Wiper’s failed while driving though a driving rain storm, wipers were on the highest speed

Hello I have 2 active safety recalls for my GMC Terrain 2015 that the manufacturer does not want to repair as well as the dealership where I bough from it is Headlamp VeIling Glare (NHTSA # 22V137) Windshield Wiper Failure ( NHTSA # 22V165 ) my car is paid off, and I want to listed as a Host and I can't until this is fixed can you please help Thanks Olga

Engine failure - car engine turned off when I stopped at a stop sign. Car warning lights flashed. Had to shut ignition off and turn on again. Car started again, but with check engine light staying on. From that point on, every time I would slow down for traffic lights, stop signs, turns or for any other reason when slowing down, the car would shut off. This was extremely dangerous in traffic as it would stall out randomly when slowing down. The car did not give any indication of any pending problems. Windshield wipers - stopped dead during a heavy rainstorm while traveling on a highway. Wipers were completely non-functional in any mode. Had to try to pull off the highway and park as driving visibility was non-existent. Safety to myself and others was completely compromised as I could not see to drive. No warning signs or messages to advise of this problem coming.

My windshield wipers snapped off in the middle of a storm. I had them replaced and submitted all the paperwork to GMC. They have not reimbursed me.

My wipers on my 2015 GMC Terrain failed when I was driving, during a rain storm. I called the GMC Customer Service number about this recall before I had my car inspected. After giving customer service a call, I felt like no resolution was done. Yes, I believe not having windshield wipers does put others on the road at risk, when it is needed during a rainfall. I went to an independent service to have my car diagnosed, and they confirmed that my wipers did not work and it needed replaced. There was no warnings lights on my dashboard before my wipers stopped.

The windshield wipers failed while driving the vehicle on the highway in the rain. The wipers stopped without warning and had no previous issues. I could not see out the windshield. Fortunately, I was able to get off the highway. If there was heavier traffic, it could have caused a serious accident. I took the vehicle to an independent repair shop since it was the weekend and I was about 30 miles from home. They replaced the wiper motor and wiper transmission arm. They showed me how the parts failed. I have a receipt for the work. GMC will not reimburse me for the repair since they have not issued a fix for this issue. It has been 2 years and 5 months since GMC issued the Special Coverage Adjustment. Considering the seriousness of the defect and the potential for loss of life, it is unconscionable that GMC does not have a fix for this.

Windshield wipers stopped working during rain storm on 5/17/2022 while driving with grandchildren in vehicle. This was a very dangerous occasion. No service center will inspect this free of charge. No warning lights were prompted.

The windshield wipers stopped working on 3/24/2022. There is a recall on the windshield wipers of this vehicle. I called Sunrise GMC Wolfchase and gave them the VIN and they confirmed that It was a recall and scheduled an appointment to fix it for the following week 3/29/2022. I brought the vehicle in and was told by the service manager that they would not fix the windshield wipers according to the recall because the car has a new/savage title. However, they had all parts in stock and would be able to fix it for the price of 575.32. I do not understand this because after reviewing the NHTSA.GOV answers I read that "being salvaged is not reason for a manufacturer to deny a recall. Under the law, they must replace that defective part as long as the car is drivable." Please advise as soon as possible on what steps to take next. As of now, This is our only vehicle and it is needed for transportation to and from work. Thankyou

The windshield wiper motor arm disconnects from the wiper arm making the windshield wipers inoperable. It has happened to my car several times.

It was snowing. I cleared all the snow off my vehicle and warmed it up. I went to turn my wipers on, and they didn't work. The wipers just won't turn on.

I was driving home last evening in the rain and with no warning my windshield wipers quit working. My visibility was severely impaired and this could have caused a very serious accident.

When I entered the vehicle to drive on a rainy day the windshield wipers would not come on after I moved the arm up. They would sometimes work when on "INT" but would not stay on and they would not work at all in the low or hi mode. There were no warning lights on. There has currently been no inspection. This caused me to have to drive home in the rain with poor visibility because the wipers would not work properly, as the "INT" mode would turn on and off randomly and not in the typical pattern on "INT" mode.

This is NOT a vehicle issue, but an issue of Wiper Blade manufacture. I Purchased Michelin Guardian wiper blades for my 2015 GMC Terrain which has the large PTB arm latching system. The Michelin blades do not latch securely into the arm and can be easily removed by hand without touching the latch release. My concern is the blades may become unsecured by normal usage and fly off the vehicle leaving the driver stranded who knows where. My thought scenario is between rest areas on the Indiana Toll Road between the Ohio state line and Chicago, IL. Imagine a retirement aged senior citizen in such a predicament. I have replaced the Michelin blades with Rain-X which latch securely and will return the Michelin blades. My concern is for the un-aware, un-suspecting driver who may experience the latch failure I have described. FYI, Michelin has not responded to my correspondence to them on this issue.

As I was navigating my way home on Nov. 3, 2021 the windshield wipers stop working and it was dark and pouring down raining. There was no warning. Then the radio started acting weird the bluetooth went away and I could not get it back on the screen to connect. I tried turning on and off the radio but it would not turn off. The biggest danger to my life was that I could not see so I had to keep pulling on side streets to wipe the windshield so I could make it home in the dark and pouring rain. When the bluetooth stopped connecting I had to pull over again and pipe the directions through my phone to continue to navigate home. The windshield wiper can be confirmed by the dealer because it still did not turn on today. The radio turned on and off today and the bluetooth icon was back.

