When leaving work while it was snowing, windshield wipers were operating. During the trip home, the wipers became jammed because of build up of snow under part of the hood that hides wipers when they are not in use. The wipers tried to move but could only shudder in place. I had to drive home in the snowfall without wipers. Upon reaching home and opening the hood I had to remove snow that was packed around wiper arms. The wipers then started to operate again. I will be bringing vehicle back to dealer since this occured at nite. Obvious the design is poor and dangerous. Thsi vehicle has less than 19,000 miles to date.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Uplander. On two occasions, the nut that holds the bolt together on the windshield wipers became loose after it snowed. The bolt was replaced and a carter pin was not used to keep the bolt in place. The dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for a diagnostic. The contact refused, therefore, the dealer stated that they could not assist. The current mileage was 45,000 and failure mileage was 40,000. Updated 3/11/08 the consumer stated would not take vehicle back to dealer for further testing at his expense. Updated 03/11/08.
