Consumer Description
7/18/16 WHILE DRIVING IN A DOWNPOUR TODAY ON A BUSY ROAD, THE WIPER LINKAGE BALL JOINT WHICH ATTACHES THE LINKAGE TO THE MOTOR FAILED. THIS MADE THE WIPERS STOP AND IMMEDIATELY ALL FORWARD VISIBILITY WAS OBSCURED. IT MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OFF WHILE SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO NOT HIT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING. THE PARTS STORES SELL AN ENTIRE NEW LINKAGE ASSEMBLY FOR AROUND $150. THE NYLON LINKAGE ASSEMBLY HANGS UPSIDE DOWN WHICH IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW IN THE GMC DESIGN AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO TO PREVENT TRAGEDY. RESPECTFULLY, LUCKY GUY
