Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
Went through car wash this afternoon, upon leaving the car wash attempted to use the wipers to clean excess water off windshield. The wipers failed to work at all, tried all speeds and still nothing. All other functions on the lever work as expected, such as wiper fluid, turn signals, ect. Lucky I was near home and not far away and caught in rain where the situation could have became much more serious.
While driving in the rain the windshield wipers just stop working, the head light indicator comes on and there is no response from windshield wipers, the rain gets harder and turned the wipers back off the headlight indicator goes off, try turning the windshield wipers back on and nothing. So when on an interstate in rain with semi trucks around you or just following another vehicle, if it is racing or pouring or whatever the weather, you need the wipers to work, this is a big problem, I have searched on line issues of this and it is something that has been a complaint from brand new and still on going. Recalls were only posted for 2 models of vehicles but the problem is with the pickups as well. The wipers are a very important part of a safe ride and it is important to have this issue fixed. The price we pay for vehicles they should be safely equipped for this price.
Was driving down the highway at highway speeds rolled the passenger window up the stereo cut off the gauges cut out and the wipers wipes in one time. Then a message stating stabilitrak needed to be serviced and electronic power steering was out
Yesterday I was driving home on the highway driving approximately 75mph when without any warning a stability steering control light flashed on the dashboard behind my steering wheel. The car immediately jolted from driving mid 70's down to an immediate 67mph. This speed limit was the last thing that flashed before my dashboard blacked out, the steering column locked and the vehicle entirely lost power while driving. Seconds later my windshield wipers sporadically started moving (I did not engage the switch) and I watched the temperature go up from 70 to 80 without touching the gauge manually. The car jolted for almost 10 miles sporadically losing control intermittently and when I exited off the highway and made a left hand turn at a low speed (under 15mph) the steering completely locked and the car pulled off to the side of the road toward a curb. I gained control of the vehicle manually which was difficult but I did correct the drive path back onto the road. I pulled into the dealership at a low rate of speed and the car did the same thing as it did when I exited the highway. I'm in a loaner and the dealer has my vehicle. This vehicle was purchased used roughly 2 months ago from a registered gmc dealer with 40k miles on it. It now has roughly 44k on it. I have made 1 payment on this vehicle thus far.
I am recieving stabilatrac , ABS, powersteering, errors. My wipers will only work if I hit my brakes. The cruise control doesn't work anymore.
