Description of the problem | While driving in the rain the windshield wipers stopped for no apparent reason. I had to change lanes through traffic and stop on the shoulder because i had no visibility. This same event has happened a couple of times previous to this incident. My husband own a different gmc vechile that was recalled due to the same problem. It seems that the 1998 yukon was not included in the most recent recall related to this problem and i believe this is a serious issue that gm should address. This defect is putting alot of people in danger and it is very clear that gm is aware of it.*ak |
