Wiper problems of the 2013 GMC Terrain - part 1

Unknown.

My 2013 engine blew out, I did an oil change around February and a month later took my vehicle to aamco and they found a gallon of coolant in the engine. None of the warning lights came on prior to this happening at all whatsoever. The oil life was still at 32% with no oil in my engine. All 3 of my windshield wipers as well rotted within the year that I purchased the vehicle. Now I do not have a working vehicle at all whatsoever due to the engine and car not wanting to start. When I put the code reader in when it first happened it told me it was the camshaft sensor so I changed both sensors and all the spark plugs and even bought the crankshaft sensor and it was none of the above until later I found out it was the engine that blew. I have spent so much money on this vehicle it’s ridiculous.

1 year ago I was driving in torrential rain and my wipers stopped giving me zero visibility doing 60 in the fast lane of a major highway causing me to swerve off the road and land in a ditch. Luckily no one was hurt. I complained to GMC but nothing was done. I took to dealer and had wiper ball joint replaced and wipers. Yesterday, 1 year and 2 months almost to the day- my wipers gave out again while driving in rain and hail. I do not feel safe in this vehicle and am disgusted with GMC's response to this deadly misfunction.

While driving on a busy highway during torrential downpours, my 2013 GMC Terrain's windshield wipers became immediately inoperable with no warning. The wipers went off the side of the car & immediately put myself & children in danger. I was in the left passing lane & immediately put my hazards on & opened the window trying to look out because it's was evening traffic commute time. I was able to pull over in a very unsafe location putting myself & children at risk, but had no choice due to the high traffic volume & concrete construction barriers on both sides. I came home & googled what the issue can be, only to find there is a recall but there is no remedy for this at the present time. The recall is 2013 visibility: windshiels/wiper washer:motor.

The window wipers have stopped working while I was driving on the highway in the rain with my family. I had a mechanic look at it and put the ball joint back in the socket.

My concern is that this may lead to an accident if driving during a heavy storm.

I was driving to work on highway rt. 3 going approximately 52 miles per hour. It was raining very hard and my windshield wipers just stop working. I almost ran into the car in front of me, when I put on brakes my vehicle slide off of the road. The car behind me cut in front of the vehicle in the next lane and he almost crashed. This was regarding a recall of the windshield wipers that GMC sent me earlier this month. I called them and they stated that it is not a complete recall and they are not responsible for getting it fixed. I have to pay out of pocket, if I want my vehicle repaired.

Windshield wipers stopped working, cannot drive in the rain. Received a letter about a recall. (campaign id 16v582) called GMC's home office as well as two dealerships and am being told because there is no remedy for the problem yet, I have to pay out of pocket for the repairs to be done and then wait to be reimbursed by the dealer when the recall has been remedied, which one dealer said could take years. I am a single guy living on my own and my income is very tight from month to month, and I don't feel that I should have to pay for this repair due to faulty craftsmanship by GMC. Also, I'm being lied to by these dealers for the repair cost. The GMC rep told me that a temporary fix would cost $70-$140, every dealer is quoting me $400+ and I simply cannot afford that, I feel that this is absurd and needs to be repaired with no cost out of my pocket.

Last week I was driving home while it was raining and both my front windshield wipers stopped while I was driving. I nearly had an accident and I had to abruptly pull over. I took my car to the dealership two separate times, after this occurred, and they informed me that GMC has no remedy to fix this problem. I contacted GMC directly and they told me there was nothing they could do either because they haven't identified how to fix it. I received a recall letter also.
