NHTSA Complaint #11099130 — 2010 GMC TERRAIN

WHILE DRIVING DURING TROPICAL STORM ALBERTO THE WIPERS ON MY 2010 GMC TERRAIN SLT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING ALMOST CAUSING US TO CRASH. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE BUSHINGS GOING OUT ON THE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND THERE IS EVEN A RECALL IN CANADA. WHY NOT USA?!?! TO ADD TO THE PROBLEM YOU CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE BUSHINGS, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE LINKAGE WHICH IS $125! SINCE WE DO NOT WANT TO PAY LABOR COSTS WE ARE TRYING TO REPLACE THE LINKAGE OURSELF. WHAT A NIGHTMARE THIS HAS BEEN. GM NEEDS TO TAKE A NICE LONG LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THESE AND DO FOR THE US WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR CANADA. VERY DISAPPOINTED. THIS ISSUE GREATLY IMPAIRS ONES ABILITY TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AND PEOPLE COULD LOSE LIVES OVER THIS. I WONDER HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND THE PERSON DID NOT LIVE TO TELL YOU THEIR STORY. GM SAVE LIVES AND RECALL THE WIPER LINKAGE ON ALL YEARS OF TERRAINS IN THE USA!!!
