Consumer Description
UNKNOWN. This complaint is related to a letter I received from GM notifying me that there is the POTENTIAL for failure of the front windshield wipers due to failure of the wiper ball joints. The letter states that GM will only fix the problem IF they fail. It seems to me that this is a KNOWN problem that has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of life if it were to fail during inclement weather where you need your wipers for visibility. I believe that GM should make this issue a recall and am asking the NHTSA to look into this and advise GM to recall the affected vehicles.
