As many other complaints filed here my wiper transmission/linkage has failed also but just week for the second time after having replaced it just last year with new replacement one. i was driving home from work and it was snowing partial city street and highway driving. last year when it failed it was raining on my way home on highway. needless to say i would like an explanation as to why this has failed for a second time and no manufacturing design upgrade has been done by gm to rectify this continual failure.
While driving in a heavy snow storm the wiper blades stopped working after about an hour of use. they stopped entirely, no movement at all.
For the second time the windshield wiper linkage has broken leaving the windshield wipers inoperable and the vehicle unable to drive in any sort of adverse conditions. along with missed work and repair parts it has already cost me nearly a thousand dollars.
The ball joints in the windshield wiper module corroded over time and fell out of the socket. this caused both of the wipers to stop operating while use in rain conditions. the windshield wipers continue to be inoperable.
The wipers stopped working during severe inclement weather; almost causing a wreck due to the inability to see through the windshield. the vehicle was in motion on a highway.
As several other people with this vehicle have reported recently, wipers stopped working while in a rainstorm. i tried changing the fuse since but no change. i can hear the motor running when switching to the on position but no response at all from either wipe.
While driving the windshield wipers stop working. this is very dangerous at night during periods of intense rainfall. this has happened on two occasions. once at night during heavy rainfall with the wipers at a high continuous setting on a township road with no lines. on the other occasion i was driving on a divided highway during daytimewith light rainfall with the wipers on the intermittent setting. this is a design problem in which a plastic grommet deforms allowing it to fall from a steel ball which is part of the link which connects the windshield wiper motor to the 'transmission' that powers both wipers.
Issue # 1-the wiper blades stopped working during a rain storm and were stuck midway on the windshield right in my site line while on o long 9 hour trip. i checked the engine compartment area after stopping the vehicle in a safe area. the turned on the wiper control inside the car and could hear the motor but no viper movement occurred. the control unit for the wipers seemed to be inaccessible as there is a large sealed housing over the area covering the wiper motor so i was unable to access or try to repair myself. i waited out the storm and researched to find that the 2013 model terrain had a recall for this exact issue in the united states and that my model year car of 2015 has had the same recall in canada only even though there are several hundred reported cases in the us per consumer reports. my hope is a recall for full repair of the issue will occur immediately in the us as this is a major safety issue that could result in serious injury or even death should this defect not be recalled for repair. ...