On 10/25/2021 at approximately 5:40 AM, I was on my way to work. It was raining and dark at that time so of course I had the wipers on. As I proceeded to get onto the highway, the wipers completely stopped as I exited the on ramp. Immediately I had to maneuver to the shoulder of the highway. Considering I couldn't see that could have easily been an accident since my visibility was 0 as well as being parked on the side of the highway for a prolonged period. My husband came and traded vehicles with me. He eventually got my vehicle off the highway and to a repair shop where they diagnosed the problem: the wiper transmission went out. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone. There were no warnings that this problem was going to occur

I was driving with my elderly mother and granddaughter home from a wedding. We were traveling from Peoria, Illinois to Camden, Ohio. About 50 or 60 miles into the 300 mile trip, the windshield wipers abruptly quit working. It was raining heavily and we we on busy interstate route 74. We had to blindly cut across 2 lanes of traffic to get to the right side of the road! The wiper malfunction was not the fault of a blown fuse. I had to be escorted by a police officer to the nearest exit for obvious safety reasons. We were stranded for hours. The rain did not diminish. I had to drive slowly on the back roads to finally reach my destination 8 hours later. It was a frightening experience. I took it to a trusted mechanic. It was diagnosed as a bad motor and transmission assembly. The cost was $350. Thankfully we were not injured. But I am afraid to travel in the rain anymore.

Driving on highway 70mps all of a sudden starts raining, then down, wipers turned on and working no issue All of a sudden they stopped working!! On a Highway, storming and I couldn’t see at all. I could not see enough to even pull over!!!! I put my hazards on immediately and rear wiper Slowed down to get over 2 lanes to the berm of the road, could not see anything in front of me opened side windows a bit Went under a bridge to try to see where I was i saw that a few miles up the road was exit…. Crawled along the berm not being able to see until got to the exit… pulled in gas station… checked fuses all fine Bought rain x to put on the window to get me home Rain had slowed down enough got me home

The wiper motor has stopped working. The wipers do no move when turned on. This is dangerous because it is impossible to drive the car when it is raining if the wipers are not working. Visibility is greatly impaired during a storm if the wipers are not effectively able to disperse the rainwater off of the windshield. I have replaced the wiper motor multiple times and the issue continues to occur.

Driving on 2 lane country road. It started raining and progressively started raining heavily. I had my wipers first on low then a notch up, then up again. Then on to high with the heavier rain. After a couple of swipes, a pop and my wipers stopped in the farthest upright position. Luckily there wasn't a lot of traffic and I was able to pull over. I was 6 miles from a nearby town so I was able to put my flashers on and drive 20 mph and kept pulling over for traffic to pass me. I have now learned this is a safety issue that was recalled on the 2013 they tried to enforce it from 2010 to 2016 models which was not accepted but they did say it is now a special coverage but I do have to get it into a GMC dealership for them to do that. GMC should allow any dealership or private individual to be able to diagnose this and then still have that reimbursement to that individual for the part and their labo. It's ridiculous that now we have to have it taken to a GMC dealership and stuck in line to get this taken care of.

1. The component that malfunctioned was the wiper transmission and it is available for inspection upon request. 2. A thunderstorm came while driving in the vehicle. The windshield wipers were turned on and by the third rotation the wiper just stopped. It was a heavy rain and there was no visibility. The hazard lights were put on and the vehicle was slowly driven to the side of the street, where it was safe to wait. Other vehicles blew horns and gave quick flashes high beams as the vehicle was driven to the side of the street where it was safe. There the hazard lights were on and the wipers did not work. There could have been an accident because the wipers malfunctioned.

During rain storm with wipers going, wiper blades became disconnected from wiper motor resulting in complete failure of windshield wiper function.

My wife was driving home at night from school when a thunder shower popped up. She tried her windshield wipers and they did not work. It was a very serious situation as she was driving on rural roads with no place to pull over. It sounds like the wipers become disconnected from the motor somehow as you can hear it running. I have seen on another site that this seems to be a common problem with these vehicles and should be recalled as it happens suddenly and could cause injury.

During heavy storm front windshield wipers stopped working. Windshield wiper motor still functioning as when i moved the wipers to see if the were stuck i can still hear the motor. Busy road speed limit 55 mph 2 lane county road with frequent hills. Turned on emergency flashers and luckily had a passenger to assist guiding me to the first driveway about .5 miles ahead so i could wait for rain to stop.

DATE 12/31/20 7:25AM LEXINGTON KY I HAD JUST LEFT WORK AND WAS HEADING HOME NORTHBOUND ON I-75 TOWARD GEORGETOWN EXIT #125 DURING A HEAVY RAIN. I CAN NOT RECALL USING MY MAX WIPER INTERVAL SPEED BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THREE LANES WITH A SPEED AROUND 50MPH AND MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING! I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY TRANSITION LANES TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. ONCE THE RAIN SUBDUED SOME, I WAS ABLE TO EVALUATE THE ISSUE. I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR OPERATING BUT THE WIPERS WERE NOT MOVING. I COULD MANUALLY MOVE THE WIPERS FREELY WITH EASE; THEREFORE MOVED THEM DOWN FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT AN ACCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR! EXTREMELY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, IT BEGINS TO RAIN, I ENABLE THE WHIPERS TO ASSIST WITH CLEARING THE WINDOW. THIS WORKS FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN ALL OF SUDDEN WHIPERS QUIT WORKING WHILE IN MOTION IN THE RAIN. THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE CAUSING AN IMPAIRMENT TO VISIBILITY

Mileage: 117,600

WIPER HAVE QUIT WORKING. IT APPEARS TO BE A LINKAGE ISSUE. NOTICED WHEN IT STARTED RAINING AS WE WERE DRIVING HOME. WE WERE FAIRLY CLOSE TO HOME AND MADE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TERRAIN

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 GMC TERRAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF AROUND 65MPH DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM. ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY WIPERS BECAME FROZEN AND STOPPED MOVING BACK AND FORTH. BECAUSE THE WIPERS WERE NOT MOVING ANYMORE, RAIN WATER ACCUMULATED VERY QUICKLY AND I LOST VISIBILITY. I HAD TO MOVE OVER MULTIPLE LANES WITH ALMOST ZERO VISIBILITY TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE IN USE (MEDIUM SPEED SETTING) DURING A RAIN STORM. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO PULL OVER DUE TO LOSS OF VISIBILITY. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE WIPER MOTOR APPEARS TO HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED.

