VISIBILITY/WIPER
FEBRUARY 2018 BOTH OF MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO PEP BOYS AND THEY ORDERED THE PARTS TO REPLACE IN ORDER FOR MY WIPERS TO WORK AGAIN. HERE I AM IN DECEMBER 2019 ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE WIPERS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE DEFECTIVE AND SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY GOING TO GET INJURED OR KILLED IF THEY DO NOT RECALL THE WIPERS FOR FAULTY MOTORS THAT WILL QUIT WORKING AT ANY TIME. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IF IT WILL POSSIBLY RAIN BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO PUT MY KIDS OR MY LIFE IN DANGER. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS HUGE ISSUE!

STEERING
A CODE RANDOMLY APPEARS ON THE DASH WHILE DRIVING. IT'S SAYS TO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING. WHEN THIS POPS UP YOU LOSE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY. IF YOU ARE IN A MIDDLE OF A TURN, YOU CAN LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR CAR. THIS HAS ALMOST HAPPENED TO ME. THIS CODE WILL STAY ON THE SCREEN THEN RANDOMLY GOES AWAY AND POWER STEERING RETURNS. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CODE WILL POP UP WHEN YOUR DRIVING AND SAME RESULT, NO POWER STEERING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENS.

DRIVING IN VERY RAINY CONDITIONS WITH MY WIPERS ON. SUDDENLY, THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AND STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION WHILE I WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO A 45 MPH ROAD. I TRIED TURNING THEM OFF AND ON AGAIN, BUT THEY WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING AT ALL (DANGEROUS AND TERRIFYING) SO I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND PULLED OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I MANUALLY PUT THE WIPERS BACK DOWN. I TRIED TURNING THEM ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES, AND AGAIN THEY WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL.
