Example complaints

“The wiper transmission broke on the driver's side. I can look through the plastic shield and see if has came apart. I have no drivers wiper function no more. I see online this is a common problem with cruzes. The car only has 54k on it. I now have to pay a $100 deductible on my extended warranty. This should never have gone bad this soon and should be covered by GM. Its a safetly hazard not having a wiper in raining weather which itas been raining for days lately.”
NHTSA complaint #11365504, filed 2020-10, 54,000 miles“I was driving to work, on I-95, and it was raining hard enough for me to have my wipers moving constantly. Out of nowhere, the driver side wiper just stopped working. It went up, but it never came back down.”
NHTSA complaint #11404628, filed 2021-03, 136,071 miles“Heavy rain last 2 days.. Turned on wipers and the driver side wiper failed to complete its course, causing the passenger side wipe to run over the driver side one. The passenger side wiper then became entangled with the stuck driver side wiper and actually caused it to flip up and over, thus rendering both wipers useless and me unable to see where I was driving during a heavy rainy / foggy night! I managed to pull into a plaza safely to flip my passenger side back to its proper position. …”
NHTSA complaint #11062346, filed 2018-01, 9,350 miles“When the driver side wiper is in motion the arm reaches too far to the left and get stuck or arm connection under the windshield that look like a ball in socket dislocates when driving in the rain. Causing poor visibility.”
NHTSA complaint #11296850, filed 2020-01, 59,660 miles“One of the windshield wipers stopped working. It moves up a 1/2 inch then moves back down. Won't go any higher than that. Happed out of nowhere and the other works perfectly fine. It looks like a bolt or something is loose.”
