All this week it's been mid 80's during the day, mid-low 60's at night & although I haven't looked at the official stats, there doesn't seem to be much humidity in the mornings. This is really unusual for this time of year here in eastern NC. I'm from Florida originally and usually the weather here stays about the same as what it is in the upper half of FL.

Moisture on windshield
I just bought a new 2016 SS. Same problem and I do not feel safe driving my brand new car when it fogs over half the window in FL.

It has gotten bad on our 2.0T car. Humidity has been brutal here and it will fog up unless you run defrost with high heat. Not exactly something we want to do in Texas heat.
GM really needs to address this issue. |

My truck does this from time to time, mostly on a morning when there's dew on everything, but I rarely run the AC and just roll my windows down, turn my wipers on and sometimes put heat on the windshield. I hope GM decides to fix this issue in the 6th Gen, I know some very small patches can't be helped but to fog up half the windshield is a problem. I can attest that turning into the sun with a fogged up windshield is HIGHLY dangerous.

If you see a hyper blue Camaro with USF plates and a black mousepad on my dash, that'll be me

I drive my truck most of the time. I barely got to the 1000 mile mark. Been waiting for the rain to go away and cooler air to come so I can drive without a fogged up windshield. |

Sadly I do not see many brethren on my commutes. But I get a compliment on the car every day I take it out on the road. Benefit/curse of being the only one for miles, yours is the only one people around you have seen.
Now I just nod and say thank you. Won't talk about the car anymore with people that ask because I'll bitch about the window, the microphone not working on the highway, the rattle in my exhaust and start I got pissed because I hit the down paddle while flashing hello back to my Mustang neighbor (steady throttle at 47 mph) and it jerked going down into 7th gear. I remember taking the 2013 Camaro in for only two problems and one of them I think is too minor to count against GM -- faulty TPMS sensor in two wheels -- more a Delphi or AC Delco issue. I'm having trouble remembering what my one real problem was with that car. But 3 (with a possible 4th if that 7th gear jerk happens again) in the first month pisses me off. New platform, I bought the first model year, lesson is being learned. GM, When are you going to get back in here and give us some new information? Just issue a TSB and replace the defrost pipe and actuator door already. You replaced TMastic's and it lasted 3 days. I'm willing to bet that door is binding and once it does any AC setting will leak unintentional cold air onto the windshield when it isn't supposed to. If you think asking customers to turn on the heat to stop it in the summer is an answer, you're out of your damn minds. |

If Wendy's gave you a meal with rat parts in it, you would need to show how it got in there in order to get any assistance. No company is required to take issues seriously anymore unless someone figures out the cause for them -- at which point they will do what they can to get in front of it to avoid lawsuits or penalties. |

Fogging... back with a vengeance
Well, had about a two-hour drive back home Saturday night. Drive from the middle of the state (warm and dry) back to Tampa (hot and humid/stormy, dew point in low 70s).
About 2/3rds the way back, the fogging started. Threw the mousepad up. Kept it at bay. About 20ish minutes from the house, the windshield is absolutely a mess. The first two pics are from my fiancee in the passenger seat; you can see how difficult it is to see when light hits the windshield while fogged. Thank god for the mousepad as I kept that blocking the windshield in my direct line of vision, but as you'll see from the photo taken in my garage as soon as I got home, a large chunk of the windshield was fogged. Torso vents only, low-to-mid 70s temp., re-circ both on and off. During the early stages of the fogging, turning re-circ OFF seemed to keep the fogging to a minimum. Eventually though, it didn't matter whether it was on or off, it was taking over the windshield. My contact at the GM Exec Office and I had a long conversation this morning and I have sent the pics as well as additional info over. She's trying to get this escalated, given that the first fix (that kept my Camaro at the dealership for weeks) corrected my original HVAC issue but NOT the fogging issue. Will keep you all posted, of course.

I had pulled over once because I couldn't see to try and rid of the fogging (and I missed my turn). It... was not a fun end to the day.
And before anyone asks, yes, I WAS trying to get rid of it... you can see I used my wipers.
