DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN SO. IDAHO, DURING A HEAVY RAINSTORM, IN MODERATE TRAFFIC, MY WINDSHIELD WIPER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF ME (THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD) AND HAD TO GUIDE MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD USING THE SIDE WINDOW FOR VISABILITY. I REPEATEDLY TURNED THE WIPER SWITCHES BUT COULD NOT GET THEM TO WORK. I SAT BY THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE FOR OVER 20 MINUTES WITH MY ENGINE RUNNING WHILE TRYING TO GET THE WIPERS TO START WORKING AGAIN. THEY DID NOT. I HAD TO ABANDON MY VEHICLE AND FLAG DOWN A PASSING VEHICLE TO ASSIST ME IN GETTING HELP. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE WITH A MECHANIC, AND STARTED MY YUKON UP, THE WIPERS WORKED FINE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALER WHERE I FIRST LEARNED THAT THE WIPER MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE, I LEARNED THAT GMC KNEW IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND ALSO LEARNED THAT GMC WAS NOT GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

STARTING IN AUG 2012 I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR DOOR HANDLES AND AS OF TODAY STARTED ON THE SECOND ROUND OF REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE DOOR HANDLES, THEY CONTINUE TO POP OUT WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO SOLUTION FROM GMC ON THIS PROBLEM. WHEN YOU SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY ON A VEHICLE THE DOOR HANDLES SHOULD NOT FAIL ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY I WILL BE OUT BIG BUCKS EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS AND THAT IS WRONG. I HAVE THE VEHICLE ONE YEAR AND THIS IS THE FIFTH SET OF DOOR HANDLES I AM HAVING REPLACED. *TR