Mileage: 58,000

DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN ON JULY 12, THE WIPERS WERE ON HIGH SETTING AND QUIT WORKING. THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK ON ANY SETTING. THE REAR HATCH WIPER WORKS SO THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE CONTROL. IT APPEARS THE WIPERS STRIPPED OR BROKE LOOSE IN THE MECHANISM THAT MOVES THE WIPERS BACK AND FORTH ON THE WINDSHIELD.

Mileage: 105,250

IN MOTION DURING A THUNDERSTORM, THE WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS PREGNANT AND I HAD IT REPAIRED. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW DAYS AGO WITH MY BABY IN THE CAR, SAME SITUATION DURING A THUNDERSTORM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS. YOU CAN HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR RUNNING BUT SOMETHING APPARENTLY HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED PREVENTING THEM FROM MOVING.

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. WHILE DRIVING. IN THE RAIN. I JUST DROVE 20 MILES HOME HAVING TO PULL OVER WHEN I COULDN'T SEE ENOUGH OF THE ROAD, INCLUDING A 12 MILE TREK DOWN THE NJ TURNPIKE "DRIVING" BY FOLLOWING THE 2 WHITE LANE LINES IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT, AND A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH CONFIRMS THE NUMBER OF CONSUMERS HAVING EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE CLEARLY INDICATES THIS IS NOT A RANDOM FLUKE, IT IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT. INTERNET SEARCH ALSO INDICATES CANADA FORCED GMC TO ISSUE A RECALL--WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA FORCED GMC TO RECALL IN THE USA??? EXACTLY HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO DIE BEFORE TAKING ACTION? WE ALL KNOW GM, THE BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION THAT TAXPAYERS BAILED OUT, WILL NEVER REACH INTO ITS BOTTOM LINE TO PROTECT CONSUMERS. AND IS SPECIFICALLY WHY A FEDERAL AGENCY SUCH AS THE NHTSA EXISTS--TO PROTECT CITIZENS WHEN CORPORATIONS FAIL TO. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO ACT NOW AND FORCE GMC TO ISSUE A PUBLIC RECALL. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A CROWDED FREEWAY AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE AND UNEXPECTED TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR. TRAFFIC SLOWED TO ABOUT 60 AND I PUT MY WIPERS ON HIGHEST SPEED. VISIBILITY WAS STILL TERRIBLE. AS I DROVE, THE WIPERS MADE A SUDDEN MOVE TO THE LEFT AND STOPPED. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING, BUT WAS STILL TRAVELING WITH A PACK OF TRAFFIC. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY, BUT DID NOT HAVE MUCH SPACE BETWEEN ME AND THE TRUCKS WHO WERE PASSING CLOSE TO ME, PROBABLY BECAUSE MY CAR COULDN'T BE SEEN BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY RAIN AND BECAUSE I WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL. I SAT THERE, HAVING THE CAR SHAKE AND MOVE WHILE BEING PASSED BY TRUCKS. WHEN THE RAIN SLOWED, I KNEW I NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THAT SPOT AND OFF THE FREEWAY. I DROVE A FEW MILES IN THE RAIN, WHILE HOLDING MY LEFT HAND OUT THE WINDOW AND MANUALLY MOVING THE WIPERS BACK AND FORTH FOR THE FEW INCHES THAT I COULD REACH. I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND TRAVELED VERY SLOWLY TO THE NEXT EXIT. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE WIPER ASSEMBLY HAD BROKEN APART. I CHECKED INTO THIS AND SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING. I FEEL IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO PEOPLE NUMEROUS TIMES, EVEN AFTER REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT. I CAN'T BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE HELPLESS FEELING OF BEING IN A PACK OF TRAFFIC THAT IS TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED AND NOT BEING ABLE TO EVEN SEE THE FRONT OF MY OWN CAR. THIS COULD HAVE HAD A TERRIBLE OUTCOME. *TR

ON MAY 17TH, 2020 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 60+ MILES PER HOUR AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON AS IT WAS RAINING OUTSIDE WHEN THEN JUST STOPPED WORKING. THE WIPER BLADES STAYED UP IN THE VERTICAL POSITION AND RAIN WAS BUILDING ON MY WINDSHIELD. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND DID NOT CRASH MY VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO EASILY PUSH THE BLADES DOWN HOWEVER COULD NOT DRIVE AGAIN UNTIL THE RAIN SUBSIDED AS THE WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I CHECKED THE FUSE FOR THE FRONT WIPER BLADES AND IT WAS IN TACT AND WAS NOT BLOWN. IN READING ABOUT WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE WITH THE VEHICLE IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH IT BEING AN ISSUE WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE SYSTEM NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS, THANKFULLY IT WAS ONLY ME IN THE CAR BUT HAD I HAD AN ACCIDENT, IT COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY HURT OTHERS IN A CAR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT CLEARLY COULD KILL SOMEONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60-70 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROYAL BUICK GMC (3010 COLUMBIANA RD A, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35216) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,070. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS IN LIGHT RAIN FOR MY ELDERLY PARENTS (82 AND 86), THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. SINCE THEY HALTED IN A VERTICAL POSITION, ONE BLADE INTERFERED WITH DRIVER VISIBILITY. BEING A FEW MILES FROM THE FOLK'S HOME, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THERE. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN HAZARDOUS IF THE RAIN WAS HEAVIER. THE FUSE AFFECTING THE FRONT WIPERS WAS NOT 'BLOWN' OR DAMAGED. EVEN WITH A NEW REPLACEMENT FUSE, THE MOTOR ACTIVATED BUT THE WIPER ARMS REMAINED STILL. SINCE I LIVE OVER 3 HOURS AWAY, I VERIFIED NO RAIN WAS PREDICTED FOR THE RETURN TRAVEL DAY DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS.

