Ambient outside temperature of approximately 25-degrees fahrenheit and lower causes in-cab heater/AC control that determines where air flow will be directed (defrost/floor/dash vents/combo) to stick. Occurs around one time in five; an intermittent problem. If, after commencing driving, the windshield begins to fog over and the outlet selector is stuck in any position other than defrost, it can become impossible to see out the windshield. This has caused dangerous conditions along with requiring me to pull over until the interior of the cabin heats up, allowing the selector switch to function. Truck taken to dealer many times under warranty about this problem. At times the truck was left for several days to allow replication. For whatever reason, dealer was unable to replicate the problem thus refusing to try to rectify the problem. It appears the dealers I used (3 total) were unwilling to diagnose the potentially dangerous condition. The dealers responses were such that I was basically told that I would have to live with a potentially dangerous condition. I have learned to leave the switch set in the defrost mode when parking the truck allowing the use of the defrost mode during initial operation during cold weather. Of course, that means the A/C is operating, reducing gas mileage and the cabin takes longer to heat. If I happen to forget to leave the setting at defrost I face possible catastrophe if the windshield fogs severely while operating the vehicle. Generally, when the switching system in inoperative it takes 20 minutes of so for it to begin working again. Sure was tiresome hearing dealers escape warranty work by using the "can not replicate" mantra. This lame excuse was used with other problems. When gmc expects me to spend my dollars with them in the future I, too, shall use the "can not replicate" mantra.

While parked on the street, locked and not in use for 7 days, a fire apparently started in the windshield wiper motor. It was significantly damaged and spread to the right front wheel well and left front bumper cowling, before it was put out with a fire extinguisher. The gm investigator has indicated that it is their determination that the problem started external to the vehicle.
