while driving my vehicle when the outside temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit or below I turn my defrost on and for 30 plus seconds my front window completely fogs up and I am unable to see out of my front window and have zero visibility which caused me to crash.
There is a lot of interior chrome, something I have complained to GMC about before. Today it caused me to be temporarily blinded by the reflection of the sun at multiple angles preventing me from seeing other vehicles. I had my 3 year old daughter in the car with me as I was nearly killed because I could not [XXX] see. If my daughter had been hurt I would have lost my [XXX] mind because I TOLD GMC ABOUT THIS BEFORE!!!! Interior chrome is dangerous and needs to go. At a bare minimum they need to offer replacement parts and install for all this interior chrome. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The windshield washer tank was leaking fluid to the point that no fluid was available to clean the window. Upon repair it was found that a protruding screw had punctured the washer fluid tank causing the leak. The mechanic backed off the screw and added a rubber cap to the tip of the screw to hopefully prevent another incident.
