Description of the problem	In may 2019 was driving home and it was raining and i had my wipers on and they just stopped for no reason. I turned them on and off a couple of times and it didn't help. Thank goodness i was near home and didn't wreck due to the rain and no wipers. I figured it was a fuse and went to auto zone later for them to check it. They checked the fuses and said they were good that probably something had happened to the wipers transmission. I had never heard of this and checked online that it has been a recall in canada but they didn't do a recall in us. Why i am not sure. I took my car to lawson chevrolet in greeneville tn to have it repaired and they told me the transmission had quit working on the wipers and it cost near $400. 00 to have this fixed. I feel this is a very dangerous component to quit working because you would not have your wipers on if it wasn't raining an it does come down pours where you barely have visibility with your wipers on. I would like a recall to be done on this and to get my $400. 00 back.
