Description of the problem | I was driving on rt 1 south in a rain storm at night, driving about 50 mph, put the windshield wipers on full and the wipers completely stopped. I was able to get the vehicle into the right lane and pull into a gas station. I was able to move the wipers but the wipers would not start working. I could not drive the vehicle as i could not see in the rain and needed to have roadside assistance. Aaa towed my terrain to the coleman's dealership in lawrenceville, nj as aaa said it was a safely issue so they could not tow to a residential address. I did some research and found many other 2015 terrain owners had the same issue (canada had a recall for this issue). This is a known issue and manifests during poor driving conditions (heavy rain & usually on a highway). It is only a matter of time before someone is hurt or there is a fatality due to having zero visibility on a highway in the rain. |
