| Description of the problem | Gm condenser issue. Gm has a known issue with 2014-2016 models using a defective condenser. They have a new part # that is on national backorder and are unwilling to do anything for their customers waiting for the part. I was driving down the freeway, kids in tow, on a rainy muggy day in the pacific northwest last week. My windshield began to fog and with no condenser to run the ac i was unable to defrost my windows. Unable to see a thing i had to pull over, on the freeway, carefully, and find a child's coat in the very back to wipe down the windows to crest visibility. This is a safety issue and clearly negligence on gm's part and they would be held liable if/when this creates a serious accident. |