WHILE DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT DURING PERIODS OF INTENSE RAINFALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS. ONCE AT NIGHT DURING HEAVY RAINFALL WITH THE WIPERS AT A HIGH CONTINUOUS SETTING ON A TOWNSHIP ROAD WITH NO LINES. ON THE OTHER OCCASION I WAS DRIVING ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY DURING DAYTIMEWITH LIGHT RAINFALL WITH THE WIPERS ON THE INTERMITTENT SETTING. THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM IN WHICH A PLASTIC GROMMET DEFORMS ALLOWING IT TO FALL FROM A STEEL BALL WHICH IS PART OF THE LINK WHICH CONNECTS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR TO THE 'TRANSMISSION' THAT POWERS BOTH WIPERS.

ISSUE # 1-THE WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING DURING A RAIN STORM AND WERE STUCK MIDWAY ON THE WINDSHIELD RIGHT IN MY SITE LINE WHILE ON O LONG 9 HOUR TRIP. I CHECKED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AREA AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE AREA. THE TURNED ON THE WIPER CONTROL INSIDE THE CAR AND COULD HEAR THE MOTOR BUT NO VIPER MOVEMENT OCCURRED. THE CONTROL UNIT FOR THE WIPERS SEEMED TO BE INACCESSIBLE AS THERE IS A LARGE SEALED HOUSING OVER THE AREA COVERING THE WIPER MOTOR SO I WAS UNABLE TO ACCESS OR TRY TO REPAIR MYSELF. I WAITED OUT THE STORM AND RESEARCHED TO FIND THAT THE 2013 MODEL TERRAIN HAD A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE IN THE UNITED STATES AND THAT MY MODEL YEAR CAR OF 2015 HAS HAD THE SAME RECALL IN CANADA ONLY EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED REPORTED CASES IN THE US PER CONSUMER REPORTS. MY HOPE IS A RECALL FOR FULL REPAIR OF THE ISSUE WILL OCCUR IMMEDIATELY IN THE US AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH SHOULD THIS DEFECT NOT BE RECALLED FOR REPAIR. ISSUE #2- THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY 2015 TERRAIN WILL LIE HAVE TO REPLACED FOR THE 3RD TIME IN A 4 MONTH PERIOD. THE BREAKS SHAKE AND SHIMMY THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY ARE APPLIED CAUSING INEFFECTIVE BREAKING. BOTH THE BREAK PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED TWICE AND THE LEFT FROM WHEEL BEARING HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED WITH THE 2ND WHEEL BEARING NEEDING REPLACEMENT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. THESES REPAIRS ALONE HAVE COST ME $1300. THE AUTO SHOP DID COVER THE 2ND BRAKE AND ROTOR REPAIR AND WILL FIND OUT SHORTLY IF THEY WILL COVER THE 3RD REPAIR. THIS IS ANOTHER CRUCIAL SAFETY ISSUE FOR THIS CAR THAT IS A VITAL PART OF MY DAILY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. MY HOPE IS YOU WILL TAKE BOTH THESE SAFETY ISSUE SERIOUS AND ISSUE RECALLS.

I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR AND AVOID CARS WHICH I COULD BARELY SEE. THIS WAS EXTREMELY TERRIFYING AND MADE ME SO VERY ANXIOUS. I ALMOST WRECKED TWICE SIMPLY BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!!!!!!! AND I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH FROM DOWNTOWN HOUSTON IN POURING RAIN. AT THE 610/225 JUNCTION THE FRONT WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. HE CHECKED THE FUSE AND THEN CHECKED THE WIPER MOTOR, WHICH HE COULD HEAR WORKING. UPON RESEARCHING HE FOUND THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PLASTIC BUSHINGS BREAKING ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION. UNFORTUNATELY YOU CAN'T REPLACE JUST THE BUSHINGS, THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED.THE PART IS $86.00 + TAX IF YOU ARE ABLE TO DO IT YOURSELF, OTHERWISE IT WILL BE OVER $300.00 AT THE DEALER.WE FEEL VERY BLESSED THAT IT WAS MY HUSBAND DRIVING AND NOT OUR DAUGHTER AS THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE A VERY DIFFERENT POST. I AM CURIOUS AS TO HOW MANY OF THE VEHICLE WRECKS IN BAD WEATHER INVOLVING GM VEHICLES WHERE SOMEONE WAS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED MAY HAVE BEEN BECAUSE THE WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. GM US NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL AND FOLLOW CANADA'S LEAD IN ISSUING A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE KILLED.

I HAD JUST PURCHASED A WEEK AGO. 71,000 MILES ON IT. WAS DRIVING TO MEMPHIS TN AT NIGHT IN A RAINSTORM. THE WIPERS WERE SET TO HIGH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING. I NARROWLY A AVOIDED A CRASH AND MADE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS AND SEE THAT CANADA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS!! PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!

Mileage: 72,000

WHILE DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, LEAVING ME VULNERABLE TO A POSSIBLE FATALITY AS I COULD NOT SEE. I HAD NO PREVIOUS INDICATION THAT THIS WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR. SERVICE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION INSIDE THE MOTOR OF THE WIPERS HAD FAILED. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. MY VEHICLE HAS UNDER 60,000 MILES AS OF THIS DATE, THEREFORE I DISAGREE WITH THE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR REASONING. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT USED DAILY AND AT EVERY START OF USAGE, UNLIKE A STARTER OR BRAKE USAGE, ETC.. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE VEHICLE. NO WARRANTY ON SUCH PRODUCT AND NO RECALL. IT COST ME OVER $400 TO REPAIR. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY STATED THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE HAD BEEN NOTED AND ONLY RECALLED IN CANADA, BUT NOT THE U.S. I REITERATED THAT THIS OCCURRENCE JUST NOW HAPPENED TO ME AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A FATALITY CAN ENSUE. GENERAL MOTORS OFFERED ME NO RESOLUTION.

