Description of the problem	While driving on a busy highway during torrential downpours, my 2013 gmc terrain's windshield wipers became immediately inoperable with no warning. The wipers went off the side of the car & immediately put myself & children in danger. I was in the left passing lane & immediately put my hazards on & opened the window trying to look out because it's was evening traffic commute time. I was able to pull over in a very unsafe location putting myself & children at risk, but had no choice due to the high traffic volume & concrete construction barriers on both sides. I came home & googled what the issue can be, only to find there is a recall but there is no remedy for this at the present time. The recall is 2013 visibility: windshield/wiper washer:motor. Nhtsa campaign # 16v582000 (summary: general motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2013 chevrolet equinox and gmc terrain vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ball joints in the windshield wiper module may corrode and wear over time, possibly resulting in one or both of the windshield wipers becoming inoperative. Consequence: inoperative windshield wipers may reduce the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. Actions: the remedy for this recall campaign is still under development. An interim notice was sent to owners on september 8, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when the remedy becomes available. Owners may contact chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or gmc customer service at 1-800-462-8782. Gm's number for this recall is 25302.
