What owners wrote

Headlights- melted plug causing fire damage on both headlights, replaced with new headlights and bulbs as well as a new wire harness plug. Was driving smelt smoke/wires burning. Wipers- stop preforming during rain storm Southeastern NC on hwy 701 south on 3-24-22. And still does not work. Maybe be associated with older model terrain recall. Same happen to this model.

March 2022 Fire

I was driving on I-85 south at about 55 MPH headed to work on april 19, 2019 during a heavy rain storm. I was driving in the hov peach lane when all of a sudden, my wiper blades stopped completely in an upright position causing complete blindness. I could not see any of the cars in front of me at all. Since I was driving in the hov peach lane (left lane), I had no shoulder to pull over. My car was still partially on the interstate causing a traffic jam and people had to stop to go around me.
