2015 GMC Terrain VISIBILITY/WIPER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ONCE THE RAIN DISSIPATED, THE CONTACT DROVE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BALL JOINTS CONNECTED TO THE WIPERS WERE DISJOINTED. THE WIPERS WERE REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

FOR THE FOURTH TIME MY WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY IN A RAINSTORM. THE ARM BAR HAS POPPED OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THE JOINTS THAT CLIP INTO THE WIPERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR THE PAST YEAR. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE IN FLORDIA ON VACATION, IN A RAIN STORM OUR WIPERS QUIT WORKING... MY KIDS AND FAMILY WERE IN THE CAR. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND I HAD TO HANG OUT THE WINDOW TO STOP TRAFFIC FROM PASSING US SO WE COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER. WE THEN HAD TO WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO STOP SO WE COULD MAKE OUR WAY TO THE NEXT EXIT. WE GOT OFF THE EXIT AND MADE IT TO A GAS STATION AND A MECHANIC HAPPENED TO BE THERE AND HELPED US FIGURE IT OUT. WE THAN HAD TO DRIVE TO THE NEXT EXIT TO THE PARTS STORE TO GET THE PART AND FIX IT. THE BALL JOINT NO LONGER STAYS IN THE BUSHING ON THE ARM. TWO WEEKS LATER THE OTHER BUSHING DID THE SAME THING AND THEY STOPPED WORKING AGAIN.. CANADA HAS ISSUED A RECALL ALREADY ON THIS PART BACK IN 2016 & 2018... RECALL NUMBER 2016318 AND 2018137.. WHY WOULD CANADA ISSUE A RECALL BUT NOT THE UNITED STATES!!!! ABSURD!!!

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING, SLEETING. TURNED THE WIPERS ON, THEY WENT UP AND STOPPED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW. I HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE WIPERS DOWN TO OBTAIN VISIBILITY

2015 GMC TERRAIN WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERATIVE ON DECEMBER 31, 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET DURING HEAVY RAIN. WIPERS WERE SET ON REGULAR SPEED WHEN THEY FAILED. UPON INSPECTION THE WIPER ARMS FEEL TOTALLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE WIPER MOTOR. *DT*JB

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY IN A RAIN STORM. APPARENTLY IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION WITHIN THE WIPER SYSTEM.

WIPER SYSTEM FAILED/SEIZED WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN ON 11/24/18. APPARENTLY A PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION IN WIPER SYSTEM. MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 57,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE WARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK HER WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING. IT WAS DURING A BAD SNOWSTORM AT THE TIME. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT IN USA. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.

WHILE DRIVING IN A SUDDEN RAINSTORM IN IOWA IN JUNE THE WIPERS ON MY 2015 GMC TERRAIN COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING ALMOST CAUSING US TO CRASH. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE BUSHINGS GOING OUT ON THE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND THERE IS EVEN A RECALL IN CANADA. WHY NOT THE US! A COUPLE OF MECHANICS HAVE ADVISED ME THAT IT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE IT HASN'T CAUSED A PROVEN FATALITY IN THE US, WELL, WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO DRIVE AROUND A 90 DEGREE TURN AT AROUND 50 MPH WITH A SUDDEN DROP OFF THAT GOES ABOUT 50 FEET DOWN NEXT TO THE ROAD. THE ONLY REASON WE DIDN'T WRECK IS BECAUSE I HAVE DRIVEN ON THE SAME ROAD MY ENTIRE LIFE (SINCE 14) FOR ABOUT 26 YEARS. ANYONE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE ROAD WOULD HAVE PROBABLY DROPPED OFF THE EDGE OR HIT ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THIS FIXED BY MECHANICS 3X SINCE, I THINK IT IS HOPEFULLY FINALLY REPAIRED. BOTH MECHANICS ADVISED THE ENGINEERS REALLY MESSED UP AND THEY HAVE SEEN LOTS OF THESE FROM 2010 GMCS/CHEVYS AND NEWER. GM NEEDS TO TAKE A NICE LONG LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THESE AND DO FOR THE US WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN CANADA. MY VEHICLE WAS MADE IN CANADA ACCORDING THE STICKER ON THE DOOR, AND I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IF I LIVED THERE THIS WOULD BE RECALLED. THIS ISSUE GREATLY IMPAIRS ONES ABILITY TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AND PEOPLE COULD LOSE LIVES OVER THIS. I WONDER HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND THE PERSON DID NOT LIVE TO TELL YOU THEIR STORY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED MOVING AND BECAME STUCK AT THE TWELVE O'CLOCK POSITION. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE IN FRONT OF ME. UPON INSPECTION, THE PLASTIC LINKAGE/BUSHING IN THE WIPER ASSEMBLY HAD BROKEN.

