF YOU WANT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. FURTHER, TURNING THE AC OFF DOES NOT DECREASE THE FOGGING, NOR DOES DRIVING THE CAR OR SITTING STATIONARY. THE ONLY WAYS TO KEEP IT AT BAY ARE TO RUN HOT AIR (HORRIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE ON HOT/HUMID DAYS) OR TO CONSTANTLY RUN THE WIPERS ON A HIGH SPEED. ASIDE FROM THOSE, RUNNING COLD AIR CONDITIONING (WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER OFF) CAUSES A DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF FOGGING IN THE AFOREMENTIONED CONDITIONS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED AND THE GLASS SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TIPOTEX CHEVROLET (1600 N. EXPRESSWAY 77/83, BROWNSVILLE, TX 78521), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,800.
FRONT WINDSHIELD FOGGING UP. IS SPECIALLY SCARY WHEN THE SUN IS IN YOUR FACE AND THE WINDSHIELD IS FOGGY MAKES THE EFFECT 10 TIMES WORSE TO THE POINT I CANT SEE. HAPPENS DURING HUMID AND WARM DAYS SO PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE IN THE SOUTH IS DOOMED.
THERE IS A CONTINUED BEHAVIOR OF THE FRONT WINDOW FOGGING UP, NEARLY COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTING MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY IN THE EARLY MORNINGS IN HIGH HUMIDITY SITUATIONS.
I WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOSE WHEN I WENT INTO THE GARAGE TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT WAS THE NOISE WAS ABOUT, THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED SO I LOOKED TO SEE FROM WHAT AND I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING IN AROUND OR ON THE CAR NOTHING WAS ABOVE THE CARE THAT COULD HAVE FALLEN ON THE CAR THE WINDOW JUST SHATTERED ON ITS OWN, I HAVE ALSO BEEN HEARING SOME RATTLING NOSE WHEN I WAS DRIVING THAT COMES AND GOES IN THE BACK PANEL. *TR
