What 135 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 GMC Yukon Denali Xl 1500

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE WIPERS WOULD SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. AFTER GETTING THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE, I PURCHASED A NEW WIPER MOTOR. ONLY TO FIND THAT, DUE DO A DEFECT IN ENGINEERING, THE LINKAGE HAD SEIZED UP. HAD I NOT NOTICED THE LINKAGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, I COULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AGAIN.

DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER (SNOW AND RAIN) WHEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE NECESSARY FOR VISIBILITY, THE WIPERS WOULD EITHER MOVE VERY SLOWLY OR INTERMITTENTLY AND STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD DESPITE THE WIPER CONTROL SET TO HIGH AND NOT ON THE INTERMITTENT SETTING. THIS WOULD OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT IDLE AND IN MOTION, ANY SPEED. THIS OCCURRED BETWEEN MARCH 2016 UNTIL A NEW WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY WAS PURCHASED AND INSTALLED WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY 2016. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE OF RECALL FROM GMC HOWEVER I DID DISCOVER A RECALL THROUGH WWW.AUTOZONE.COM (# 15789: SERVICE PARTS SAFETY - WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILURE - (OCT 26, 2015)) .
