ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE WINDSHIELD HAS UNEXPECTEDLY FOGGED UP WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEVERELY REDUCES VISIBILITY. THE WINDSHIELD TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES TO CLEAR WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS SET TO HIGH HEAT, HIGH FAN AND FULL DEFROST. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 45 MINUTES AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ON EVERY OCCASION IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DROPPED TO 34F AND THE AIR-CONDITIONING SHUT DOWN. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ON OUR OTHER FLEET VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. *LN

THERE ARE SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH OF MY 2010 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN AS EXPLAINED BELOW. ONE OF THESE CRACK IS IN THE AREA OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH IS MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE DASH. AS THE DASH EXPANDS IN THE HEAT, TYPICALLY IN THE HOT MONTHS OF THE SUMMER, THE PLASTIC PORTION OF THE DASH WILL COVER THE AIRBAG PORTION OF THE DASH. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF I DO NOT NOTICE THIS AND THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY.
