Similar conditions here now, I actually took my car to work today, and am at lunch...a/c was on, no fogging at all.

Wasn't someone supposed to make a nice cover for the top vent for the people who had issues?

First time seeing this thread, had i known about this, likely would have purchased a different car. Customer satisfaction, let alone safety issues, should be a concern for GM and these complaints should not have been stonewalled.

I only have 200 miles on my car, but will be looking out for the problem.

Yeah... haven't heard from him in a while. I wouldn't mind some a little more permanent than the base board I've been using.

Seem like this issue is very active during summer(except for you lucky folks in warm FL

) . If someone was to develop a solution now would be the time to get the inventory ready.

Sorry to say but in warm HUMID Florida during the summer I had this issue with my AC on. I had to keep turning on my wipers to clear. With that AC hitting the w/s with that little bit of cold air, condensation builds very quickly on the w/s and fogs it up.

we should all spam Al. O and get him to fix it. If enough people voice their opinions, something moves.

If the dealer won't fix it, file a BBB complaint.

It CAN and SHOULD be repaired.

Customer complaint:

"A/C mode door leaking cold air onto windshield via defroster ducts, causing poor visibility."

Which could cause accidents and lawsuits.

I can see, well cant see and accident happening to one of us in the near future because of this problem, GM needs to put a Campaigne(Recall) on it now

Is this issue limited to 2016 model year?

No '17s have it too.

This is the reason I am still hesitant to pull the trigger on a 6th gen. Unlike many of the issues posted in this subforum, the windshield fogging does not look like an isolated incident. More disconcerting is that GM sees this as normal.

Personally, it did not hold me back and really isn't what I call a good reason to not get the car. It can be easily "remedied" by blocking the vent on the small percentage of days it becomes a real issue.

+1, when I first heard about this issue it made me question my decision, but didn't know it was such a simple DIY fix.