Mileage: 57,399

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH IN THE RAIN. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON MEDIUM SPEED SETTING. WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED MOVING AND WERE STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THIS CREATED A VISIBILITY HAZARD IN THE RAIN. WIPER MOTOR COULD STILL BE HEARD HOWEVER NO MOVEMENT AT ALL OF WIPERS. FURTHER INSPECTION LATER REVEALED BROKEN WIPER LINKAGE.

I OWN A 2015 GMC TERRAIN SLT AWD THAT I PURCHASED IN 2015 WITH 1000 MILES ON IT. WHILE I WAS TRAVELING BY MYSELF (SINGLE WOMAN) ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY FREQUENTED BY SEMI-TRUCKS FROM ORLANDO, FL HEADED TO JACKSONVILLE, FL AT 9:30PM. AT ABOUT OVER AN HOUR AND A HALF OUT OF JACKSONVILLE, ON A DARK STRETCH OF THE HIGHWAY A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR, BEGAN COMMON FOR FLORIDA ESPECIALLY DURING HURRICANE SEASON. WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING MID-WIPE STOPPED IN THE LEFT CORNER OF MY WINDSHIELD. I WAS SURROUNDED BY SEMITRUCKS BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. HOWEVER, I WAS EXTREMELY HESITANT BECAUSE, IT WAS DARK AND I COULD NOT SEE ANY OBSTRUCTIONS SUCH AS STALLED VEHICLES OR STALLED SEMI-TRUCKS OR ROAD HAZARDS UNLESS I WAS ON TOP OF OBJECT. INCIDENT OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2019.

WHILE DRIVING THRU A ROUND ABOUT GOING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH IN TRAFFIC MY WIPER SUDDENLY STOP WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS WAS IN A HEAVY RAIN AND MY VISIBILITY WENT TO ZERO. I MANAGED TO SLOW AND PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AFTER NAVIGATING THE ROUNDABOUT. MY WIPER LINKAGE WAS CORRODED THE MOTOR WAS FUNCTIONAL AFTER INSPECTION

Mileage: 60,000

I WAS DRIVING ON RT 1 SOUTH IN A RAIN STORM AT NIGHT, DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH, PUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON FULL AND THE WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND PULL INTO A GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE WIPERS BUT THE WIPERS WOULD NOT START WORKING. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS I COULD NOT SEE IN THE RAIN AND NEEDED TO HAVE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. AAA TOWED MY TERRAIN TO THE COLEMAN'S DEALERSHIP IN LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ AS AAA SAID IT WAS A SAFELY ISSUE SO THEY COULD NOT TOW TO A RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHER 2015 TERRAIN OWNERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE (CANADA HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE). THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND MANIFESTS DURING POOR DRIVING CONDITIONS (HEAVY RAIN & USUALLY ON A HIGHWAY). IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR THERE IS A FATALITY DUE TO HAVING ZERO VISIBILITY ON A HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN.

Mileage: 89,000

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT DURING A THUNDERSTORM WITH EXTREMLY LOW VISIBILITY WHEN, WITHOUT NOTICE, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. I HAD TO INCH MY WAY TO SAFETY TO AVOID BEING HIT. THE WIPERS WILL NOT COME ON, BUT A HUMMING SOUND IS DETECTABLE. THE REPAIR SHOP SPECULATES THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE MOTOR.

Mileage: 73,775

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ONCE THE RAIN DISSIPATED, THE CONTACT DROVE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BALL JOINTS CONNECTED TO THE WIPERS WERE DISJOINTED. THE WIPERS WERE REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

Mileage: 78,000

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I ALREADY HAD MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING AND TURNED THEM UP HIGHER, THE WIPER WENT TOO FAR OVER MY WINDSHIELD AND GOT CAUGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MY CAR. PUT IT BACK INTO PLACE BUT WASN'T MOVING. MULTIPLE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS LATER THEY MOVE AGAIN. THEY WIPERS WERE PUT ON PROPERLY AND HAD BEEN FINE FOR MONTHS PRIOR ON THE LOWER SETTING, SO THIS HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ERROR, I HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

Mileage: 50,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO A SAFE LOCATION AND TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE VIA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT CALLED RAY SKILLMAN HOOSIER FORD AT (765-342-3673, LOCATED AT 333 ROBERT CURRY DR, MARTINSVILLE, IN 46151) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

Mileage: 90,000

DRIVING HOME AND WIPERS COMPLETELEY WENT OUT IN THE RAIN AND PULLED OVER TO AVOID ACCIDENT UNTIL IT STOPPED RAINING, WAS TERRIFIED THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN. THEY NEVER FIXED THIS PROBLEM IN EARLIER YEARS AND RECALLED THE TERRAIN IN CANADA BUT NOT USA.

I WAS DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM WITH MY FAMILY ON A COUNTY ROAD AND OUR WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND FROZE. WITH THE DOWNPOUR, THERE WAS NO VISIBILITY TO CONTINUE DRIVING. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ALTHOUGH IT WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD. ONCOMING TRAFFIC MADE THE EXPERIENCE VERY STRESSFUL AND AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE EASILY OCCURRED. WE WAITED UNTIL THE RAIN SUBSIDED AND MADE IT TO A CAR REPAIR PLACE. THEY SAID IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY THE FAULTY WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE THAT CAUSED IT TO MALFUNCTION. OUR CAR ENGINE WAS RUNNING FINE, BUT ONLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE NOT WORKING. THIS INCIDENT AND THE POTENTIAL DANGER IT PLACED US WAS AS STRESSFUL AND CAUSED AS MUCH ANXIETY AS ACTUALLY HAVING AN ACCIDENT. HAD THE RAIN NOT STOPPED, WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EVEN DRIVE BACK HOME.

