I own a 1996 GMC Jimmy SUV my windshield wipers would intermittently just stop working. They progressively got worse, but would just as mysteriously start working again. I had them checked a couple of times -- motor was fine, switch was fine. In November 2000 during heavy rain my wipers stopped working unexpectedly at about 100kmh/65mph on a major highway. I could not see anything, but managed to exit the highway without a crash. Needless to say this is a serious safety hazard!

While driving to indianapolis on Jan. 30,2001 for business, my windshield wipers would quit working periodically. It was raining very hard and they once stopped while passing another vehicle causing a very dangerous situation. I proceeded to drive on to indianapolis, but staying in the right lane of interstate 74 all the way so as to be able to hit the shoulder if necessary. I had to have the wipers repaired before returning home, and just recently received information that there is a recall for windshield wiper motors on 1996 GMC Jimmy. Would like reimbursement for work done to replace motor so that I could travel home safely.

I was on the highway going at the speed of 45mph when the ball joint on the front passanger tire broke, causing me to go through 3 lanes without warning and almost flipping my car over. This is not the first time where I have almost lost my life due to manufacturer defects. Last year while driving on the highway, the wipers went out on me in the middle of a thunderstorm. The wipers died out on me a total of 6 times in the last 2 years with over 10 visits to dealers for repairs. The ball joint cracking caused the cv boot to be damaged, the stabilizer lines were damaged, the line cover was damaged, and the dealer found that all 4 ball joints were severly bad - not because fo driving but manufacturer defect. The car is only four years old how could so many things be bad on a car that isn't even 4 years old. The warrantly co. And manufacturer refuse to be responsible for damage caused to other components because of the broken ball joint. The engine cooler line is also bad, including the clamp which has been replaced already by outside source. The wipers have shut down more than once and it took over 10 visits to get them fixed - including paying out of pocket expense of $433. The car has almost cost me my life more than 6 times on the highway at high speeds. Sorry to say - this car has been nothing but a death trap from day one.
