What owners wrote

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet equinox. When the temperature outside reaches between 30-35 degrees, the air conditioning unit does not defog the windshield. The feature only works in 40 degree weather. The dealer and manufacturer stated that it was the specifications of the vehicle; therefore, they could not assist. The failure mileage was 30,800.

Reported at 30,800 miles, December 2008

On october 19, 2009, I purchased a chevrolet equinox 2007. At the time of purchase I noticed condensation in the passenger side front headlight lens and I was told by the salesman at the time that it would "burn off" if I kept the lights on. Since that time both driver and passenger headlights have developed the condensation issue. The condensation does not burn off just keeps accumulating to the point where the headlight bulb would just burn out.
