What owners say
Wipers stop working In snow storm
I was driving my suv while it was raining heavily and my driver side wipers just stop working out of no where the passenger side still operates. I have not been to see if a dealer can fix it because I was unaware it was under recall so now I’m trying to find someone to fix it while under the recall.

2014 gmc terrain. Consumer writes in regard to the federal safety agency safety recall 22v‑165. The consumer requested information about being reimbursed for recall repair of the windshield wipers.
The windshield wipers suddenly stopped working when it was raining really hard last week. This caused me to almost get into a car accident because I could not see the road with all the rain. I had to stop on the side of the road until the rain stopped, which took a while. This occurred on a road where there were not many street lights, which made it even worse to see ahead. I took the vehicle to the nearest GMC dealership for diagnostics and they were not able to provide the service to repair/replace the wipers because of the recall not being complete. I currently can't drive the car when it is raining which is difficult since this is my only mode of transportation for work.
