Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING IN A HEAVY RAIN STORM ACROSS A LONG THREE LANE BRIDGE WHEN MY WIPER SYSTEM FAILED. DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF WIND, RAIN AND TRAFFIC ROAD SPRAY, I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD OR VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. I HAD ZERO VISIBILITY. MIRACULOUSLY, I MADE IT SAFELY ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND OFF THE SHOULDER INTO A GRASSY AREA. THE DEALERSHIP THAT MADE THE REPAIR TOLD ME THAT GM COVERED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE WIPER ASSEMBLY BECAUSE THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS DEFECT, BUT HAVEN'T ISSUED A PUBLIC RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE CONTINUED ANXIETY ISSUES WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND ACROSS LONG BRIDGES. PLEASE MAKE THIS A PUBLIC RECALL. THANK YOU
