I don't understand on why there can be a recall on a windshield wipers and not a recall on a defect which results in total engine failure while driving. You must be aware of the problems that the 2.4 ECO-TEC engine has in relation to oil consumption and clogged PCV valve in cold weather. When the valve freezes it results in oil loss and engine failure which puts the driver and passengers in a very dangerous situation. Its all about the money and how much GM would have to pay to make this problem right. Instead the NHTSA turns a blind eye to the dangerous problem and instead investigates on why some wiper blades don't work. Do some real investigation by first going to the Facebook page titled Terrain Equinox oil consumption problems and read some real accounts of owners being put in dangerous situations.
