While driving in a storm, the windshield wipers stopped working. I had to pull over and wait out the storm, too dangerous to drive. I took the car to a Chevy dealership and they said that they needed to replace the motor for the windshield wipers. It was not under warranty and cost me $400. The consumer found recall 14V447000 (seats) because the seat had dropped to the floor, the dealer stated it was not for the 2010 model. Updated 10/05/15.
