“On September 17, 2026, and again on September 20, 2026 (three separate occurrences the same day), while operating my 2023 GMC Yukon XL in rain, the windshield wipers momentarily stopped functioning while set to Auto/Intermittent mode. On both dates the automatic headlights were active (ambient temperature in the low-to-mid 80s°F), and the headlights simultaneously flickered/dropped out during the wiper interruption. This is not an isolated event; it has recurred on multiple occasions under similar conditions (active rain, wipers in Auto or Intermittent mode). …”
