NHTSA Complaint #11331552 — 2016 GMC TERRAIN

WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN DURING A DOWNPOUR, THE WIPERS JUST STOPPED. AFTER WAITING OUT THE STORM, MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THAT THE ARM(HELD ON BY A SMALL, PLASTIC PIECE) HAD POPPED OFF ON ONE SIDE. HE WAS ABLE TO REATTACH IT, AND IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL AGAIN, WHILE TRAVELING DURING A RAINSTORM, THEY STOPPED AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES AND AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF ME AND HAD TO STOP IN TRAFFIC(WE WERE ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER). WE WERE TOLD BY A LOCAL DEALER THAT THE PARTS SHOULD BE REPLACED, BUT THAT THE ASSEMBLY HADN'T CHANGED AND IT WOULD KEEP HAPPENING. WE ALSO FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE.
