Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR AND HAD MY WIPERS ON HIGH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY JUST STOPPED WORKING ALMOST CAUSING ME TO CRASH AND DIE. THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A FUSE PROBLEM BUT CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON A PLASTIC PIECE THAT BREAKS OFF ON THE 2013 GMC TERRAIN WHAT IS NOT RECALLED ON MY VEHICLE SO I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND IT WAS NOT CHEAP. CHECKING ONLINE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO THEM FOR THE 2012 MODEL TERRAIN AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY SO AS TO NOT CAUSE ANYBODY TO CRASH AND DIE.