WIPER TRANSMISSION BUSHING FAILURE WHILE DRIVING IN RAINSTORM LEAVING ME WITH NO WIPERS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED IN CANADA ONLY.

Mileage: 120,000

MY WIFE CALLED ME DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM, THE WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING HOME. SHE PULLED OVER INTO SOMEBODY'S DRIVEWAY. THE FUSE WAS FINE AND YOU COULD HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR RUNNING. I (CAREFULLY) DROVE HER CAR HOME, WITH HER IN FRONT OF ME DRIVING MY TRUCK, STOPPING OCCASIONALLY TO LET CARS PASS AND TO MANUALLY WIPE THE WINDSHIELD. TURNS OUT THE PLASTIC BUSHING HOLDING THE WIPER LINKAGE TOGETHER WAS WORN AND POPPED OUT OF PLACE. I BOUGHT A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLED IT THAT NIGHT.

Mileage: 40,000

THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK ON 95 NORTH BOUND AND MY WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING. I WAS DOING ABOUT 65-70 MPH AND IT WAS POURING RAIN OUT AND I COULD BARELY SEE IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS DEFINITELY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO KEEP DRIVING BUT I HAD TO GET TO WORK SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE FOR ANOTHER 25 MILES WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY. I HAVE DONE LITTLE RESEARCH SO FAR BUT I DO BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LINKAGE IN THE WIPER BLADE ASSEMBLY. ANYWAYS THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECTIFIED AND MADE KNOWN TO OTHER GMC TERRAIN OWNER BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR EVEN KILLED!

Mileage: 60,540

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE IN FLORDIA ON VACATION, IN A RAIN STORM OUR WIPERS QUIT WORKING... MY KIDS AND FAMILY WERE IN THE CAR. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I HAD TO HANG OUT THE WINDOW TO STOP TRAFFIC FROM PASSING US SO WE COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER. WE THEN HAD TO WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO STOP SO WE COULD MAKE OUR WAY TO THE NEXT EXIT. WE GOT OFF THE EXIT AND MADE IT TO A GAS STATION AND A MECHANIC HAPPENED TO BE THERE AND HELPED US FIGURE IT OUT. WE THAN HAD TO DRIVE TO THE NEXT EXIT TO THE PARTS STORE TO GET THE PART AND FIX IT. THE BALL JOINT NO LONGER STAYS IN THE BUSHING ON THE ARM. TWO WEEKS LATER THE OTHER BUSHING DID THE SAME THING AND THEY STOPPED WORKING AGAIN.. CANADA HAS ISSUED A RECALL ALREADY ON THIS PART BACK IN 2016 & 2018... RECALL NUMBER 2016318 AND 2018137.. WHY WOULD CANADA ISSUE A RECALL BUT NOT THE UNITED STATES!!!! ABSURD!!!

Mileage: 82,000

THE CAR WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ON I-77N IN OHIO DURING HEAVY RAIN. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING AT ALL AND GOT STUCK IN A HYPER-EXTENDED "UP" POSITION. THIS CAUSED IMMEDIATE "BLINDNESS" TO THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN SLOWLY TO THE SHOULDER, WHERE I GOT OUT AND INSPECTED THE WIPERS. I COULD PUSH THEM MANUALLY, BUT THERE WAS NO MOTORIZED CONTROL WHATSOEVER. UPON GETTING A TOW HOME BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY TO SAFELY DRIVE IN THE HEAVY RAIN WITH NO WIPERS (AN ORDEAL THAT TOOK UPWARDS OF FOUR HOURS), I FOUND THAT THE CHINTZY PLASTIC WIPER ARM LINKAGE BUSHINGS HAD WORN OUT AND COME OFF OF THE BEARING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AND HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE. THE BUSHING THAT LITERALLY DICTATES WHETHER YOU WILL SEE OR NOT WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN IS MADE OF A CHEAP PLASTIC THAT BROKE AFTER FOUR YEARS OF USE. FOUR YEARS. WE WERE TRAVELING AT 70MPH IN POURING RAIN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. WE LOST ALL VISIBILITY IN AN INSTANT. WE COULD HAVE DIED. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

Mileage: 100,000

THE PLASTIC BUSHINGS USED IN THE WIPER LINKAGE ASSEMBLY ARE POOR QUALITY AND REGULAR USE WEAKENS THEM OR THEY BECOME CORRODED. THE BUSHING CONNECTING THE WIPER TRANSMISSION TO THE REST OF LINKAGE ASSEMBLY DETACHED FROM ITSELF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DURING A SNOW STORM CAUSING MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO STOP WORKING COMPLETELY, LEAVING ME WITH NO VISIBILITY. THE CAR HAD TO STAY PARKED WHERE IT WAS UNTIL THE WEATHER CLEARED.

Mileage: 61,000

ON 02/19/19, WHILE TRAVELING ON THE PA TURNPIKE, I TURNED MY WINSHIELD WIPERS ON, ONLY TO HAVE THEM COME UP 3/4 OF THE WAY ON MY WINDHIELD AND STOP. SUBSEQUENTLY, MY WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THANKFULLY, THERE WAS ONLY A SLIGHT RAIN, AND NOT CONTINUOUS RAIN OR SNOW FALLING AT THE TIME, OR THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS CRASH. I HAD THE WIPER ASSEMBLY REPLACED SAME DATE, $259.678, FOR LABOR AND PARTS AT A GM DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT A RECALL AT THIS TIME AND WAS NOT COVERED. MY 2015 GMC TERRAIN HAD APPROX. 75,000 MILES ON AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. THIS INCIDENT RESULTED FROM CORROSION TO THE WIPER ASSEMBLY, INVOLVING CORROSION TO A TRANSMISSION BALL JOINT, WHICH IS GM RECALL ON PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS, AND IS ALSO A CURRENT GM RECALL IN CANADA ONLY FOR THIS YEAR, HOWEVER, US MODELS ARE NOT. THE BALL JOINT SEPARATED DUE TO CORROSION AND CAUSES COMPLETE FAILURE TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM. GM IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON MAKING THIS A US SAFETY RECALL AS CANADA HAS IT FOR THE 2010-2017 YEARS.

