    UNKNOWN The car shakes when I tried to reverse and when I try to move forward it doesn’t accelerate. The tire pressure lights went on but the tire pressure is fine. I had it towed to a shop and they said they’re getting transmission codes. Unfortunately that shop doesn’t specialize in transmission so I’m waiting for a transmission specialist to look at it. Also the driver side electric seat doesn’t move backwards anymore it’s stuck in one spot.

    The windshield wipers failed while driving the vehicle on the highway in the rain. The wipers stopped without warning and had no previous issues. I could not see out the windshield. Fortunately, I was able to get off the highway. If there was heavier traffic, it could have caused a serious accident. I took the vehicle to an independent repair shop since it was the weekend and I was about 30 miles from home. They replaced the wiper motor and wiper transmission arm. They showed me how the parts failed. I have a receipt for the work. GMC will not reimburse me for the repair since they have not issued a fix for this issue. It has been 2 years and 5 months since GMC issued the Special Coverage Adjustment. Considering the seriousness of the defect and the potential for loss of life, it is unconscionable that GMC does not have a fix for this.
