The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated while his wife was stopped at a traffic light, the light turned green and the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact stated that his wife was unable to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that when he attempted to jump start the vehicle, the vehicle remained off, but the passenger’s side rear taillight illuminated, and the windshield wipers engaged independently. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after three attempts. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the battery had failed. The vehicle was then taken to Connell Chevrolet (2828 Harbor Blvd, Costa Mesa, CA 92626) who diagnosed that the battery needed to be replaced. The battery was replaced, and the dealer test drove the vehicle but informed the contact that they could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 42,767.

Vehicle was purchased new. Within the first 3 months windshield has always fogged up. Issue seemed minor at first but is annoying and is a safety hazard. When running the AC, I always have to turn on wipers to clear-and condensation is always right above defrost vent.

Windshield fogs up when driving to the point that visibility is so obscured you can't drive. When you turn defog on, the outside glass fogs up and you must use wipers but the fogging reoccurs so quickly that it still obstructs view

Mainly at night the windshield has lots of condensation on the outside . There is a service bulletin but it doesn't help, actually it made mine worse. You can feel the air coming from the defroster on the inside of the car. We have to ride with the wipers on. I had a case with gm but it was closed because the engineers said that there is nothing to be done. We bought the car in february it has some condensation but has only gotten worse

They have a flaw where there is always vent from when the AC is on to the defrost vent on the windshield, here in texas where there is 100 humidity most of the year. I have poor visibility because of all the condensation from cold air hitting the windshield all the time. I am having to run my wipers anytime I drive my vehicle, even with no rain. It causes for a major distraction and I have almost wreck several times