Mileage: 75,000

FOR THE FOURTH TIME MY WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY IN A RAINSTORM. THE ARM BAR HAS POPPED OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THE JOINTS THAT CLIP INTO THE WIPERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR THE PAST YEAR. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

Mileage: 102,000

WE HAVE A 2015 GMC TERRAIN THAT HAS 43000 MILES ON IT AND GOT IT IN MAY OF 2018. ON FRIDAY JANUARY 4TH MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR TERRAIN ON INTERSTATE 485 IN CHARLOTTE AT MORNING RUSH HOUR HEADED TO WORK. SHE WAS IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE HIGH TRAVELING ABOUT 65 MPH IN A STEADY DOWNPOUR WITH VEHICLES BESIDE HER. AT THAT TIME SHE HAD THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN WITH OUT WARNING THEY FROZE IN POSITION AND STOPPED WORKING. SHE WAS UNABLE TO WIPE THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT ALMOST POSSIBLE TO SEE. LUCKILY SHE DID NOT HAVE ANY CARS BEHIND HER AND SHE WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH AND TURN ON THE 4 WAYS AND RIDE THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY TO COME TO A STOP. SHE THEN CALLED ME AND TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED WHILE TALKING TO ME THE RAIN SUBSIDED ENOUGH THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT LANE AND OFF TO THE EXIT ABOUT 2 MILES UP. SHE GOT OFF THERE AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK. IT STOPPED RAINING THAT DAY AND WAS CLEAR AND I RESEARCHED ON WHT MAY HAVE HAPPENED OR ANY RECALLS. I CAME ACROSS STORIES OF THE WIPER BLADE FAILURE IN THE 2013 GMC TERRAIN 2014 AND 2015 ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. GMC HAS RECALLED THE ISSUE ON THE 2013 IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE 2015 MODEL IN CANADA BUT NOT THE USA. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR GMC DEALERSHIP THAT MONDAY AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ON THAT TUESDAY MORNING. WE DROPPED IT OFF AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN A PROGNOSTIC TEST EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS WRONG AND WHAT I WAS ALMOST POSITIVE WAS WRONG. LATER THAT DAY THE TECHNICIAN CALLED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION BROKE AT THE END OF THE SHAFT AND THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. FROM READING ABOUT THE RECALL AND THE SAME COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2015 TERRAIN I BELIEVED THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO THE 2015 VEHICLES AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING IN A SUDDEN RAINSTORM IN IOWA IN JUNE THE WIPERS ON MY 2015 GMC TERRAIN COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING ALMOST CAUSING US TO CRASH. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE BUSHINGS GOING OUT ON THE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND THERE IS EVEN A RECALL IN CANADA. WHY NOT THE US! A COUPLE OF MECHANICS HAVE ADVISED ME THAT IT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE IT HASN'T CAUSED A PROVEN FATALITY IN THE US, WELL, WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO DRIVE AROUND A 90 DEGREE TURN AT AROUND 50 MPH WITH A SUDDEN DROP OFF THAT GOES ABOUT 50 FEET DOWN NEXT TO THE ROAD. THE ONLY REASON WE DIDN'T WRECK IS BECAUSE I HAVE DRIVEN ON THE SAME ROAD MY ENTIRE LIFE (SINCE 14) FOR ABOUT 26 YEARS. ANYONE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE ROAD WOULD HAVE PROBABLY DROPPED OFF THE EDGE OR HIT ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THIS FIXED BY MECHANICS 3X SINCE, I THINK IT IS HOPEFULLY FINALLY REPAIRED. BOTH MECHANICS ADVISED THE ENGINEERS REALLY MESSED UP AND THEY HAVE SEEN LOTS OF THESE FROM 2010 GMCS/CHEVYS AND NEWER. GM NEEDS TO TAKE A NICE LONG LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THESE AND DO FOR THE US WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN CANADA. MY VEHICLE WAS MADE IN CANADA ACCORDING THE STICKER ON THE DOOR, AND I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IF I LIVED THERE THIS WOULD BE RECALLED. THIS ISSUE GREATLY IMPAIRS ONES ABILITY TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AND PEOPLE COULD LOSE LIVES OVER THIS. I WONDER HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND THE PERSON DID NOT LIVE TO TELL YOU THEIR STORY.

Mileage: 90,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000.

A BUSHING BROKE ON THE WIPER TRANSMISSION WHEN I NEEDED IT THE MOST SINCE IT WAS GOING TO BE RAINY FOR A FEW DAYS. I HAVE SEEN THE 2013 TERRAINS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY GM DID NOT GET IT RIGHT SINCE IT HAPPENED ON MY 2015. SHOULD YOU NEED MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS WITH MY EXPERIENCE AT THE DEALER AS WELL AS GM DIRECTLY, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY IN THE RAIN WHEN THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR, BUT THE BLADES WERE NOT MOVING. I TURNED AROUND AND THANKFULLY I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE. THE WIPER ARM LINKAGE BUSHING BROKE. IT IS A PLASTIC PART. I CANNOT BELIEVE A PLASTIC PART IS WHAT IS HOLDING THE LINKAGE TOGETHER. THIS IS DEFINITELY A POOR ASSEMBLY ON THE PART OF GM AND SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THERE IS NO WARNING OF FAILURE. WITH TODAY BEING A SUNDAY I UNABLE TO LOCATE REPAIR SHOPS IN THE AREA. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, ITS GOING TO RAIN ALL DAY.

