Description of the problem	We have a 2015 gmc terrain that has 43000 miles on it and got it in may of 2018. On friday january 4th my wife was driving our terrain on interstate 485 in charlotte at morning rush hour headed to work. She was in the left lane on the high traveling about 65 mph in a steady downpour with vehicles beside her. At that time she had the windshield wipers going when all the sudden with out warning they froze in position and stopped working. She was unable to wipe the windshield making it almost possible to see. Luckily she did not have any cars behind her and she was able to slow down enough and turn on the 4 ways and ride the shoulder of the highway to come to a stop. She then called me and told me what happened while talking to me the rain subsided enough that she was able to get to the right lane and off to the exit about 2 miles up. She got off there and was able to get to work. It stopped raining that day and was clear and i researched on wht may have happened or any recalls. I came across stories of the wiper blade failure in the 2013 gmc terrain 2014 and 2015 all having the same issue. Gmc has recalled the issue on the 2013 in the united states and the 2015 model in canada but not the usa. I scheduled an appointment with our gmc dealership that monday and scheduled an appointment on that tuesday morning. We dropped it off and they said they would have to run a prognostic test even though i told them what was wrong and what i was almost positive was wrong. Later that day the technician called and confirmed that the wiper transmission broke at the end of the shaft and that they had to replace the wiper transmission assembly. From reading about the recall and the same complaints with the 2015 terrain i believed this is a recall issue and needs to be extended to the 2015 vehicles as well.
