When it rains or when the temperature is below 32f all the windows steam up and the defroster will not clear them up. This condition makes it vary hard to see out the windows. I have 2 of these 2010 silverados and they both do the same thing. The dealer ray skillman 3891 south post road indianapolis in told me they know they have a problem and chevrolet has no fix for the problem. I feel that this condition could cost my family and myself and other people their lives.

I've tried to unlock manually it wont work I've unlocking from the remote and the door lock switches on both doors it takes multiple times with both and then able to get out. This is a major safety issue !!!!.
Check engine warning light came on then immediately lost all engine power completely stalled), electrical (except headlights), power steering, power brakes. Engine would not restart after vehicle stopped (went into walk home mode), not even the horn would work! After about 20 minutes, the engine would restart and I could drive home, but with the check engine light on. I took the truck to the dealership the next day. The reprogrammed the main computer. After a few days, it happened again!