DURING A SNOW STORM IN MARCH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING! LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME SAFELY SINCE I WAS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. I WENT TO UNION PARK AND GOT THE ISSUE FIXED FOR $110.00. I HAD TO PAY FOR IT SINCE UNION PARK TOLD ME I HAD 38,000 MILES ON MY LEASE AND THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 36,000. THEN DURING A RAIN STORM IN LATE JUNE MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN ON THE BLUE ROUTE. I PULLED OVER UNTIL IT STOPPED RAINING AND MADE IT HOME SAFELY. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO SEARS AUTOMOTIVE WHERE THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT TOUCH IT BECAUSE THIS PART WAS RECALLED BY GMC. THE SUBJECT OF THE ALLDATA REPAIR SITE STATES '#15789- WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILURE (OCT 26, 2015)' IN AUGUST OF 2016 GMC RECALLED 368,000 GMC TERRAIN AND CHEVY EQUINOX SOLD IN 2013 DUE TO FAULTY WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE DEFECT IN THE 2013 MODELS WERE NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL LATE 2015, AND I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN APRIL OF 2015, LEADING ME TO SUGGEST THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED IN MY MODEL. THE ALLDATA REPAIR REPORT GIVEN TO ME BY SEARS AUTO STATS THAT A SIMILAR RECALL WAS MADE ON OCT 26 OF 2015. I TOOK THIS INFORMATION TO UNION PARK SERVICE CENTER AND THE ASSISTANT SERVICE DIRECTOR JAMES ASKREN REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE DATA REPORT FROM SEARS AND STATED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I TOLD HIM TO JUST CHARGE ME AND WE WILL HAVE THE COURTS DECIDE WHO IS LIABLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS HE REFUSED TO FIX THE CAR, LEAVING ME WITH A CAR THAT HAS NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS UNTIL HIS CALLED ME ON MONDAY. NO OTHER REPAIR CENTER WILL LOOK AT MY CAR SINCE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND GMC WON'T TOUCH MY CAR BECAUSE I THREATENED LEGAL ACTION. I AM FORCED TO RENT A CAR TO GET TO AND FROM WORK WHILE GMC REFUSES TO FIX MY CAR.

IF WE USE ANY CLIMATE CONTROL SETTING BEFORE USING THE DEFROSTER, THEN TRY TO USE THE DEFROSTER, IT WILL ONLY BLOW COOL AIR. IF WE CHANGE THE SETTING TO VENT, HEAT OR A/C, WARM AIR WILL BLOW, BUT SWITCH IT BACK TO DEFROST AND ONLY COOL AIR BLOWS FROM IT. WE COULD NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD OF FOG IN A WARM RAIN WITHOUT TURNING THE DEFROSTER ALL THE WAY TO HOT (95 DEGREES). AS THIS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER, IT WAS UNBEARABLY HOT IN THE CAR TRYING TO DRIVE. TOOK THE CAR TO 2 SERVICE DEPARTMENTS MULTIPLE TIMES, NO CODE SHOWS, SO NO FIX FOR THIS. WE ARE SENT BACK HOME WITH CAR AS IT IS. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED JUST AFTER BUYING THE CAR IN JULY 2015, AND CONTINUES TODAY.

SEPT. 30, 2015 WE BOUGHT A 2015 GMC TERRAIN FROM BUICK GMC OF MAHWAH (NJ). THERE WAS 88 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AT NIGHT (IN DARKNESS) VISIBILITY IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE THRU THE BOTTOM SECTION OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS A DARK HORIZONTAL LINE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD AT APPROXIMATELY THE HALF WAY POINT. IT IS BLACK ABOVE THE LINE-NO VISIBILITY TO THE OUTSIDE ABOVE THE LINE. YOU CAN NOT SEE A SAFE DISTANCE DOWN THE ROAD AS VISIBILITY IS RESTRICTED. TELEPHONE POLES, TREES, OBJECTS, SIDE ROADS, DEER, OBSTACLES, SIGNS ETC ARE NOT VISIBLE THRU THE WINDSHIELD'S TOP HALF. WE DROVE IT THE FIRST TIME AT NIGHT OCT. 8. I WAS THE DRIVER, MY HUSBAND PASSENGER. OUR SEATS WERE AT DIFFERENT POSITIONS. NEITHER MY HUSBAND NOR I COULD SEE OUT OF THE TOP HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE ROUTE TRAVELED CONSISTED OF UNLIGHTED PARKWAY AND SIDE ROAD DRIVING. ON DARK, NON ILLUMINATED ROADS WITH NO LIGHTS FROM OTHER VEHICLES AND STREET LIGHTS, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING ABOVE THE HORIZONTAL LINE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. WITH LOW BEAMS VISIBILITY WAS APPROXIMATELY 25-30 FEET FORWARD. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE ORIENTATION ABOVE THE HORIZONTAL LINE. IT WAS BLACK. HIGH BEAMS ALLOWED A LONGER VISUAL FIELD BUT STILL NO VISIBILITY ABOVE THE LINE OF THE WINDSHIELD CREATING A 'TUNNEL VISION' EFFECT. TRAVELING UP OR DOWN HILL WAS PARTICULARLY SCARY. VISIBILITY WAS RESTRICTED TO DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THE 25 MILE DRIVE WAS FRIGHTENING. THERE WAS NO VISIBILITY PROBLEM DURING DAYTIME DRIVING OR ON HIGHLY ILLUMINATED ROADS AT NIGHT. OCT. 9, 2015 (9 DAYS OF HAVING THE CAR) WITH 220 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, WE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER WITHOUT RESOLUTION. GM RESPONDED ALL TERRAINS ARE MANUFACTURED AS OURS AND COULD FIND NO PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND A HAZARD TO US AS WELL AS OTHERS. WE DO NOT WANT TO BECOME A GM STATISTIC.
