Wiper problem #1

The wipers stopped working during heavy rain in the middle of highway. Can hear the motor running, but the wipers fail to operate. If I operate it by hand while the switch is on low or high, I can move the blades full cycles, but it does not operate on its own. I believe it is the wiper transmission at fault like many other Chevrolet models (equinox, impalas, etc). It was highly dangerous, as in the middle of highway I totally lost my awareness of surroundings. This is unacceptable and dangerous problem, and should be recalled if affected by significant number of owners.

Exterior Rearview Mirror problem #2

2016 Chevrolet silverado. Consumer writes in regards to trailer towing mirrors visibility issues. The consumer stated the mirrors sit 6 to 8 inches too high, blocking the view of critical areas to the sides and ahead on the left side. The mirrors also interfere with the view of oncoming traffic at intersections and pedestrians. The thick posts between the windshield and the doors exacerbate the problem. Updated 08/28/2017.
