2012 GMC ACADIA Visibilitywiper Problems

FRONT BLOWER MOTOR FOR DEFROST/HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING. SEEMS TO STOP WORKING MORE OFTEN IN RAIN, SNOW, AND COLD. HAS BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE DEFROST DOESN'T WORK AND WINDSHIELD FOGS UP. VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. BELIEVE THAT SOME OLDER ACADIA MODEL YEARS HAVE A RECALL ON THE BLOWER MOTOR BECAUSE IT GETS WET DURING RAIN AND SNOW AND NO LONGER WORKS. THE 2012 ACADIA HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. POTENTIALLY GETTING WET THROUGH A FAULT IN THE SUNROOF?? (08312020REAR BLOWER CONTINUES TO WORK.)

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT BULB AND THE DAY LIGHT BULBS 4 TIMES SINCE JANUARY. EACH TIME I REPLACE ONE THE OTHER GOES OUT AND IT DOES'T LAST LONGER THAN A FEW WEEKS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND STRESSFUL AS THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING HOME TWO NIGHTS AGO AND THE ROAD THAT I TAKE TO GET HOME IS VERY DARK. ALSO, I HAD TO REPLACE THE MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH (WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH DUE TO IT ONLY WORKING ON HIGH SPEED) IN JANUARY. I'VE NOTICED MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM AS BUYING BULBS ARE BECOMING EXPENSIVE AS WELL AS THE TIME IT TAKES TO GET THEM REPLACED CAN BE LENGTHY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ONLY WORKED AT THE HIGHEST SETTING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

EXACT PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED BY OTHER OWNER...WHEN THE WIPERS ARE ON AND AND THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED, THE WIPERS STOP WORKING. TO GET THEM WORKING AGAIN I HAVE TO TURN THE WIPERS ALL THE WAY OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN OR TURN OFF THE TURN SIGNAL. IN THE RAIN I HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT VISIBILITY OR USING MY DIRECTIONAL. NOW WIPER WILL ONLY WORK ON HIGH 6 MOS LATER

WHEN THE WIPERS ARE ON AND AND THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED, THE WIPERS STOP WORKING. TO GET THEM WORKING AGAIN I HAVE TO TURN THE WIPERS ALL THE WAY OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN OR ACTIVATE THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL. IN THE RAIN I HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT VISIBILITY OR USING MY DIRECTIONAL. NOT A GOOD CHOICE TO HAVE TO MAKE.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK INCONSISTENTLY. VISIBILITY CAN BE LOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CONDITIONS CONSIST OF VERY HEAVY RAIN. PASSENGER WIPER BOLT CAME LOOSE AND CAUSE THE WIPER BLADE TO TANGLE UP WITH DRIVER WIPER. DRIVER WIPER NOW BENT, PASSENGER WIPER NOW STOPPED WORKING. DRIVER WIPER NOW DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TENSION BECAUSE IT WAS BENT TO CLEAN THE WINDOW ADEQUATELY. I DO REMEMBER A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AND DID RECEIVE A LETTER FROM GMC TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER. I DID TAKE THIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER IN 2012 THEY SAID THEY ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. I ONLY GO TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAD A SMALL WRENCH AND WAS ABLE TO TIGHTEN THE BOLT UP ON THE PASSENGER WIPER. THE REASON I AM SUBMITTING THIS IS BECAUSE THE FIX GMC SUGGESTED DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK. I AM SCHEDULED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER...
