AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET THE WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING. I TRIED TO TURN THE WIPERS BACK OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND THE MOTOR SEEMS TO WORK HOWEVER THE BLADES WERE NOT MOVING. IT WAS RAINING OUT AND I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. LUCKILY I DID NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT.

ENGINE
ENGINE IS CONSUMING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE AND WE HAVE TO ADD OIL FREQUENTLY (APPROXIMATELY EVERY 800-1000 MILES). THERE IS ALSO A FAILURE WITH THE OIL LIGHT, AS IT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE OIL IS LOW. WE JUST HAPPENED TO CHECK IT WHEN THERE WAS A SLIGHT TICKING SOUND. THERE IS AN APPARENT RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT IT ONLY COVERS VEHICLES WITHIN 7 YEAR 6 MONTHS OF IT BEING PUT INTO SERVICE OR 120,000 MILES. IT HAS 129,000 CURRENTLY. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND WERE NOT NOTIFIED BY GM OF THE RECALL UNTIL IT WAS ALREADY PAST THE CUT-OFF DATE AND MILEAGE. THIS IS A TERRIBLE PROBLEM, AND THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH. I CALLED THE NUMBER ON THE RECALL CLAIM AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT A LOCAL DEALER. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT GM. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID NOTHING COULD BE DONE. SO I'M NOW CONTACTING THE ATTORNEY LISTED ON THE RECALL TO SEE IF I CAN GET SOME HELP WITH SOME SORT OF EXTENSION. GM NEEDS TO DO BETTER.
