The defrost on my truck does not funtion properly. It may take up to 15 to 20 minutes for my front windshield and driver and passenger window to clear. The windows are clear when I pull out of the garage. As I am traveling to my destination the windshield and driver and pssenger windows fog up. I usually pull over to the side of the road until it clears. I let my truck warm up before leaving the driveway so the air coming out is warm. Most of the time I may have an 8 inch circle to see out of. If I wipe it off it comes back again. This has been happening since I purchased the vehicle in 2014. I didn't like but I was living with it. But this is certainly a hazard to me and other drivers.

My wiper blade was damaged from ice and road spray during a storm. I tried to buy a replacement. Found wiper uses an odd vehicle specific mount. Wiper blade seems to be only available from chevy. Not even a delco blade is available. There is no reason to use a new style mount, the basic arm and blade are the same as always. Not having the ability to quickly replace a damaged blade during bad weather creates a real safety issue especially nights and weekends when chevy dealers are closed.

I was currently at plainview texas, 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, unable to drive due to rain, had to stop to wait for rain to go away, wipers fell to work during cold weather. Both wiper froze causing them not to work, had to stop at different stores to check if there was something wrong. Once we enter el paso TX started to work. Not safe to drive on a cold weather, wipers should be able to work in any type of weather, I was in dangerous driving along with my 2 daughters and husband.

The passenger windshield wiper does not touch the windshield to the extreme right in the lower position. This causes a streaked windshield and ice build up in the winter. It makes it hard to so a car approaching from the right in rain and almost impossible to see in the winter weather conditions. I've taken it to the dealer. They replaced the blade but the new blade still doesn't wipe the full windshield. I've called gm and they siad there is nothing that they can do since it must be a design flaw in the wiper system. I am afraid to drive at night in a rain and in the winter when there is any ice or snow. There are two websites that are gm truck owners and there are several comments very close to the problems I am having with my windshield wipers.

April, 2013 - truck was parked out side, and I left for a 70 mile trip early in the morning, after the dew had fallen. June, 2013 - a tropical storm swept through the area, dumping tons of rain; causing the humidity to rise a few hours later as well as causing everything to be moist/wet. Both events were either in the early morning hours or in the evening after the sun went down, and involve wetness/moisture, humidity, and the inability to "dry" the windshield. Problem: there is a "condensation film" that forms on the windshield due to the outside elements being more moist and humid than the inside of the windshield. Usually, when turning on the defroster, this will "dry" the windshield and make the condensation film go away. However, the defroster on this model does not "dry" the windshield on the right side (passenger) of the vehicle. The air coming out of the defroster on the right side is not as strong as the left. There is a constant condensation film that forms and remains. The wipers will clear the wetness/moisture away, temporarily, but the film remains and the moisture/wetness returns. This makes the visibility on the right side of the truck non-existent, and when turning a right hand corner, or entering an intersection, you can not see out of the right hand side of the windshield. This is a liability and accident waiting to happen. . . . . . . Confirmation/manufacturer knowledge: I took my vehicle into the dealer - twice - and was told this was "normal" for this model. I contacted the gm hotline, who escalated the claim to the engineering claims department and was told that this is a reoccurring problem, that they were aware of it, and told the dealer not to do any repairs at this time. I also talked to the dealers head mechanic who said that he has seen this numerous times in the past. Is gm waiting for a death before fixing? pictures available. . .

Cold air blowing instead of hot air and could not defrost windshield. Had to pull off road and scrape inside of windshield. This has occured several times over the years where hot air is coming from passenger side and cold air coming from drivers side. Very dangerous if you cannot see through the windshield as windows fog or freeze up.

The windshield wipers will not turn off at times, causing me to pull over and remove the fuse for w/s wipers. Afterwards, as I continue driving and it starts raining again or I get splashed by another driver, my visibility is greatly diminished to a point to where safety is of "grave" concern. It is getting to the point to where it is happening too much.
