What owners wrote
While driving in heavy rain storms the windshield wipers are inoperative which can cause an accident. Windshield wipers have been twice replaced. Dealer cannot determine the problem.
Windshield wipers have been standing straight up when in an off position for 6 or 7 years. Found the campaign and then the recall and tried to get a remedy from the on several occasions as well as GM ,to no avail..I was made to buy a motor for the windshield wipers and that worked for a little while. Then last summer or fall I went back to the dealer because now the issue looked to be a recall, and they told me there was, but not for my VIN#, and I was made to pay $70 for the adjustment..it is now not working…
