Windshield wipers stopped working in the middle of a rainstorm in an upright position. Making visibility very low. Had to pull the car over and wait until the rain stopped. Motor is still making noises but case seems to be similar or the same as the recall on the 2013 GMC Terrains. Possible corrosion of the linkage. Accident was almost caused because of this incident.

While driving on hwy 121 in a heavy rainstorm my wipers froze! the right wiper arms stopped at 12 O clock position right in front of my view while the left arm stopped off to my far left at approx 9 oclock position sticking out past my driver side mirror!!!I had to pull over to shoulder and manually place arms in flat (off) position. I called aaa to tow me to safety. I checked fuses, they were fine and wiper motor also running but arms will not move for front wipers at all. Rear wiper still functioning.

Wiper transmission ball socket failure. Driving in heavy rain and it almost caused me to wreck. This has been recalled in Canada but not in the usa. It is the same part and the Terrains are all made in Canada....ridiculous!!!1

Driving out of state on a highway in a rain storm my wipers quit working. I was in the passing lane doing 70mph, had to pull off to the side of the highway, when the rain let up I got the car to the dealership where they fixed it and charged me $450. They had said there was not a recall and I had a partial extended warranty.so when I got back from my trip I looked into the recall info and certian cars were recalled (not mine) for the same issue, Canada recalled all years for this issue and my car was mfd by GM of Canada. They told me my miles (67000) made it out of warranty this is not a serviceable part and I did not have my wipers on for 67000 miles! myself or my young son could of been seriously hurt or even killed and GM is giving me a run around about refunding me the $450, I think I am being reasonable for my request? the part number for the part replaced is 84241847 wiper transmission module

While driving 70 mph on the interstate in the middle of the pouring rain with the windshield wipers operating, both front wipers completely stopped working out of nowhere. Luckily it was 5:45 am on my way to work with not many cars around. I threw on my hazards and pulled over until the rain cleared. I checked the fuse and it was fine, restarted my car to see if they would work, but no luck. Come to find out there is a recall that was just issued but only for 2013 GMC Terrains. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be recalled for other years of the Terrain as well.
