 Description of the problemOn may 21, 2017 while driving straing down i-94 at 70mph in downpour the bushing on my windshield wiper transmission gave way, causing my windshield wipers to malfunction (windshield wiper arms flew off to the side of my car, windshield wipers would not engage in movement). My visibility was impaired requiring me to carefully navigate to the shoulder of the road (husband & 2 small children as passengers). I had to wait until the rain stopped to safely drive. My husband attempted to repair the problem by replacing it with a bushing from autozone. Unfortunately, the replacement bushing also gave way & on friday, october 6, 2017 the event occurred again while driving 55mph on m-106. Again, i had to pull of to the side of the road to wait for the rain to clear. We had service repair done at norm's automotive in south lyon where he replaced the entire transmission assembly ($400 in repairs). There is a recall on this same issue in canada, including ontario, with a work around that entails plugging a drain hole & drilling a new drain hole above the current location to prevent inclement whether from corroding the bushing on the windshield wiper transmission. General motors has determined that this issue is not "statistically significant" in michigan.
