One of the wiper arms has failed entirely. The dealership we purchased it from (used) advised it was repaired, but it has failed nonetheless. Our 18 year old son drives this car and it is not safe. Based on other interactions with the dealership, we believe they may have "faked" the actual repair...or they replaced the possibly defective part with an actual defective part. We want it inspected, and if old or defective, have it replaced as it should have been.
Was driving thru Atlanta at night in a rainstorm and without any warning my passenger side wiper totally quit. The driver side wiper was all I had. I had to cautiously keep driving in the very center of Atlanta. I do have the complete motor parts as I replaced it myself after buying the part from a local GM dealer. I have had no dealer inspection yet because I just heard about the recall on the 2014 and 2015 wiper recall. this happened in April of 2021.
On Feb 14 2021 took car in to a Chevy dealership to have 2 recalls done. Tailpipe emission oxygen sensor, Front wiper transmission corrosion failure. Notice on 8/29/2021 while on a road trip needed to clear bugs off front windshield no windshield fluid was coming out, so I feel the front wiper transmission corrosion failure was not repaired. Will contact dealership to have issue checked out with a different location.
Hello I had an open recall for the wiper transmission replacement. I took my vehicle to Don Brown Chevy in st.louis missouri. They where suppose to replace the wiper transmission. Mine failed while driving. Since my car had an open recall I should of received a replacement one installed. This dealer told me they did the recall and everything was good to go. Well they lied they did not complete my recall. I had to go buy one from the local parts place and install it my self. the new design comes with a rain deflector baffle. the original one in my car still had the paint lines on the wiper transmission from the factory install. They lied about doing the recall and endangered my life.
While getting ready to leave work one day it started to rain a bit, so I tried cutting on my windshield wipers and nothing happened, it wouldn't move at all, so I tried pulling over and restarting the car and they still wouldn't work. I can still hear the motor but still no movement, please help need fixed before winter !!

Recall # 2025302. I am unable to do my recall, I called the dealership near me boniface-hiers Chevrolet and explained that we only have 1 vehicle at home and in order to fix the recall I must leave the vehicle at the dealer, however they can not provide a loaner for me so I can pick up my kids from school, they can not give a labor time because they dont know the conditions of the part.
