I was driving in a heavy rainstorm at night at approximately 40 MPH. Suddenly, the windshield wipers stopped moving. I had no visibility out my front windshield, as a sheet of water lay on the glass, with the glare worsened by the headlights of oncoming vehicles. I was on a narrow state road with no shoulders (a guardrail on one side, mature trees on the other), with no safe place to pull over. The wipers would not operate in any setting (high, low, intermittent). The next day, during the daylight, I observed that I could manually 'freewheel' the wiper arms. While I could hear the windshield motor turning, the wiper arms themselves appeared to be no longer linked/tethered to the wiper motor. Two days later, the gmc dealer informed me that my "wiper transmission was broken". While the repair cost me $372, my bigger concern is that this incident easily falls within the top 3 most horrifying experiences of my life....driving alone, at night, in the rain, and suddenly a catastrophic failure of both wipers, leaving me unable to see out my front windshield, with oncoming traffic and nowhere to pull off the road.

Requesting a recall on the 2010 gmc terrain. Mileage that was on the sticker was incorrect. Far from the truth. Major oil consumption, never seen anything like it. Tapping noise was reported @ 3,000 was told it was normal. Knew it was not. Had to replace camshaft, electrical problem, head lights constantly going, never lasting anytime. Will now have to replace transmission and probably engine. Gmc stated they have no record of any problems with the terrain they stated if there were any problems there would have been recalls and that the federal safety agency would have done this. Will this be done? Not sure how gmc is getting away with this. So many complaints on line. Are there any class action suits for the terrain? Can we start one? There are plenty of people with the exact same problem. Not even similar it's exact.
