My truck has had this problem from the time it was made. They designed the defroster to work with the ac unit to produce dry air. But once the outside temp drops below 35 degrees the ac unit shuts off. With this setup it causes my windows to fog up with moist air requiring me to pull off the road until I can get the window cleared. Over the last two years I have almost wrecked due to not being able to see. I have contacted the dealer and Chevrolet and have not got any help.
