Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY SNOW IN VIRGINIA WHEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY FAILED AND I HAD 0 VISIBILITY. I ALMOST GOT INTO ACCIDENT BECAUSE SNOW ACCUMULATED THAT QUICKLY ON THE WINDSHIELD. UNTIL I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO STOP AND WAIT FOR HELP, I HAD MY DAUGHTER GET OUT OF THE CAR EVERY TIME I STOPPED TO MANUALLY CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD WITH HER HANDS. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP IN A PARKING LOT AND WAITED FOR A FRIEND TO COME PICK ME UP. RECALL 08091 THAT HUNDREDS OF GMC ACADIA OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SHOULD APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. *TR
