Description of the problem | As i was driving home from work this evening on a highway at approximately 6:15pm it started to pour down rain. Due to the rain i was going about 45 mph. I turned my wipers on the highest speed possible. After about 5 minutes they instantly stopped working and were stuck in the vertical position. The wipers would not move in my attempts to cut them on and off again. It was truly terrifying. Between the rain, thunder, lightning and not being able to see i was really in a dangerous situation. I was able to pull off the road without injuring myself or someone else fortunately. I had to sit there and wait for it to stop raining before i could go home. After doing some research online it appears that this is a problem that you are aware of. This is a serious problem that gmc, in my opinion, is responsible for. I |
