NHTSA Complaint #10995863 — 2012 GMC TERRAIN

DRIVING AT 35 MILES AN HOUR ON A DOUBLE LANE HIGHWAY IN VERY HEAVY RAIN AT ABOUT 6:00 P.M.. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON HIGH TO CLEAR THE WATER FROM THE WINDSHIELD. WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY NAVIGATE MY CAR TO A PARKING LOT AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. LATER UPON INSPECTION THE BALL JOINT BECAME SEPARATED FROM THE SOCKET WHICH RENDERED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS USELESS. SEE ATTACHMENTS. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO GM AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN CANADA. "25300-03: SAFETY RECALL - FRONT WIPER TRANSMISSION CORROSION FAILURE (CANADA ONLY) - 2010-2017 CHEVROLET EQUINOX & GMC TERRAIN". I NOTIFIED GM ABOUT THIS AND THEY STATED THEY WILL NOTIFY ME IF THEY ISSUE A RECALL FOR MY VIN.
