I called gm and my dealer several times in the past year due to wipers stopping suddenly causing no visibility. I had to leave my vehicle roadside several times. I have tried repairs which were only temporary. I was told there were no recalls. I finally received a recall letter and called the dealer as well as gm and was told they do not have the parts yet therefore there is nothing that can be done for me. I was told the dealer also does not keep a list of affected vehicles and it is up to me to contact the dealer weekly to see if the part is available. This is very unsafe and I can only wonder how many people may have died due to this issue.