WIPER TRANSMISSION ARM FAIL OUT OF BUSHING CAUSING WIPERS NOT TO WORK. I BOUGHT PART AND REPLACE IT MYSELF. WOULD LOVE TO BE REIMBURSED. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS RECALL ON 2013 AND NOT 2015.

A BUSHING BROKE ON THE WIPER TRANSMISSION WHEN I NEEDED IT THE MOST SINCE IT WAS GOING TO BE RAINY FOR A FEW DAYS. I HAVE SEEN THE 2013 TERRAINS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY GM DID NOT GET IT RIGHT SINCE IT HAPPENED ON MY 2015. SHOULD YOU NEED MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS WITH MY EXPERIENCE AT THE DEALER AS WELL AS GM DIRECTLY, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY IN THE RAIN WHEN THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR, BUT THE BLADES WERE NOT MOVING. I TURNED AROUND AND THANKFULLY I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE. THE WIPER ARM LINKAGE BUSHING BROKE. IT IS A PLASTIC PART. I CANNOT BELIEVE A PLASTIC PART IS WHAT IS HOLDING THE LINKAGE TOGETHER. THIS IS DEFINITELY A POOR ASSEMBLY ON THE PART OF GM AND SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THERE IS NO WARNING OF FAILURE. WITH TODAY BEING A SUNDAY I UNABLE TO LOCATE REPAIR SHOPS IN THE AREA. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, ITS GOING TO RAIN ALL DAY.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN RAIN STORM WHILE TRAVELING IN PARKING LOT.

DURING A SNOW STORM IN MARCH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING! LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO RETURN HOME SAFELY SINCE I WAS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. I WENT TO UNION PARK AND GOT THE ISSUE FIXED FOR $110.00. I HAD TO PAY FOR IT SINCE UNION PARK TOLD ME I HAD 38,000 MILES ON MY LEASE AND THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 36,000. THEN DURING A RAIN STORM IN LATE JUNE MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN ON THE BLUE ROUTE. I PULLED OVER UNTIL IT STOPPED RAINING AND MADE IT HOME SAFELY. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO SEARS AUTOMOTIVE WHERE THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT TOUCH IT BECAUSE THIS PART WAS RECALLED BY GMC. THE SUBJECT OF THE ALLDATA REPAIR SITE STATES '#15789- WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILURE (OCT 26, 2015)' IN AUGUST OF 2016 GMC RECALLED 368,000 GMC TERRAIN AND CHEVY EQUINOX SOLD IN 2013 DUE TO FAULTY WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE DEFECT IN THE 2013 MODELS WERE NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL LATE 2015, AND I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN APRIL OF 2015, LEADING ME TO SUGGEST THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED IN MY MODEL. THE ALLDATA REPAIR REPORT GIVEN TO ME BY SEARS AUTO STATS THAT A SIMILAR RECALL WAS MADE ON OCT 26 OF 2015. I TOOK THIS INFORMATION TO UNION PARK SERVICE CENTER AND THE ASSISTANT SERVICE DIRECTOR JAMES ASKREN REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE DATA REPORT FROM SEARS AND STATED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I TOLD HIM TO JUST CHARGE ME AND WE WILL HAVE THE COURTS DECIDE WHO IS LIABLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS HE REFUSED TO FIX THE CAR, LEAVING ME WITH A CAR THAT HAS NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS UNTIL HIS CALLED ME ON MONDAY. NO OTHER REPAIR CENTER WILL LOOK AT MY CAR SINCE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND GMC WON'T TOUCH MY CAR BECAUSE I THREATENED LEGAL ACTION. I AM FORCED TO RENT A CAR TO GET TO AND FROM WORK WHILE GMC REFUSES TO FIX MY CAR.

IF WE USE ANY CLIMATE CONTROL SETTING BEFORE USING THE DEFROSTER, THEN TRY TO USE THE DEFROSTER, IT WILL ONLY BLOW COOL AIR. IF WE CHANGE THE SETTING TO VENT, HEAT OR A/C, WARM AIR WILL BLOW, BUT SWITCH IT BACK TO DEFROST AND ONLY COOL AIR BLOWS FROM IT. WE COULD NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD OF FOG IN A WARM RAIN WITHOUT TURNING THE DEFROSTER ALL THE WAY TO HOT (95 DEGREES). AS THIS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER, IT WAS UNBEARABLY HOT IN THE CAR TRYING TO DRIVE. TOOK THE CAR TO 2 SERVICE DEPARTMENTS MULTIPLE TIMES, NO CODE SHOWS, SO NO FIX FOR THIS. WE ARE SENT BACK HOME WITH CAR AS IT IS. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED JUST AFTER BUYING THE CAR IN JULY 2015, AND CONTINUES TODAY.
