WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED DURING A HEAVY RAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MY WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN WERE ON BOARD. THE STUD THAT CONNECTS THE WIPER LINKAGE TO THE MOTOR HAD BROKEN. UPON RESEARCHING THIS, GM HAD ISSUED A RECALL TO AFFECTED VEHICLES IN STATES THAT RECEIVED HEAVY SNOWFALL, WEST VIRGINIA WAS INCLUDED AND WAS WHERE THIS VEHICLE SPENT MOST OF ITS LIFE. AFTER CALLING GM THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOW GARAGED IN TENNESSEE.

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 68-80MPH THERE IS A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT. IT GOES AWAY AFTER 80MPH. I HAVE HAD TIRES REPLACED, RE MOUNTED AND BALANCED, AND NEW DRIVE SHAFT. IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE MECHANIC SAID WE CAN TRY REPLACED THE REAR AXLES. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE PART AFTER PART.

CAR IS IN PARK WHEN BUTTON IS PUSHED FOR POWER LIFT GATE. POWER LIFT GATE WILL OPEN, STAYS OPEN BRIEFLY, THEN WILL BEGIN CLOSE. IT 'CATCHES' ITSELF MOMENTARILY BEFORE SLAMMING SHUT. IT HAS SLAMMED SHUT ON ME SEVERAL TIMES, CAUSING THE HATCHBACK DOOR TO HIT MY HEADING ONE OCCASION.

TAKATA-THE LIFT GATE WILL RAISE UP BUT IMMEDIATELY CLOSES. IF A PERSON IS UNDER THE LIFT GATE IT WILL SERIOUSLY INJURE THEM. FOR SOME REASON IT'S NOT STAYING OPEN. READ THE RECALL INFO BACK IN 2016 REGARDING THIS ISSUE. EVERYTHING DESCRIBED IN THAT RECALL IS WHAT MY VEHICLE IS DOING.

AT 70,000 MILES, THE VALVE SPRING BROKE, AND ALLOWED THE KEEPERS OF THE VALVE TO COME OUT AND THEN THE VALVE DROPPED INTO THE CYLINDER. THE MECHANIC HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE, AND CALLED IT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE COST TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE WAS $8922.38, AND THEN A COUPLE DAYS LATER, WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY THE ENGINE FAILURE. THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE PULLING OUT OF A STORE PARKING LOT - IT JUST STOPPED. WHEN WE TRIED RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THERE WAS A TERRIBLE NOISE (METAL PARTS WERE GRINDING INSIDE THE ENGINE)
