The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle after rainfall, the contact became aware that there was rainwater on the passenger’s seat. The contact stated that the water had entered the vehicle through the sunroof. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the sunroof housing and the passenger’s side drain hose were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 53,494.
Following an overnight snow storm, I completely cleared the vehicle of snow and ice including the windshield and hood while running the vehicle to get it to operating temperature. During my morning commute, snow, slush, and water began accumulating on the windshield and froze to the outer four to six inches on both sides. The wiper edges were clear from the night before, as I had raised them off the windshield. They were able to maintain a clear view in the middle of the windshield. I ran the defroster at full temperature, the "HI" setting, with the fan speed at 6 out of 8. The external temperature was 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Driving speeds varied from 30mph on county roads and 65mph on the interstate. The front defroster vent does not run the full width of the vehicle, so there is no way to apply warm/hot air to the outer edges to keep it from refreezing and maintain full visibility. This creates unsafe driving conditions by narrowing the forward view.
