Description of the problem | 1 year ago i was driving in torrential rain and my wipers stopped giving me zero visibility doing 60 in the fast lane of a major highway causing me to swerve off the road and land in a ditch. Luckily no one was hurt. I complained to gmc but nothing was done. I took to dealer and had wiper ball joint replaced and wipers. Yesterday, 1 year and 2 months almost to the day- my wipers gave out again while driving in rain and hail. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and am disgusted with gmc's response to this deadly misfunction. |
