Silverado 3500

  • 20,000 miles
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.
