Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON RT 1 SOUTH IN A RAIN STORM AT NIGHT, DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH, PUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON FULL AND THE WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND PULL INTO A GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE WIPERS BUT THE WIPERS WOULD NOT START WORKING. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS I COULD NOT SEE IN THE RAIN AND NEEDED TO HAVE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. AAA TOWED MY TERRAIN TO THE COLEMAN'S DEALERSHIP IN LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ AS AAA SAID IT WAS A SAFELY ISSUE SO THEY COULD NOT TOW TO A RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHER 2015 TERRAIN OWNERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE (CANADA HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE). THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND MANIFESTS DURING POOR DRIVING CONDITIONS (HEAVY RAIN & USUALLY ON A HIGHWAY). IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR THERE IS A FATALITY DUE TO HAVING ZERO VISIBILITY ON A HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN.
