Consumer Description

On an extremely rainy day, the windshield wipers stopped working. My son was driving the car, and his safety was extremely compromised. He could not see out the windshield at all, and he was lucky that he was in a position to get to the side of the road without incident. If he were on a highway, it would have been extremely dangerous. This occurred on July 8th, 2021. There were no warnings that precipitated the problem. The wipers were working fine. We went to our mechanic who had to replace the entire windshield wiper mechanism due to corroded joints. We paid approximately $260. The mechanic said this is a very common problem with GM wipers. We did not keep the damaged part... we did not know that this was a safety issue with other model GMC Terrains until today. Clearly, it is a widespread problem, and there should be a recall, as this is extremely dangerous
