NHTSA Complaint #10910861 — 2012 GMC TERRAIN

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN THIS PAST THURSDAY MORNING DURING RUSH HOUR. I WAS TRAVELING ON I 96 IN DETROIT AND WAS PROBABLY GOING 60 MPH WHICH IS 10 MPH BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WHICH WERE ON HIGH DUE TO THE VERY HEAVY RAIN, CEASED TO WORK LEAVING ME IN AN EXTREAMLY DANGEROUS POSITION. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE AND WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I SLOWED MY SPEED, TURNED ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND MOVED TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER SAFELY, THANKFULLY. I CALLED ROAD SERVICE TO GET A TOW AND HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A LOCAL GAS STATION. THE MECHANIC SAID I NEEDED A NEW WIPER MODULE WHICH COST ME $260. I FOUND A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR 2013 GMC TERRAINS, NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-582, MANUFACTURER RECALL NO:25302. I FEEL THEY SHOULD LOOK INTO INCLUDING EARLIER MODELS.
