I MADE A STOP AT THE STOP SIGN ON RIDGE HILL DR AND HICKORY HILL RD. AS I TURN LEFT ON HICKORY HILL RD MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND FROM THE MOTOR. SO I STAYED TRAVELING THE SAME DIRECTION ON HICKORY HILL RD TO THE AUTO ZONE ON THE RIGHT THAT'S LOCATED ON HICKORY HILL RD AND WINCHESTER RD. I PURCHASED IGNITION COILS, WIRES, AND SHARK PLUG FOR MY VEHICLE. I GET ON HICKORY HILL RD HEADING TO RAINES RD. I GET THE RED LIGHT ON HICKORY HILL RD AND RAINES RD I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN AS I TRAVEL DOWN HICKORY HILL RD I STARTED TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER MY TWO FRONT SEATS. I MADE A RIGHT ON RIDGE HILL DR TO GET OUT THE VEHICLE AT MY RELATIVE HOME. I CALLED A MECHANIC TO DO THE LABOR ON THE VEHICLE JUST IT WAS STILL IN THE SAME CONDITION AFTER THE NEW PARTS. SO I CAME TO MY VEHICLE TO GET MY PERSONAL ITEMS THAT THURSDAY APRIL 20,2017 I NOTICE A DEEP BURN LOCATION ON THE MIDDLE OF THE CARPET. I THEN PULL THE FRONT CARPET UP AND I SEEN EVERYTHING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE WAS BURNED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED MOVING WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS STILL WORKING. THE SPLINES IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE ARM WERE STRIPPED. I TRIED TO FIND A REPLACEMENT ARM, BUT GM HAS DISCONTINUED THE PART & NO AFTERMARKET SUPPLIERS HAVE ONE AVAIALBLE. SEEMS WRONG TO HAVE A 12 YEAR OLD CAR THAT CAN NOT BE DRIVEN IN THE RAIN OR SNOW. GM NEEDS TO KEEP MAKING PARTS OR RELEASE THE PATENT & LET OTHER COMPANIES MAKE THEM.
