Not sure about the V6 models but it definitely is an issue on my 4 banger.

For what it's worth, I have found that setting the vents to face and floor (try to let more air out of other places besides the window) and turning the AC to 72-73 degrees tends to lessen the effects of the fogging. It seems to work for me, but it's not always 100% effective.

I wonder if a couple little 3D printed vent deflectors would help with this issue. Hmmmmm...

I have seen people take the giant mouse pads and cut the foam to fit exactly in the area of the vent. Heard it worked pretty well.

That heat hits the outside, the cold air from the vent hits the inside, and the outside steams up. So maybe an easier fix is redirecting the heat from the back of the hood? It's such a small issue in the grand scheme of things that I keep forgetting to try and fix it, but mayhaps this weekend shall be the time I remember to experiment.
THIS! I have yet to have the problem, but those that do have it should definitely look into THIS! Makes sense to me.

I got my car back from the dealership after they did the repair and I still have this issue, it's basically the same as before. On top of that the A/C settings seem to be totally messed up now. A/C temperature is set to 71 with an outside temperature in the mid 80s and depending on which setting of the vents I use I get everything from warm to cold air. Obviously, I'll bring it back to the dealership.

Anyone living in Northern CA (Bay Area to be specific) having this issue? This is the only thing that is keeping me from pulling the trigger.

Haven't seen this with the Camaro but my Terrain will do this in spring and fall. Also my Equinox before that. Best part is, when it's cold enough to frost, I have a layer of ice on the inside of the windshield.

Day to day driving from SF to MTV, I don't ever see this issue. Rarely, I've noticed the window to fog up in the inside, but turning the ac on (~72) immediately cleared it up. Humidity level out here is not as high as other places, so we are not really affected.

FWIW, I have experienced it in my 2SS here in MA where weather is relatively cooler and less humid. Doesn't happen all the time though, I'll take a picture next time.

I hadn't noticed it over the summer but now that it's starting to get a little cooler here in Ontario the window fog has been a real pain in the butt.
