2023 GMC Yukon XL Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“While driving in heavy rain, the wipers failed and stopped working. Turning on and off the car did not re-set or help the wipers to work. Hugely dangerous. Dealership trying to charge me a huge sum to fix what should be a working component of the car that is 2 years old. Recall this immediately! Dealership wants almost $500 total and made me put $200 down before any work is done!”

“While driving through rain on a long car trip, the wipers suddenly became completely inoperable. We could not see and were on a highway causing a serious safety issue. We had to drive very carefully off the next exit ramp. Tried turning on and off the car, no luck. Tried toggling the rain sense on the display and finally wipers came back on. About 20 miles down the road the same thing happened. Wipers became inoperable. We had to exit highway 4 times to try to wait and toggle for wipers to come back on. …”

“Windshield wipers periodically fail to operate when turned on. This is but extremely dangerous because it's been impossible to determine what the cause is.

This is a hazard especially if you are in the middle of driving and it’s storming. The a few days ago for instance I was driving and all of a sudden they stopped working while I was driving home in the rain, at night. I had to immediately pull onside the road and wait for the rain to stop because I tried everything to get them to start back working. Including observing and trying to make sure it wasn’t the wiper /signal switch. …”

“Multiple times the windshield wipers have randomly stopped working. Other times were on short drives from home and we were able to get home safely but had issues with visibility. Eventually they would come back on and start working again. Yesterday this occurred while we were out of town and driving home on the interstate in traffic and very heavy rain. It was almost impossible to see the road and due to multiple lanes of traffic it was a very dangerous situation. This is an huge safety issue and has now put my families safety in jeopardy on multiple occasions. …”
