NHTSA Complaint #11361666 — 2014 GMC TERRAIN

WHEN I LEFT WORK YESTERDAY EVENING IT WAS DARK AND RAINING OUTSIDE, AND NATURALLY, I TURNED ON MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS. ABOUT FIVE MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE HOME, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING AHEAD OF ME, BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING PRETTY HARD AT THAT POINT AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DARK ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE APPROACHING PRETTY FAST. I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON, AND CROSSED THREE LANES TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAITED, APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FOR THE RAIN TO STOP, BUT IT NEVER DID. I WAS ABOUT 1/2 MILE AWAY FROM MY EXIT, SO I INCHED MY WAY THERE, WHILE DRIVING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I MADE IT TO A NEARBY GAS STATION AND WAITED AN HOUR FOR THE RAIN TO DIE DOWN. I DROVE BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES, USING THEIR REAR LIGHTS AS MY VISUAL GUIDE IN ORDER TO MAKE IT HOME. MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS NEVER TURNED BACK ON. IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO FATALITIES AS A RESULT OF MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONING.
