My wipers on my 2015 GMC Terrain failed when I was driving, during a rain storm. I called the GMC Customer Service number about this recall before I had my car inspected. After giving customer service a call, I felt like no resolution was done. Yes, I believe not having windshield wipers does put others on the road at risk, when it is needed during a rainfall. I went to an independent service to have my car diagnosed, and they confirmed that my wipers did not work and it needed replaced. There was no warnings lights on my dashboard before my wipers stopped.

Windshield wipers stopped working during rain storm on 5/17/2022 while driving with grandchildren in vehicle. This was a very dangerous occasion. No service center will inspect this free of charge. No warning lights were prompted.

The windshield wipers failed while driving the vehicle on the highway in the rain. The wipers stopped without warning and had no previous issues. I could not see out the windshield. Fortunately, I was able to get off the highway. If there was heavier traffic, it could have caused a serious accident. I took the vehicle to an independent repair shop since it was the weekend and I was about 30 miles from home. They replaced the wiper motor and wiper transmission arm. They showed me how the parts failed. I have a receipt for the work. GMC will not reimburse me for the repair since they have not issued a fix for this issue. It has been 2 years and 5 months since GMC issued the Special Coverage Adjustment. Considering the seriousness of the defect and the potential for loss of life, it is unconscionable that GMC does not have a fix for this.

The windshield wipers stopped working on 3/24/2022. There is a recall on the windshield wipers of this vehicle. I called Sunrise GMC Wolfchase and gave them the VIN and they confirmed that It was a recall and scheduled an appointment to fix it for the following week 3/29/2022. I brought the vehicle in and was told by the service manager that they would not fix the windshield wipers according to the recall because the car has a new/savage title. However, they had all parts in stock and would be able to fix it for the price of 575.32. I do not understand this because after reviewing the NHTSA.GOV answers I read that "being salvaged is not reason for a manufacturer to deny a recall. Under the law, they must replace that defective part as long as the car is drivable." Please advise as soon as possible on what steps to take next. As of now, This is our only vehicle and it is needed for transportation to and from work. Thankyou
