“While driving in heavy rains, the passenger's side windshield wiper stopped working on my 2015 Gmc Acadia denali. The driver's side so far is still working. This occurred at the worst possible time in my area of massachusetts. We were experiencing heavy downpours and rain due to the remnants of hurricane florence. I contacted the Gmc dealer, the associate advised it was not covered. I feel this is an extremely dangerous failure of safety on a vehicle that is only 3 years old. My visibility was diminished and luckily I was close to home. …”
