Wiper problems of the 2021 GMC Yukon

The contact owns a 2021 GMC Yukon xl. The contact stated while driving 40 mph during a rainstorm, the front windshield wipers suddenly failed operate, causing the contact to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 21,000.

The wiper system turns off randomly when it’s raining…. It’s been taken in to the dealer multiple times but no changes made. Doesn’t matter if auto sensing is on or off.

Large fire started at rear of car. Car was parked on driveway and no one was inside. Noticed a burning smell before fire started. Could not locate any smoke. Vehicle rear burst into flames 20 minutes later. Fire department responded quickly and was able to put out the fire before it reached the house. Vehicle is totaled. Vehicle was inspected by fire department and police after fire was extinguished. They believe the fire was electrical. Vehicle is currently being inspected by insurance company. No warning lamps or messages appeared. Rear windshield wiper stopped working 2 weeks prior to fire.

Driving down an interstate on a clear sunny day 70 degrees. There were no vehicles nearby or an overpass. It was me, my husband and our dog in the vehicle. Out of nowhere we heard a large bang and I noticed the sunroof was shattered. It took all my husband all he could to from wrecking. Thankfully I thought to close the sunroof shade so more glass wouldn't land in the vehicle. There were shards 9f glass everywhere. We purchase our 2021 Yukon 3 months ago. So we were in a new vehicle with approximately 5k miles. Very scary and I was still shaking once we were able to exit the interstate. The safety guidelines for panoramic sunroof need to be updated! I had no idea this was an issue.

I've owned over a dozen gm trucks over the last 20+ years and this model is the worst ever! my complaint: gm took away the turn signal lights on the side mirrors. The turn signal indicators on the dash are too small and located with many other lights/indicators, so they cannot be seen quickly nor 'easily' and can't be heard under normal traffic conditions. This creates an incredibly dangerous situation with driver distraction trying to see if a turn signal has been activated and increases the risk of vehicles next to the truck not expecting a lane change if they are ahead of the tail lights. Numerous times over the past few weeks I've owned this vehicle, I've almost run into adjacent vehicles I couldn't 'see' because the blind spot warning system does not detect vehicles well enough to avoid turning into them and also because I was distracted trying to see the turn indicator on the dashboard, ook into the side mirrors and watch my distance to cars in front of me. The turn signal indicators on the mirrors on the prior model significantly reduced driver distractions and increased safety to the driver, passengers and adjacent vehicles. Gm must be held accountable for removing safety features! they must be forced to replace the mirrors with ones that have turn signal indicators in them like on prior model years. If it's not a safety issue, why did they have the indicators in the mirrors before?? removing the mirror signal lights was obviously a sick way for gm to save a few dollars with intended disregard for the safety of it's owners, passengers and everyone else on the road. These problems exist when the vehicle is stopped (blind spot issues), turning, changing lanes and moving on every type of roadway, but especially at highway speeds where hundreds of feet are traveled in only a few seconds, and distractions become even more unsafe and dangerous to everyone.
