NHTSA Complaint #11429126 — 2015 GMC TERRAIN

Driving on 2 lane country road. It started raining and progressively started raining heavily. I had my wipers first on low then a notch up, then up again. Then on to high with the heavier rain. After a couple of swipes, a pop and my wipers stopped in the farthest upright position. Luckily there wasn't a lot of traffic and I was able to pull over. I was 6 miles from a nearby town so I was able to put my flashers on and drive 20 mph and kept pulling over for traffic to pass me. I have now learned this is a safety issue that was recalled on the 2013 they tried to enforce it from 2010 to 2016 models which was not accepted but they did say it is now a special coverage but I do have to get it into a GMC dealership for them to do that. GMC should allow any dealership or private individual to be able to diagnose this and then still have that reimbursement to that individual for the part and their labo. It's ridiculous that now we have to have it taken to a GMC dealership and stuck in line to get this taken care of.
