Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report

  • Windshields repeatedly fog up from condensation near the dash vent even when the defrost setting is not selected and the A/C is off.
  • Owners report the fogging worsens with high humidity, sometimes forcing them to run the wipers continuously with no rain falling.
  • Several drivers say a dealer performed a known fix (referencing a GM service bulletin) but the condensation returned or got worse afterward.
  • Some describe the fog occurring mid-drive, obstructing forward visibility and creating what they call a safety hazard.
  • A few owners note the condensation appears even when the car is parked and powered on, not just while driving.
