Description of the problem | On 12-7-2018, i started my car for the day. Turned on the wipers. Then went to turn them on again to rinse the rain off and the driver side blade was lifeless. Had to have transmission replaced. Totally unacceptable i've seen other complaints online and i think there should be a recall because it is a serious safety hazard to not have the driver side wiper blade operational. The car was stationary. But it was a rainy day and i had to drive to work with no wipers. By the grace of god my work is literally three minutes from home. And my son is a mechanic at a chevy dealership so i was able to have the problem fixed in a few days. But i'm sure there are quite a few people who are not so lucky that are stuck with this problem. I looked it up online and saw a 25 complaints other than mine and it happened to them while their car was in motion. |
