While driving in inclement weather the windshield wipers failed to come on. Driver contacted and drove to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the windshield wiper motor needed to be replaced.
Front defroster ineffective. With the engine at operating temps, if car turned off to go into a store, when returned the windows are fogged and it takes anyplace from 5 to 20 minutes to defrost ( the engine is still at operating temps. ). Complaints to the dealer says that it is a gm design and there is nothing they can do about it.
